Peaches are not in season in Utah, but I am patiently waiting for them to grow and ripen. We had such a beautiful, warm Spring that I’m pretty sure we’ll have early peaches this year. I pulled out my last bag of frozen sliced peaches from last year’s stash and felt a little excitement about […]
S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches
{This was originally a guest post I did for Spark last summer. I couldn’t resist re-posting it over here. Summer is coming, and this is a fabulous, if labor intensive, dessert to usher in the hot weather, long days, and all things fun.} Homemade marshmallows turned into homemade ice cream, homemade graham crackers, and homemade […]
Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream
{This is from the archives with newly edited pics. Perfect for Spring and Summer, don’t you think?} I miss the blueberries we picked on the East Coast. It was so magical for my little girl to run through the bushes and pick off the sweet blue globes and drop them into her bucket. She loved […]
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Chewy Gingerbread Bars
As promised, the Chewy Gingerbread Bars. For anyone who still thinks that if it’s gluten-free it can’t be good, well…I defy you to try these. They are awesome. So awesome I might have eaten most of the pan by myself. I might have hidden them from my kids, even though they loved them as I […]
Indian Spiced Pear Honey Sorbet
I had a busy weekend. Do you ever have those weekends where you’re glad to see Monday come? Nah, me either. I’m never glad to see Monday come. :) My birthday is tomorrow. I will turn 31. This year I am feeling much better about getting older than when I stared 30 in the face […]
Butterscotch Blondies
When I was a little girl, my mom would occasionally make Butterscotch Brownies (Blondies) out of her old red and white Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. (This is the original recipe.) They were magnificent. This recipe differs slightly in that it has more flour so they are more like chewy cookies instead of candy. Mom’s […]
Oat and Irish Butter Shortbread Cookies Recipe for St. Patrick’s Day
These tasty, melt-in-your-mouth butter shortbread cookies are based on my grandmother’s shortbread cookies recipe. I’ve used grass-fed butter from Ireland and oat flour to give these cookies a little Irish flair. My daughter came home from school yesterday asking me if leprechauns were real and “what do snakes have to do with St. Patrick’s Day […]
Dairy-Free Meyer Lemon Curd Ice Cream
Meyer lemons. Have you tried them yet? I keep seeing them for sale. I think no one in my community knows how fabulous they are. Even yesterday there were dozens of bags just waiting to be taken home and turned into a lovely lemon curd or ice cream, or both. Man. It’s already March 7th! […]
Buttered Pecan Pots de Creme
I had grand plans of using a bar of Amano chocolate to make gluten-free, dairy-free molten chocolate cakes for Valentine’s Day. I haven’t given up on that idea. I’ve been saving that bar of fancy chocolate for months. But I was rather in the mood for caramel, I decided. Something with caramel and nuts. And […]
Gluten-Free Vegan Linzer Cookies
Linzer cookies are a holiday favorite. These Gluten-Free Vegan Linzer Cookies are as good as the original. Fill them with your favorite jam or chocolate hazelnut spread. I had so much fun making these Gluten-Free Vegan Linzer Cookies! Three years ago when I was baking with the Tuesdays With Dorie group, I made Dorie’s lovely […]
