About four and a half years ago I found out I was celiac. So the last time I had lava cake must have been five years ago. Have you ever had lava cake? We used to live in a town on the East Coast that had a Chart House Restaurant right on the water. The…
Monday, January 31
I don’t have a new recipe today, so I’m going to do something I hardly ever do here on Spunky, and just talk a little 🙂 Last night it began to snow, and it’s been lightly snowing all day. I know some of you are probably really tired of snow right about now, but despite…

Blueberry Nut & Seed Muffins (grain-free, dairy-free)
Last night I watched Julie and Julia for probably the 10th time 🙂 So, of course, after I watched it, I had to eat two poached eggs. “How can something as simple as a poached egg be so perfect?” I wondered. Then I drooled over this muffin by La Tartine Gourmande and all of the…
Karina’s Hot Artichoke Dip gluten-free & vegan
Recently I spied Karina’s Hot Artichoke Dip, and I immediately knew that I wanted to make it and enter Sea’s January, Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger event. Seeing Karina’s Hot Artichoke Dip brought back wonderful memories of family get-togethers, where my mom, grandmother or aunts served hot creamy dip before dinner. I can’t remember the last…
Nutty Szechuan Vegetable Noodles
This is what I ate for dinner tonight. Sigh. Isn’t it beautiful? It tasted as good as it looks too. As you know, I don’t eat a lot of grains. For one reason, Ashley and I have a hard time digesting them (especially rice), and for another reason, I gain weight just looking at grains…
Coyote Quinoa Cookies Freezer Fudge
If you have my second cookbook, and you’ve made my Coyote Cookie Bars, then you may suffer from the same problem I do: Eating all the raw cookie dough 🙂 Last time I made them I had to eat some of the dough (as usual) and it got me thinking… this would make a great…
Desserts Without Compromise, by Ricki Heller, gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, egg-free
Today I’m really excited to be offering a giveaway for my friend, Ricki. You may know her by her terrific site, Diet Dessert & Dogs. Ricki and I have a similar approach to recipes. We both use lots of nuts and seeds, and we have a shared love of stevia 😀 Ricki has offered to…
gluten-free at Martino’s Pizzeria, Lafayette, CO
We went to Martino’s for gluten-free pizza today. Despite Zoe’s decision to wear short sleeves, it was a very cold, kind of overcast day. Not exactly typical for the area, but a nice change. (Yesterday it was so warm and sunny that I didn’t even need a coat on my walk.) We don’t get television…
Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie Pockets
I had some leftover chicken that I needed to use, and I thought a pot pie pocket sounded really good. We used to love pot pies before we went gluten-free, and like my gluten free chicken nuggets / strips, we haven’t eaten pot pie in ages. I can still picture us in the kitchen of our…
