I set out to make spinach artichoke calzones this afternoon. I made some a couple days ago, but I wanted to make a few changes to the crust. These came out amazing, and so much better than the first try (which wasn’t bad), but they also didn’t come out as calzones. They came out as…
Gluten-free Chicken Nuggets with Honey Mustard Dressing
The other day I came across my first handwritten recipe book. It’s really cute. I covered a small blank sketchbook with pages from a cooking magazine and Mod Podged over the top to protect it. Then I made tabs for sections like bread, chicken, and casserole. Most of the recipes came from my mom—things she…
Chocolate Date Frosting
Once in a while it hits me… the craving for a slice of chocolate cake =) I’ve always been crazy for chocolate cake. And believe it or not, I think the cakes I make now (that I’m gluten-free) are even better than the ones I use to eat many years ago. As it usually goes…
Gluten-free Gingerbread Cookies
As you may know if you follow my blog, I’ve been recreating Scandinavian cookies to be gluten-free, casein-free, and refined sugar-free. I’m half Danish, and we like to incorporate as many traditions into our Christmas holiday as possible. First I made Thumbprint Cookies, and lots of you tried them and loved them. Then I had…
Vanilla Shake (vegan, dairy-free, refined sugar-free)
Sometimes I want to get my protein quickly and easily. And sometimes it’s not about protein, it’s about me just wanting a smoothie =) I think I lived on smoothies as a child and teen. Either for health reasons or not, there’s no better way than this vanilla shake. When I first saw hemp…
Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
Don’t these mock mashed potatoes look amazing? They are =) I got the idea from my friend, Elana. You can see her recipe here. Although I do eat white potatoes once in a while, I don’t like to eat them constantly. But to have “mashed potatoes” more often sounds like a good idea to me….
Merry Christmas Menu Planning
I’m sitting here in my kitchen, planning my shopping list for Christmas dinner. Some of the ingredients I want to use aren’t available at my local health food store. So I’m going to have to make a special trip to Boulder to get certain things, like the lingonberry sauce, and the ground meat for my…
Kerstin’s Almond Squares (gluten-free, casein-free)
If you follow me on the Spunky Coconut Facebook Page then you know that I was trying to make a Scandinavian jelly roll this morning. Well, technically, at 9:30PM last night, and again this morning. They didn’t work, but maybe I’ll figure them out later 😀 In the meantime, I switched gears to tackle Kerstin’s…
Cool Metric to English chart poster & tea towels
Hi all. This is Kelly’s husband, Andrew. I follow a lot of graphic designers online and noticed these awesome cooking measurement prints designed and sold by Hero Design Studio in Buffalo, NY. I thought I’d share the find here. These are silk screened prints in four different colors. So cool. I want one to frame…
pizza, pizza, pizza… oh, the gluten-free pizza here in Coloado
Soon you will be able to go to any pizza place in Boulder and the surrounding area, and order a gluten-free pizza. Maybe we’re already there. I can think of more pizza places that offer gluten-free pizza than I can think of ones that don’t. It’s remarkable. If food plays an important role in your…
