Lately it seems like more and more people are needing egg-free recipes, either for themselves or their children. My kids don’t have a problem with eggs, but I notice that eggs tend to make me feel bloated and very tired. But whether you eat eggs or not, these blueberry muffins are a Guiltless Pleasure—the theme…
Chocolate & (fake) Peanut butter Sandwiches
This Chocolate & (fake) Peanut Butter spread is something that we eat often—sometimes all by itself 😉 like an after dinner treat. One tablespoon is as satisfying or more than a whole dessert. I have other versions of it, like the Frozen Sunbutter Fudge on page 166 in my cookbook. Sunbutter (which tastes similar to…
Macadamia Nut & Coffee Ice Cream dairy-free, vegan
Yesterday it was so hot, or maybe it wasn’t that hot, it just caught us completely by surprise. My mom is in town visiting, and I knew it was supposed to be around 65 degrees, so the girls and I took her to the Denver Zoo. It was 1:00 in the afternoon, and we felt…
my Flourless Brownies with Sunbutter made by Shirley, at GFE
One of my dearest friends in the blogosphere is Shirley, at Gluten Free Easily, or GFE, for short. Shirley began commenting on my recipes a little over a year ago, and shortly after created her website, which has become a huge success. She runs a celiac support group in her town, which I was thrilled…
Egg-free, Grain-free Brownies, version 2
I decided to celebrate my cold being over with some brownies for breakfast this morning =D Only, I haven’t been tolerating eggs well lately (they are making me bloated and extremely tired), so I decided to revisit my Egg-free, Grain-free Brownies. They tasted great already, but I wanted to go ahead and make them vegan…
Ceramic Bundt Pan
I wanted to take a quick photo of my ceramic bundt pan to show to you. A couple friends have asked me what I use, since I make bundt cakes a lot, and there are bundt cake recipes in my cookbooks. When I began baking I was unable to find a bundt pan in stores…
Oscar Blues unfriendly to gluten free diners
UPDATE: When Oskar Blues first opened its restaurant in Longmont we were excited (see old post below). However, we won’t be going there anymore. We visited September 17th, and found the management had recently decided to do away with its gluten free menu labeling. Servers were completely unhelpful when we asked about whether the old…
Cashew Cream Dill Sauce dairy-free, vegan, raw
As I mentioned in my last post, both my friend and I were so crazy about this cashew sour cream/cream cheese, whatever you want to call it (Heaven comes to mind), that we were imagining other things we could eat with it. She suggested slightly steamed asparagus—brilliant. I had to run to the store for…
Cashew Sour Cream & Cream Cheesedairy-free, vegan, raw
Another friend on the Spunky Coconut Facebook Page, Lisa, reminded me of this great recipe: Cashew Sour Cream. I hadn’t made it in over a year, and I was so grateful to Lisa for making it and bringing it up. She also suggested this link for more great nut cheese recipes. Thanks Lisa! This is…
Coconut & Raw Cacao Pudding dairy-free, vegan
Don’t you just love happy accidents in cooking/uncooking? heehee! I think probably half or more of my recipes came to be because I was out of something, or several things, and had to try another ingredient. Does that happen a lot to you too? Yesterday I was out of almonds to make almond milk, and…
