Yesterday we decided to use the Denver Museum of Nature & Science membership that the grandparents gave us for Christmas -woohoo! And since we were in the area, we thought it was the perfect day to try out the gluten-free menu at Udi’s Cafe in Stapleton. Many of you may know and love Udi’s already,…
Thai Quinoa Soup, gluten-free, GFCF, dairy-free
It’s been really cold here lately, not that I don’t eat soup in the summer 😉 Still, I do eat more soup in the winter, and with the snow outside, there’s something cozy and romantic about a bowl of soup. Plus, if you shop at Costco like I do, perhaps you have also been coming…
Caesar Salad gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m really craving salad after eating all those mashed potatoes and stuffing 😉 This salad is topped with Hemp Seeds (a great source of omega 3 essential fatty acids), apples and raisins. Yum! I used my caesar salad dressing (p 85 in my cookbook), but it’s also really…
Monster Quinoa Almond Butter Cookies
Did your mom ever make Monster Cookies with you when you were little? When my brother and I were little my mom used to make them with us at Christmas. I don’t know how these cookies began, but I’m guessing Mars, Inc. was behind it, since Monster Cookies feature M&M’s candy. 🙂 If you google…
Photo shoot —Another collaboration with my honey ;-)
Hi my friends! Andy and I are getting ready to take off a few days for Christmas vacation, but first we were lucky enough to collaborate on another project together. He was asked to design the second edition of the cookbook, My Kid’s Allergic to Everything Dessert Cookbook, and I was asked to bake and…
Sandwich Rolls grain-free, egg-free, gluten-free
I can hardly find the words to express my excitement over this recipe! It began as a garlic bread, then became Saffron Buns, and is now making my mouth so happy as a sandwich roll, although it doesn’t actually need fillings to be thoroughly enjoyed. We had a couple last night, hot out of the…
Santa Lucia Day Saffron Buns
As many of you probably know by now, I’m part Danish. In Denmark, the rest of Scandinavia, and Italy, Santa Lucia Day is celebrated on December 13th. Young girls dress in white gowns with a red ribbon tied around their waist, and a wreath of candles crowns the head. The song of St. Lucia is…
Strawberry Almond Gluten Free Muffins, grain-free, casein-free
As many of you may experience, when you don’t eat refined sugar, and cut back on the natural sugars in your life, your taste for sweetness goes down. I really dislike anything too sweet, after several years of eating this way. What I didn’t realize was that my own tolerance for sweetness has gone down,…

frozen blended Nutcracker Sweet tea latte
This is my family’s favorite holiday drink. Here is the recipe as it appears in my first cookbook, and in my blog post from last holiday season. However, it’s not a perfect science. Sometimes I freeze the tea and pour the cashew milk over, rather than the other way around. Sometimes I measure the liquid…
