Lately I have been on a huge ginger and cayenne kick. I can’t get enough of the stuff. So I thought, why not have it in my dessert too? 😉 Ginger and cayenne make fantastic coconut milk soup -what happens when you take out anything that wouldn’t belong in ice cream, and freeze it? Heaven…
Extra Creamy Mint Chunk Dairy-Free Ice Cream
This 2009 recipe is like Spunky Coconut Ice Cream version 1.0. If you like this, then you will ♥love♥ my 2014 Dairy Free Ice Cream book. I never need an excuse to eat ice cream, but since it is summer here in the Colorado Front Range, and yesterday it was 97 degrees, I thought a…
Blueberry Dairy-Free Parfait
As we speak, my husband is devouring the blueberry parfait in this photograph, and I keep hearing comments like, “Oh, this is so good.” And getting my meat-and-cake-eating-man to eat anything fresh and uncooked means it must be true! 🙂 What’s also really nice about this blueberry parfait (besides how healthy it is) is that…
Stuffed Red Peppers gluten-free, dairy-free
The other night, one of the little girls in the neighborhood was over for dinner, and these were the only ingredients left in my fridge 🙂 Luckily, these stuffed red peppers turned out so delicious that all 3 little girls, as well as Andy and I, went back for more. Well, okay, one little girl…
Creamy Dairy-Free, Egg-free Ranch Salad Dressing

When I read that Carol, of Simply Gluten-Free, was hosting this month’s Go Ahead Honey, It’s Gluten-free! I knew it was going to be fun. Carol has such a great sense of humor, and of course her theme gave me a laugh: Manly Food! So I should explain that when it comes to my man,…
camping and eating gluten-free in Steamboat Springs, Colorado
This weekend we went on a 4 day, 3 night camping trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It was so green and beautiful, I wished we could stay longer! For breakfast we had tea, and homemade granola (see end for recipe), with fresh fruit and berries, which we picked up daily at one of three local…
Vanilla Bean Cake
After eating black bean cakes like Lauren’s chocolate bean cake (from Healthy Indulgences), I was hungry for a vanilla version. However, the only white bean cake recipes I found included a cup of flour or a cup of pumpkin, so I had to come up with a totally new recipe, avoiding those ingredients. I am so…
how to make almond milk video
Forgot to say, make sure you strain the soaked almonds and fill your blender with fresh water, up to the top cup line (32 oz). The soaking water contains all the enzyme inhibitors, so you wouldn’t want to drink it. Use the wet almond meal for cookies—pages 150 & 156 in my The Spunky Coconut…
