Zoe doesn’t remember ever eating things like wheat and dairy Mac-n-Cheese. She was only 2 years old when she went on the diet. But she does remember the time when we used to buy gluten-free packaged cookies. One of her favorites was ginger snaps. During Christmas of 2010 we created gluten free ginger bread cookies,…

Paleo Snickerdoodles
(photos and recipe courtesy of Slim Palate) I’m in the “third trimester” of my fourth cookbook, feeling like, “I’m never doing this again!” (again). Then the book will be born, and I will be so elated that I will forget it all, and be ready to have another. As I’m sure you’ve noticed I haven’t…
Christmas Cucidati (Italian fig cookies)
Hi everybody. It’s me Andrew, Kelly’s husband. I made a recipe for the blog. With holidays coming up I’ve been thinking about Christmases past. My family moved to Pennsylvania when I was a little kid, but we drove back to Schenectady, NY for a week every Christmas. My Grandpa Corty and Grandma Margo’s house was…
Cookie Dough Bites & The Healthy Gluten-Free Life cookbook review
Valentine’s Day is just days away and I wanted to give my loved ones something sweet, but easy to make. I received a review copy of The Healthy Gluten-Free Life, and it inspired me to make cookie dough bites. Although I’ve already made two recipes from this cookbook and loved them, I decided to use…
Mint Chocolate Gluten-free Biscotti
As promised, here are the substitutions to the biscotti that I mentioned I was going to try. Above is my piece, sitting beside my morning decaf chai. I’m still torn though. I really can’t choose a favorite biscotti flavor. I love them all 🙂 Mint Chocolate Gluten-free Biscotti (gluten-free, grain-free, egg-free) Add to a small…
Almond & Nutmeg Gluten-Free Biscotti
I didn’t think much about biscotti since going gluten-free many moons ago. That is until I became friends with Elana, and she let me taste her amazing biscotti. I think she had three different kinds she was working on. They were all phenomenal. Then the other night after dinner Andy and I got to craving…
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…
Coconut Dreams (Gluten Free Cookies)
A few days ago I posted my variation of Scandinavian Thumbprint Cookies, and many of you tried them and love them 🙂 I wanted to try another recipe from the cookbook which inspired the thumbprint cookies, Swedish Cakes and Cookies. The second recipe comes from the same page as the first, and is called Coconut…
Scandinavian Thumbprint Cookies
You may remember my Santa Lucia post last December, where we made saffron buns. I mentioned how I’m from Danish heritage, and that we love to incorporate Scandinavian traditions at Christmas. This book, Swedish Cakes and Cookies, is one of my favorite cookbooks, despite the fact that there are only about three gluten-free recipes in…
Christmas Cookies (gluten-free)
We’re in full-swing Christmas spirit here, and one of our favorite ways to celebrate is by making cookies together 🙂 These stars are my gluten-free chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips. We floured the dough lightly, rolled it out, and used two sizes of star cookie cutters. Then we melted dairy-free chocolate chips on the lowest…
