Hi, It’s Kelly’s husband Andrew here with a funny story for you. Putting away Christmas decorations reminded me of this. When we first went gluten-free we often bought almond nut crackers from the store (we don’t buy them these days because of the rice and butter). Maybe it was the Christmas of 2003 that Kelly…
Holidays
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…
Happy Thanksgiving
Vegan Pumpkin Pie
Despite the fact that it was 90-something degrees yesterday, and will be again today, I am in the mood for fall and pumpkin pie : ) I already have an Egg-free Pumpkin Pie made with gelatin, but I wanted a vegan version too, like my vegan pumpkin chai bars. So after reading this comment on…
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…
Gift Ideas #3: Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, dairy-free
This recipe makes six of these cute mini jars. I had trouble tying the bows, so I secured the ribbon to the back of the lid with a dap of hot glue—worked perfectly. I’m including recipe cards for you like I did with the granola. Since these jars are so much smaller I made the…
Gift Ideas #2: Homemade cookies
Who doesn’t love getting homemade cookies? 🙂 The girls and I baked some gluten-free gingerbread cookies, and got this cute jar at the Ace Hardware store in our town. You can also buy it on Amazon. I tied the jar with an orange ribbon and some glittery leaves from the craft store. They also have…
Dairy-Free Eggnog
I think you either love eggnog or you hate it. I have always LOVED it. But it didn’t love me back. I created this super rich DAIRY-FREE eggnog for absolutely selfish reasons, but I’m so happy to share it with you 🙂 If you need me, I’ll be sitting by the fire, slowly sipping this….
Gift Ideas #1: Homemade Chai Gluten-Free Granola
This Chai Granola, made with cinnamon and cardamom spices, is one of my most popular recipes. I make it with walnuts, but you can use almonds or a combination of nuts. The chia seed meal and applesauce create great clusters that you can break apart and eat as a snack or crumble for cereal. Soaking…
Banana Chocolate Pie with Gluten Free Pie Crust
I have been craving a pie with a pudding-like filling. The other night I looked at three ripe bananas in the fridge, and the light-bulb went on. I quickly began assembling my ingredients: Dates, bananas, raw cacao powder, vanilla, nuts for the crust. Zoe became very interested. “What are you doing, Mommy?!” she asked. “I’m…
