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…

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
Don’t these mock mashed potatoes look amazing? They are =) I got the idea from my friend, Elana. You can see her recipe here. Although I do eat white potatoes once in a while, I don’t like to eat them constantly. But to have “mashed potatoes” more often sounds like a good idea to me….
Kerstin’s Almond Squares (gluten-free, casein-free)
If you follow me on the Spunky Coconut Facebook Page then you know that I was trying to make a Scandinavian jelly roll this morning. Well, technically, at 9:30PM last night, and again this morning. They didn’t work, but maybe I’ll figure them out later 😀 In the meantime, I switched gears to tackle Kerstin’s…
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…
Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie, egg free, dairy free
Last night I was like a kid on Christmas Eve. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t stop thinking about the egg-free no-bake pumpkin pie I had mentioned I was making on the Spunky Coconut Facebook Page . Would it turn out? Would it taste good? I have to tell you I have been trying to make…
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…
gluten-free Gingerbread House
I thought you might like to see what Zoe, Ashley and I have been working on. This is our finished gluten-free, sugar-free, salt dough gingerbread house. =] For Part 1 of the gluten-free, sugar-free, salt dough gingerbread house, click here. For Part 2 of the gluten-free, sugar-free, salt dough gingerbread house, click here. For the…
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…
