The holidays are right around the corner, which has me thinking about pie 🙂 My dear friend, Becki, is the pie queen when it comes to holiday pies. Many years ago (Becki and I have been friends for over ten years) I marveled at all the pies she would make for Thanksgiving or Christmas. But…

Strawberry Mousse with Gluten Free Pie Crust
The other day I was reminiscing about going to the diner in college with my dear friend, Darah. I have such good memories of us driving there, belting out the lyrics to One Headlight by The Wallflowers or Into the Mystic by Van Morrison. At the diner in our small town just north of Philadelphia…

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…
Almond & Spice Custard Pie
Several days ago my friend sent me the link to this Bean Brulee Tart. (Am I getting better known for beans now than coconut? 😉 She said I could easily adapt this recipe, and she was right. I just changed the evaporated milk to coconut milk and the cup of white sugar to a third…

Gluten Free Peach Cobbler
I love peaches. Almost as much as I love nectarines. Usually we just eat them whole and raw, but this evening I decided to make a really simple gluten free peach cobbler. I had it all put together and in the oven in probably 15 minutes—it was so easy. I am eating it now, as…

Coconut Pie
My friend, Shirley, who you all know as the lovely GFE, posted a recipe for coconut pie yesterday. Umm… Coconut pie? Well, I just had to immediately try it, of course. And since my family does not tolerate casein or refined sugars, I had to make some substitutions. I made the pie in the afternoon,…
