Flourless Brownie Bites

  We’ve been eating Paleo lately. I know eating grain-free would seem to imply that desserts, like brownies, would be impossible. But where there is a will, there… Read More »

Easy Maple Syrup Candied Pecans (or walnuts)

Trying to eat grain free

I’ve been procrastinating posting about our Paleo diet because I just didn’t know what to say. Today’s post won’t include a recipe, but don’t fret, tomorrow’s post will!… Read More »

Peach Blueberry Pie

I had not intention of making a pie for Pi Day, because honestly I find the whole thing kind of absurd. But everywhere where I went Pi, Pi, Pi. It finally got to me and I just had to make pie. I am guessing the founders of Pi Day wanted to inspire me to do math, but baking involves math, so I guess it’s a win-win situation.

I have never made a peach blueberry pie before, but I really wanted a fruit pie and being March in the Pacific Northwest there aren’t a lot of fresh fruit options. And I didn’t want to go the store for apples. I only had 5 cups of frozen peaches so I threw in frozen blueberries to make the up remaining couple of cups. My family was a bit skeptical of my fruit combo, but it was a winner! We couldn’t even wait for it to cool completely to cut into it. Delicious.

Allergy Friendly Pie Crust

Today’s post is the best tasting, egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free pie crust I have tried. It is a little hard to handle, but you can easily press the dough back together. It really does taste like a traditional pie crust. Of course, if you can eat butter, you could use butter in place of my shortening/butter substitute.

Coconut Tapioca Pudding

I was flipping through one of my cookbooks and I spotted a recipe for Coconut Tapioca Pudding. It looked so good I bought all the ingredients, but when I actually went to make the recipe it seemed unnecessarily complicated. I decided to make a much simpler version, based on a Thai Kitchen recipe.

The result is very sweet, sticky, Coconut Tapioca Pudding.

Perfect Pecan Brownies

I know there are a lot of gluten-free recipes out there that promise to deliver thick, fudgy and delicious brownies. But, somehow they fall short. This is one gluten-free brownie recipe that really does deliver!

Cold Noodle Salad with Red Curry Chicken

Today marks the first day of the 15-day celebration of Chinese New Year, the Year of the Snake! It’s the perfect time to gather friends and family and prepare some delicious Asian cuisine.

Soft Ginger Cookies

We stopped into a local coffee roaster and I couldn’t resist having a giant soft ginger cookie. Being the only wheat eating member of my family, I rarely eat a “regular” cookie. It was one of those giant bakery style cookies that is the size of a small pie. But they call it one cookies, so who am I to argue.

Well, it was a really great tasting cookie. And although I am a huge fan of ginger snap cookies, there was nothing snappy about the texture; but rather it was soft and moist. I knew I had to come up with a gluten-free version my family could enjoy.
