pumpkin custard | gluten free recipes made easy

February 22, 2011

I know spring is coming, and pumpkin is technically a fall flavor…but I found myself craving a thick custard with cinnamon.  And so, it was attempted. I basically made a sugar free, GF/CF version of a crustless pumpkin pie.  I used Truvia because I find it easier than stevia as far as baking volume, but [...]

February 12, 2011

Looking for a special Valentine’s Day dessert for your sweetie?  Try this.  If you like Nutella, you will love it. I had some hazelnuts that have been taking up space in my freezer for about a year.  I figured it was time to get rid of them.  To be quite honest, I never really understood [...]

almond flour pizza | gluten free recipes made easy

February 5, 2011

So I’m attempting to go grain-free and sugar-free for a while to expedite the adrenal healing process. *Fingers crossed.* I sure hope it’s worth it!  I don’t know what’s worse…not being able to mix up a batch of muffins or not eat them.  Ok, nevermind, I know.  It’s the mixing part!  I can’t explain, it’s [...]

chocolate peanut butter cheesecake | gluten free made easy

January 31, 2011

Wowzers.  This is a winner.  It was two years ago when I first made it, and somehow I think it got even better.  This breaks all my dairy-free rules.  But, as my husband only has one birthday a year, I say: who cares?  Live a little.  It’s all his favorite things in one: peanut butter, [...]

vegan chocolate cake | gluten free recipes made easy

January 26, 2011

So one of my favorite “accidents” is this chocolate kahlua cake that resulted from a childhood craving.  My mom used to make it (not gluten free, at the time) and out of nowhere, 20 years later, I wanted it.  Bad.  And gluten free.  However, all the recipes I could find called for a cake mix. [...]

gluten free oatmeal raspberry bars | gluten free recipes made easy

January 10, 2011

I feel like it’s been forever since my last post.  The holidays stifled all creative work, mostly because were were out of town, and therefore away from my trusted business partner (my oven).  However, it was very refreshing and I wouldn’t have traded my time with family for anything! After all the scrambling at catching [...]

gluten free pumpkin-sage ravioli | gluten free recipes made easy

December 6, 2010

I have made gluten free ravioli from scratch and swore I would never make it again.  It stuck to my countertops and took about 3 hours.  So-not-worth-it. But, all you “never-say-nevers:”  you’re right.  I wanted to try again.  I came up with this super quick and easy way to make ravioli.  It literally took me [...]

gluten free spaghetti squash pie | gluten free made easy

December 4, 2010

I love spaghetti squash after it is baked, drizzled with a little coconut oil and sprinkled with Himalayan sea salt & Pecorino.  Perfect side dish.  Super easy. Tonight I had planned for spaghetti and meatballs: the husbands fav.  However, I just don’t really like rice noodles.  I’ll eat them, sure, but they’re just too slippery [...]

gluten free Thanksgiving stuffing | gluten free made easy

November 20, 2010

Stuffing is perhaps the most important part of the Thanksgiving meal, in my opinion. That’s why it was ridiculously important for me to find a REAL substitute for this integral part of our holiday tradition. After all, a wild rice pilaf just does not compare… I found this great Poultry Stuffing Bread recipe in The [...]

gluten free, dairy-free chicken potpie | gluten free made easy

October 28, 2010

I’ve been taking a little bit of pride in my frugality lately.  Usually I’m an expert penny pincher…EXCEPT when it comes to food.  But lately, I’ve been doing pretty well there, too!  I’ve managed to slash our grocery bill so that it is about 1/3 of what it used to be.  All it took was [...]
