Mini Chocolate Banana Ice Cream Cakes – A Gluten-Free, Healthier Dessert
Making memories. That’s a big part of parenting some times. Stashing the good times away in a memory bank somewhere, to draw on when you need them. And you need them a lot when you kids hit their teens – just sayin’ 😉 What’s a better way to make great memories than to bake something […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. Gluten-Free, Too.
Who doesn’t love peanut butter and chocolate? They go together like bacon and eggs. Like wine and cheese. Like gin and tonic. Like champagne and me. You get the picture. This weekend we had a little celebration for my baby’s 16th. (My baby…is…16…heart palpitations…deep breaths…) It was a mini-birthday thing. Just me, her, and the […]
Healthy Gluten-Free Chick Pea Peanut Butter Cookies
This post is a personal challenge for me. I am trying to keep it short. I can be very wordy. Just ask my girls. When I get going on one of my lectures, their eyes will eventually roll back in their heads. My dog agrees. He’ll let me lecture him for a bit, being the […]
Best Ever Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Banana Bread
I’ve been tinkering around with this recipe lately, really looking for that holy grail of banana bread greatness and I think I hit it. Out-of-the-park. It’s actually good enough that I considered dropping the ‘gluten-free’ but then I thought it wouldn’t be fair to all those gluten-seekers who really need to find those great recipe […]
Really Really Guilt-Free Ice Cream
Yes I’m that girl. The one that spends way too much time trolling through supermarket aisles, picking up new products and reading through the labels. It’s true no one wants to food shop with me. It’s always a way-too-long winded experience for most but once in a while it pays off in a big big […]
My Secret Addiction - Gluten-Free Whoopie Pies
You want these whoopie pies. Trust me. Whoever bakes these whoopie pies doesn’t need gluten. They probably use things like magic and fairy dust instead of gluten. They certainly don’t use any of those ingredients that make gluten-free baked goods taste like sawdust and weigh as much as bricks. They come in 2 flavours – […]
The Great Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Challenge
Strange things are afoot in the house these days. We have somehow become a gluten-free family. By choice. Sort of. Actually, it was kind of an accident. This all started back in November when I decided I wanted to start eating clean. Or at least cleaner. Since I am usually surrounded by 2 teens and […]
Healthier Brownies
So healthy, you could practically eat these for breakfast. Well, almost. Although, at only 60 calories a pop, I might just do that tomorrow morning. They are gluten-free, lower-glycemic index, intensely-flavoured, and incredibly delicious. My sister suggested this recipe as part of my search for gluten-free treats that meet the criteria of our current family […]
Flourless Gluten-Free Fat-Free Chocolate Fudge Cookies
Practically ingredient-free, actually. And fairly time-free, while we’re at it. But definitely not taste-free. These cookies are based on a recipe I found over at King Arthur Flour. I threw them together in about 3 minutes yesterday and baked them up in 8. Which means that in about 11 minutes you can be biting into […]
