There are six ingredients. You will have peanut butter cookies in 15 minutes (that’s prep time AND baking time). What could go wrong? Basically, nothing. This recipe via PBS is just about foolproof. So fast, and so good: Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies. Great recipe, so I will just direct you to the link rather than […]

Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
This is a modified version of the Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins my family likes. All I did was replace the pumpkin with mashed banana, and reduce the spices to just cinnamon. Enjoy! 1 cup rice flour 1 1/4 cups all purpose gluten free baking mix 1/2 cup flax meal 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown […]
White Sweet Potato Fries
New Jersey White sweet potatoes are somewhat of a rarity, at least in my experience. I’ve found them in two stores, ever, so I buy them whenever I see them in stock. Why? They seem to be the perfect blend of white potato and sweet potato. They are a variety of sweet potato, but taste […]
Taco Sloppy Joes
Made these at the request of our 4-year-old. One of his current favorite foods is “spicy meat” — ground beef sautéed with onions and salsa. I find the “spicy meat” to be a very versatile thing to have around. I like it as a main/protein in lower carb meals with some vegetable sides… see below […]
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
This recipe is a gluten-free, cow’s milk-free adaptation of my husband and son’s favorite muffins, Matt’s Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins. Changing the recipe involved using almond milk instead of cow’s milk, goat milk yogurt instead of cow’s milk, gluten-free flours, and gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate chips. For a banana version of this recipe, see Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate […]
Bacon, Kale, Goat Cheese Frittaffles
My first attempt at Frittaffles left me frustrated with a crumbling pile of half scorched frittata littering the waffle iron. You can see what went wrong here: Bacon Spinach Goat Cheese Frittaffles. There is no way I was going to let the frittaffles win. So I’m back with a successful second attempt. Using an oven-safe non-stick pan […]
Blueberry Banana Flax Pancakes
This is a great way to sneak some fiber into kid-friendly food. I used our ever-reliable Gluten Free Banana Pancakes as a base, using almond milk to make the recipe dairy-free. In this variation, I substituted 1/4 cup flax meal for 1/4 cup of the rice flour called for in the original recipe. This is a […]
Coconut Flour Carrot Cake with Goat Cheese Frosting
Food and Wine did well with this recipe: Coconut Flour Carrot Cake. I made this cake at Easter to provide a satisfying dessert that would work for adults and kids with gluten and dairy restrictions. It’s hard to tell a kid they can’t have the usual Easter chocolate, cupcakes, etc. without offering an enticing alternative. This was a hit, […]
Bacon Spinach Goat Cheese Frittaffles
If your frittaffles stick and fall apart like mine did, you can stack them into an impressive tower like this. Here’s what they’re supposed to look like. Frittata + Waffle = Frittaffle. The concept is intriguing, the ingredients enticing, but… but. So many ways things can go wrong. This was one of the most frustrating recipes […]
Cauliflower Pizza Crust Part Deux: White Pizza with Pesto
This time the crust went much better than when I made Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Homemade Sauce because I actually had the necessary supplies and followed the recipe. Funny how that works. This time the crust held together well enough to be picked up and had a great texture. Using parchment paper instead of oiled […]
