This is the second recipe I’ve tried for Blueberry Baked Oatmeal. There was nothing wrong with the first one, but this one was amazing: Blueberry Baked Oatmeal. The recipe gives you options and I went with the one that was both gluten-free and dairy-free. Great recipe. You get crispy edges, tender middle, not TOO sweet, […]

German Chocolate Cake with Coconut Pecan Frosting
More of a recipe review than a full blog post this time. It was my first time to attempt a German Chocolate Cake and I quickly realized that you end up using every baking apparatus in your kitchen. I used both a stand mixer and a hand mixer. The process also has many steps from adding […]
Berry Hand Pies
The original recipe for these uses a star-shaped cookie cutter to make star pies for the 4th of July: 4th of July Star Shaped Berry Hand Pies. I didn’t have a big enough star cookie cutter so went with round. Less exciting but still tasty. The crust is easy to make and is pretty close to […]
Peach Crisp
Nothing better than ripe, fresh peaches in season. Some of the ones in this recipe came right off the tree in my parents’ backyard. This fast, easy recipe is perfect for making a simple, very homemade tasting dessert on a summer night: Paleo Peach Crisp. It is dairy-free and gluten-free. I made a couple changes […]
Grain-Free Carrot Pecan Muffins
This is an adaptation of this great gluten-free/dairy-free blueberry muffin recipe: Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins. Using almond flour rather than any grains and lots of eggs gives these a custardy texture, but with enough firmness to hold together. I’m becoming a big fan of grain-free baked goods without too much added sweetener. These use a little […]
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Blueberry Muffins
Love this great, fast recipe with just a couple of tweaks: Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins. They’re made with almond flour, so are totally grain-free. The first change I made was to add 1/2 cup of a nut milk (used almond-coconut blend, unsweetened). The first time I made these, they turned out very dry and crumbling, like scones, […]
Homemade Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
Lots of benefits to making your own granola bars. If you have a kid eating them in bulk, this will probably save some money. Also, making them yourself allows you to control the sugar content. I used this recipe: Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars. These turned out more crispy and cookie-like than chewy, but good. […]
Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Warning: this is a departure from what I’ve been posting. Not gluten-free or dairy-free. Just regular good old muffins with lots of butter and the usual flour. I’m flying blind when I cook with wheat flour and cow’s milk products because I can’t taste the end product. My young taster doesn’t like lemon or blueberries […]
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
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 […]
