For our wedding last March, I played around with different frosting/icing recipes. This recipe is fantastic tasting- not heavy, but decadent and very tasty! It is also easy to pipe. This is also a crusting buttercream. So, so good! As an example of the smooth piping and staying qualities, check out the cookie cake below.… Continue reading Delicious Vegan Buttercream Frosting

Lamb Meat balls with Hummus and Flat Bread
A few months ago, I found ground lamb on sale for less than the ground beef. Having absolutely no idea how to cook with it, I eagerly bought a pound. It stayed in the freezer until a couple days ago. I wanted the recipe to be special, no just substitute ground lamb for ground beef… Continue reading Lamb Meat balls with Hummus and Flat Bread
Herbed Pizza Crust: dairy, gluten, soy, egg, yeast free
Staying home most of the time means I have more opportunities to experiment with new meals I’ve been wanting to make. Instead of making healthy meals, though, I’ve been learning to make Belgium waffles, donuts, and biscuits. 😂 Tonight, we made homemade pizzas. I don’t have yeast in the house at the moment, so finding… Continue reading Herbed Pizza Crust: dairy, gluten, soy, egg, yeast free
Cross buns: gluten, dairy, egg, and yeast free
This year, I wanted to try new baking as part of our Easter dinner in lockdown with my husband. I have extra time, and it would help the day seem more celebratory if special never-before-have-I-made comfort food were involved. I decided to give cross buns a try. It seemed like a perfect Easter dessert to… Continue reading Cross buns: gluten, dairy, egg, and yeast free
Biscuit Rolls: gluten-free, yeast-free, & vegan
This recipe is derived from my basic scone recipe, and came from the desire to have some type of dinner roll without yeast. It’s not that I’m against yeast, even though I don’t react well to it, but more from the fact that I didn’t have any in the pantry. And like the rest of… Continue reading Biscuit Rolls: gluten-free, yeast-free, & vegan

Celebrating Through April
With quarantine in effect around the world, including my little corner, I’ve thought about how much light-heartedness and mirth were missing from daily routine... This got me to thinking, what other ways could I celebrate through the quarantine of April? Below, I’m listing my favorites I found. Happy April!
Belgium Waffle Recipe: gluten free and vegan
Self-quarantine just about guarantees lazy Saturday mornings. So we made Belgium waffles with our new maker today. I modified a new pancake recipe (see this post). Next time around I may try white rice flour instead of brown rice flour. Belgium Waffles 1 c. White rice flour1 c. Sweet Sorghum flour1 c. General Purpose Gluten… Continue reading Belgium Waffle Recipe: gluten free and vegan
Gluten-free Gingerbread Cookies
Gingerbread cookies ready to be iced. 😋 These cookies are gluten, dairy, egg, nut, and soy free. I used Bob's Red Mill 1-1 flour in the blue bag. Recipe here: https://www.vegannie.com/cookies/vegan-gingerbread-cookies/ Notes: I doubled recipe and used 1 part cane sugar, 1 part coconut sugar. Also added extra water until dough was smooth.
Almond Vanilla Cookie Bites
Today is National Cookie Day. Even though I've been stuck at home with strep today, when I was able to get off the couch after my third Christmas movie, I wanted to celebrate by experimenting with a grain-free cookie recipe. One of the Christmas movies might have centered around a bakery. Some things I learned:… Continue reading Almond Vanilla Cookie Bites
