It's probably no secret that scones are my favorite thing to bake. I still had leftover coconut milk holiday nog and wondered how this recipe might taste with that change. These scones have an overall vanilla taste, with just the right amount of sweetness and hint of cinnamon and nutmeg- perfect for a holiday brunch.… Continue reading Holiday Nog Scones: eggnog scones that are gluten, dairy, egg, soy, and nut free

Post- Christmas Pancakes: Holiday Nog Edition
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I ended up with quite a bit of leftover holiday nog. I love the taste of holiday nog - whether it tastes like eggnog or not, I wouldn't know- but two cartons is a bit much for one person to drink. Naturally my mind turned to baking... and breakfast… Continue reading Post- Christmas Pancakes: Holiday Nog Edition

Happily, shredded butternut squash was on sale at Kroger last week, so I… Continue reading Monday Meals: Butternut Squash and Spinach Rice Bowl
Monday Meal: Zucchini Noodles
1 cup zucchini noodles sautéed in 1tsp. grapeseed oil and 1-2 Tbs tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce). Allow noodles to caramelize a bit for extra flavor. (10-15 min) Serve on top of 1/2 cup cooked white rice. Delicious as a side dish or a quick lunch!

Rainy Day Pancakes
Rainy mornings call for pancakes. I wanted to experiment with different flours... trying to get in more fiber, iron, and protein while reducing carbs. After comparing flours, I decided to go with Almond (low carb, good fiber and iron, high fat), oat, and sweet sorghum (higher carb, low fat, good fiber and iron). Compared to...… Continue reading Rainy Day Pancakes
