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!
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

Homemade Cornbread: gluten, dairy, egg, soy, nut free
My goal for this Thanksgiving was to learn to make allergy-friendly cornbread dressing. The first step was to learn to make the cornbread first. I really like this recipe. It has a bread-like texture because of added flours, but also that nice cornmeal taste and bit of crunch. 😋 This recipe is definitely a keeper!… Continue reading Homemade Cornbread: gluten, dairy, egg, soy, nut free
Sausage and Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash
I think fall may be here for real... the air is cooler, skies are true October blue, and it even smells like fall. Since fall is as synonymous with comfort food as it is with colorful leaves, I wanted to try some new comfort food recipes that were healthier than the usual desserts (although I… Continue reading Sausage and Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash
Banana Bread: gluten, dairy, egg, nut, and soy free
One of the hardest gluten-egg-dairy free things for me to bake is bread. My breads with xanthum gum mixes come out ... strange...too stretchy.... can't bake, won't bake... if you've had it happen to you, you know what I mean. Also, I don't like the taste of the xanthum gum free mixes I've tried (I'm… Continue reading Banana Bread: gluten, dairy, egg, nut, and soy free
