Delicious gluten-free, vegan cookies with soy-free option! 😋
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. After… Continue reading Cinnamon Blueberry Bread: gluten, soy, egg, dairy free
Rainy day baking happiness Recipe: https://justwhatweeat.com/cinnamon-rolls-gluten-free-vegan-refined-sugar-free-yeast-free/ Notes: I subbed sorghum flour for millet and used half coconut sugar half unrefined cane sugar (because I ran out of millet flour and coconut sugar). I used almond milk instead of coconut milk for the same reason. Also, use an 8x8, rather than 9x13 pan.
My new favorite "indulge" snack comes from The Beaming Baker (click for recipe). 7 ingredients only (I added a bit of salt and a little extra oil) and free of all the things that make my tummy hurt, just enough sweetness, and filling with the knowledge that they are actually healthy! Tips: Add salt to… Continue reading No bake cookie dough bites
This is a spin on last week's Monday Meal (click here for Zucchini Noodles and Rice). They say that necessity is the mother of invention. This is no less true than trying to cook for a road trip because of food intolerances. Happily, shredded butternut squash was on sale at Kroger last week, so I… Continue reading Monday Meals: Butternut Squash and Spinach Rice Bowl
The chill of winter is almost out of the air here... although I'm told that there is a cold snap coming back. Pot roast is one of my favorite dishes. For me, it's comfort food that's perfect for chasing away a cold, grey day. Also, the flavors are deep and full, which is something I… Continue reading Monday Meals: Spin on Pot Roast
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
This new quick meal idea is definitely a keeper! Ingredients: One package shredded butternut squash (mine was one sale for 1.50... otherwise they can be pricy) Cumin Olive oil Salt 1 package frozen brussel sprouts Directions: Sauté butternut squash in olive oil. Add salt and cumin to taste. Start off at medium heat until the… Continue reading Monday Meals: Butternut Squash and Brussel Sprouts
It's no secret that I've been doing a lot of baking lately... well, the last 4 months. This past week, I thought more about the flour I've been using. Four years ago, I was very strict about the flour I used. No blends, no tapioca, no potato flour, no bean flour. Oh, and I definitely… Continue reading Oat Breakfast Muffin
