Sugar Cookie Mini- Muffins

I was going for doughnuts. And I got them, but the flax seed spots don't look very doughnut-y. However, the taste is delicious! As a mini-muffin the spots are not as noticeable. When I have more free time, I'll try these without the flax seed. This is a variation on the chocolate doughnuts (click here).… Continue reading Sugar Cookie Mini- Muffins

Coconut-Vanilla Icing

After coming up with a delicious gluten-free vanilla cake (see post here), I needed an equally delicious dairy and egg free icing to go on it. This is it. And I don't even like the taste of coconut all that much. I sure do with this icing though. Maybe it's all the sugar. Seriously, it's… Continue reading Coconut-Vanilla Icing

Vanilla Blueberry Scone Recipe: gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-freedom

Today is a snow day! In keeping with snow day tradition, I slept in and then made my way to the kitchen for coffee and morning baking. Last snow day, I made pancakes (recipe here). Today, however, I wanted something a little lighter and not as fried. Scones. These blueberry-vanilla scones are every bit as… Continue reading Vanilla Blueberry Scone Recipe: gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-freedom

(Not Another) Pancake Post

Yesterday, I tweaked my recipe for dairy-gluten-egg-soy free pancakes. I've had trouble with egg-free pancakes.  They taste fine, but it's hard to add nuts and fruit to them, they crumble easily, are held together by coconut oil and a prayer, and have a wet texture, even when fully cooked.  Well... yesterday's tweaking gave me the… Continue reading (Not Another) Pancake Post

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

The sweet potato is an amazing food.  I've developed a new appreciation for it over the past year. (I hear they can even be made into doughnuts!) Anyway, here is my recipe for oven roasted sweet potatoes:   Sweet potatoes are much stouter than their russet potato cousins.  I've found that cutting the sweet potato… Continue reading Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Pancakes II

This recipe is very similar to the other gluten-free, dairy-free recipe I posted here.  However, in an attempt to stick as close to my elimination diet as I can (and still eat pancakes, of course), I've left out the eggs... and added a few more things. So, here is the gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free version!… Continue reading Pancakes II

Curry-less Curry Sauce

This recipe was an attempt to make an AIP-friendly sauce for hot pot. So far, I've used this sauce to cook bok choy, nappa cabbage, shrimp, lamb, and sweet potatoes.  All of these have tasted wonderful.  This sauce is as close to curry as I've been able to get for a while. See, I love… Continue reading Curry-less Curry Sauce

Saturday Morning Pancakes

Blueberry Pancake HappinessPancakes are one of my favorite foods.  When I was little, my parents made pancakes for us every weekend: round pancakes, bear pancakes, turtle pancakes, initial-letter pancakes.  And they were delicious! These days, gluten, soy, sugar, and dairy aren't my friends, but  I really don't like the idea of giving up my pancakes… Continue reading Saturday Morning Pancakes
