Gluten Free Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake (Dairy Free)

Published on by Kim58 Comments

Last week my friend, Lisa,  over at Good Grief Cook, posted an interesting article.  She addressed the issue of whether or not internet recipes are well tested before publication.  After a friend of hers had tried a blogger’s recipe for lemon cake that was riddled with issues, her “failure” turned into a mission for my friend.  She worked to create the perfect lemon cake, one that was tested through and through.  You can check out her results.

Gluten Free Double Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Published on by Kim3 Comments

When eggs were part of my cookie recipes, my kids were always quite cautious about indulging in raw cookie dough.  I’m not sure where this timidity came from…certainly not from me.  I have always felt it my duty, call it a “service to my family”,  to test out the dough.   Worry about raw eggs?  Not me.  I figured if Rocky could down raw eggs, then surely I could swipe some cookie dough and survive unscathed.

Gluten Free Chocolate Crumb Cheesecake Pie

I’ve never been a big fan of desserts.  I do love, I mean love, cookies, but desserts such as cakes, pies, and pastries, really do little for me.

However, (isn’t there almost always ‘however’), I do have a weakness for cheesecake bars.  If you’ve never tried any one of the gazillion variations on cheesecake bars, well, you must.  The base crust is topped with a simple cheesecake filling, then finished with crumbs….huge, sweet, delicious crumbs.  Everything is baked to perfection, then chilled.  For me, these are the perfect dessert.

Last week I shared my favorite recipe for Banana Bread.  It was a delicious loaf studded with chunks of banana and dark chocolate.

After seeing the recipe on my Facebook page, a friend of mine sent a little message in reply to my post:  “We need dairy free recipes.”  It was a simple call for help that I was more than happy to respond to.  So, I took my basic recipe for banana bread and made a few switch-a-roos.

Gluten Free & Egg Free Brownies (Using Aquafaba)

Published on by Kim6 Comments

A few months ago I stumbled upon a recipe using aquafaba as an egg replacement.  I was intrigued as to what aquafaba actually was.  With a little investigation I discovered that aquafaba refers to the water found in a can of garbanzo beans.

My intrigue quickly turned to nausea.

I tucked the idea of using aquafaba far away…until this week.
