Pumpkin-Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is two years in the making. I’ve tried modifying several recipes to fit out diet, but none have been as good as these. I posted these last June, which were delicious, but not extremely pretty. I think this new recipe is both! Plus? PUMPKIN! These can be made ahead of time too and … Read more
(Easy, Gluten-Free) Danishes
After a long, and extremely hot summer, we’re slowly breaking out the leggings, jeans, and sweaters, and turning on the oven for baked goods again once in awhile. This was our first day of (home) school breakfast this year. I modified this recipe to better suit our diet, which worked out well. They were just … Read more
Grain-Free Cupcakes and Frosting
I made these cupcakes about a year ago for the first time, and recently revisited the recipe, which was as good as I had remembered. Why I never posted it here is beyond me, because they are sinful and delicious, and worth sharing! Grain-free Chocolate Cupcakes: 1/2 cup coconut flour 1 tbs almond flour 1/2 … Read more
Almost Samoas Cookies
These little babies are packed with protein and very yummy. With a layer of caramel, they would be almost a dead-ringer for the Samoas cookies that the scouts sell (and incidentally, my favorites!) Very easy to make too. Almost-Samoas Cookies: (makes about 40) INGREDIENTS: 2 cups oatmeal, soaked overnight in filtered water and 1 tbs … Read more
Chocolate-filled Peanut Butter Cookies
I tested these cookies out on Goose’s friend who is over this evening for a sleepover, and she gave them rave reviews. This is important because she doesn’t have any dietary restrictions, so I think I got an honest opinion. At any rate, between her, Goose, and Lil Pea, there wasn’t a crumb left between … Read more
Chocolate Pudding
Exhausted tonight and planning meal with family for Rosh Hashana this weekend, but wanted to share this. Goose and I created it tonight when she had a spur of the moment craving for dessert after dinner. Chocolate Pudding: 1 heaping cup raw cashews 1/4 cup coconut oil 2 tbs honey 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract … Read more
Chocolate Biscotti
Just as I am toying with the idea of giving up coffee for awhile, I make biscotti. Well, I have a good excuse though! I was reading another gluten-free blog this morning and the author is writing a cookbook. She is in the stage of asking people to test her recipes, and one of them … Read more
Twig’s Birthday Party
Cupcakes. Candles. Family. An impromptu Amazon purchase of a superhero Wii game. I think it was a good birthday for Twig… For dinner we had chicken tacos w/corn taco shells (gluten-free from Trader Joe’s) and a bit of plain goat yogurt in place of the sour cream we would normally like to have. I liked … Read more
Goose in the kitchen
Goose helped me in the kitchen today. When we cook, she says we are “Pinches and Nibbles’ Bakery.” We worked hard and had fun + got a lot done. First we had to figure out what to make for Twig’s b-day tomorrow, which seemed overwhelming until I thought about raw food and the fact that … Read more
