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
(Whole Food) Spooky Snacks
These were super easy to make, and my kids thought they were hilarious instead of really spooky. They’re winners because they actually ate them! See for yourself. I made these snacks in about 10 minutes. The carrots take the longest, but had I done them in assembly-line fashion rather than each individual one at a … Read more
Soft Molasses Cookies
I used to love these cookies before we went gluten-free. I was in the mood to bake cookies today, and thought I would try my hand at them. I found a recipe card that I wrote for soft molasses cookies in 1995, back when I was collecting my very first recipes from library books and … Read more

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

These are fast to make- about 10 minutes hands-on time from start to finish…. just gather ingredients, stir together, spread on parchment or silpat … Read more
Cereal
I’ve been craving cereal. I have never been a big cereal eater, so I’m not sure why this is, but in any case, I have been making do for a few days with toasted pecans and sliced banana in milk. I wanted to try to make actual cereal though, but not the peanut butter grain-free … Read more
Granola without grains
The quest for sweetness without sugar continues. Don’t get me wrong, everything tastes much sweeter now that we aren’t having any sugar, but sometimes you just want that little bit of sweet in the morning with breakfast or after dinner. The problems are: how to get the sweetness without using much, if any, sweetener and … Read more
