Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
I have never done as much baking with pumpkin as I have this year. We grew our own pumpkins this past summer. Two varieties; the jack-o-lantern pumpkins and the pie pumpkins. We had a lot of fun with the jack-o-lantern pumpkins, and make some pretty amazing Halloween decorations, as well as donated a number of them to my daughter’s school for their fall celebration. The pie pumpkins, however, are proving to be a great addition to the garden as well. It is very easy to bake up the pumpkin, scoop it out, and use it the way you would canned … Continue reading

Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread
Today is the last recipe for our “Gluten-Free Bread Baking Week”. I hope that this has helped you to become a wee bit more aware of celiac disease, and to learn what types of products have gluten in them. It is really amazing how many products do, and how the convenience of so many canned & store bought items is all of the sudden gone. The next thing you know, you’re ordering $50 worth of gluten-free oats online, just to get the free shipping. I wonder how much room $50 worth of oats will take up?? I guess I will … Continue reading

Gluten-Free Cornbread Muffins
Welcome to day 2 of our Gluten-Free Bread Baking week! October is Celiac Awareness Month, and I’m just doing my little part to help out the GF community, and make those who do not have celiac disease understand it more. Today’s recipe is for a rockin’ cornbread muffin. These muffins were light & tender, perfect slathered with a wee bit of butter or honey. I adapted the original recipe a bit, but like I’ve said in the past, I have a hard time not changing a recipe. You might be a celiac if… …it takes you 4 hours … Continue reading

Gluten-Free Carrot Muffins/Cake
Today is my baby’s 3rd birthday. Wow, where have the last 3 years gone. He was born 3 years ago, early in the morning, just before the doctor had to leave for a weekend-long conference (phew!). He was also born on his due date, which I understand is a very odd thing to happen. He is a busy little boy, and definitely entering his 3rd year, as everything we say is met with a cute little “Why?”. Well, it’s cute the first few times it is asked, and we have found that the easiest way to end the “Why” line … Continue reading

Gluten-Free Saskatoon Muffins
Here in southern Manitoba, I don’t even know if we can grow actual blueberries. I know we have people that grow Saskatoons though, and to me, the two can be used interchangeably. The Saskatoon berry is smaller than the blueberry, and more purple in colour. We use them the same way you would use blueberries. This sweet, compact little berry was the perfect thing to put in muffins. However, being newly gluten free, I’ve been looking for new muffins. These ones are good, they were fairly simple & easy to make. The muffins did not have any floury, powdery after … Continue reading
