It’s Mardi Gras ~ Time for Gluten-Free King Cake
When you mention the words “Mardi Gras” most people instantly think of New Orleans. Although I have never traveled to New Orleans, it is a place that I think many people, myself included, have dreamed of visiting. Although the thought of the overcrowding on Bourbon Street, at night, during Mardi Gras is enough to put me in a cold sweat, being able to visit the culturally rich area is something I would still love to do one day. There are many culturally rich foods associated with Mardi Gras, and one of those is the King Cake. Having lived in southern … Continue reading

Gluten Free Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes
Believe it or not, next week is already the middle of February. Not only does that mean we are half way to March, but it also means that it is Valentine’s Day. We don’t do much here to celebrate Valentine’s, whatever we do, is to create memories for the kids. We have the red and pink heart shaped vinyl window stickers, a few shiny hearts hanging around, and we usually try for some sort of “Valentines-y” supper on the 14th, complete with a decorated table. Sometimes it’s a fancy supper with a “fancy-to us” meal, which my husband enjoys, or … Continue reading

If you have tried either the Thin & Crisp Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Soft Ginger Cookies, or Pumpkin Snickerdoodles, please leave a comment saying how they worked for you, and if you made any changes to the recipe.

Soft Gluten-Free Ginger Cookies
Cookie baking continues! Today’s recipe is for soft gluten-free ginger cookies. These cookies are a favorite of my families, and I like that because they are quick, easy & cheap to make. All good things in my books. These cookies do taste better the second day, I think all spicy cookies taste better when they have had a chance to sit a bit and let the spices do their thing.

Gluten Free Caramel Apple Trifle
When my Mom or I are asked to bring dessert to a gathering of friends or family, we enjoy bringing a trifle. Usually I stick to a Fresh Fruit Trifle, using a variety of in season fruit, or a sinfully-delicious Chocolate-Chocolate Trifle. However, after seeing a version of this Caramel Apple Trifle on Pinterest, I decided to put my own spin on it and make this perfectly Autumn trifle instead. So delicious! Like, still-tasty-after-3-days delicious. This recipe makes a lot, I would say it would be enough to serve approximately 30 people. But, it is so easy to put together, … Continue reading

Autumn Baked Oatmeal
When the cooler temperatures hit us, I like to change up our breakfasts. Instead of cereal and cold milk, it is nice to have a nice warm, stick-to-your-ribs breakfast. Baked oatmeal fits the bill when it comes to that. If you or your family does not like cooked oatmeal, be sure to give baked oatmeal a try, it has a completely different texture. This baked oatmeal includes all the wonderful flavours of Fall. Pumpkin, maple syrup, pecans, apples, cranberries and spices. I love that it can be baked the day before and just reheated in the microwave for a few … Continue reading
