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.

Only 13 days until Christmas! Holiday baking is happening! This week The Baking Beauties will be posting cookie recipes everyday to help get you going in the kitchen.

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

All-in-One Holiday Bundt Cake
Autumn is just such a beautiful time of year. The air is cooler & crisp. The trees turn beautiful colours that you can only enjoy for a few weeks (or until a wind storm comes along and blows them all off the trees). I also love all the flavours that are in season this time of year. The abundance of apples, cranberries, pumpkin and pecans. Each and every one of those things whispers “Autumn!”, but this cake screams it! This cake is created from a recipe from Dorie Greenspan’s “Baking From my Home to Yours” cookbook. I was flipping through … Continue reading

Gluten Free Plum Clafouti
Plum Clafouti is something I’ve never heard of before, or even ever tried. But, I when I bought some prune plums and wasn’t sure what to do with them, a quick internet search lead me to this dessert. I wasn’t sure if it was the way it was “supposed” to be, but the kids and my husband all enjoyed it so much, and went back for seconds, and had to be cut off from thirds, that I thought I’d share it with you. I hope you enjoy it too! ShareTweetbc89ab5ae32e8cce09b27f1108f28cb9Share via email

Sugar and Spice Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
By now, you may know that I love all things pumpkin. I love muffins, cheesecake, waffles, rolls, and of course, pie! But, when you roast your own pumpkin, you also have pumpkin seeds that you can roast and season. When we made a Jack-o-lantern, pulling out the seeds and cleaning them so we can roast them is a must. We all love them. Normally, I just roast them plain, but today I’m going to show you a fun, flavourful way to kick-up your pumpkin seeds. In other pumpkin news, Kinnikinnick has released their Pumpkin Spice Donut! In addition … Continue reading

Easy to Make: Pumpkin Pie Spice
With it now officially being Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere (and at Starbucks), I know that a lot of people will be doing a lot of baking with pumpkin. One of the ingredients that very often accompanies pumpkin is pumpkin pie spice. But, don’t fret, you don’t need to run out and buy an expensive little tin of pumpkin pie spice, you can easily make your own from spices that you may already have in your pantry at home! The smells of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and cloves is enough to warm your house by 5 degrees on a chilly … Continue reading

Mocha Fudge Ripple Ice Cream
My husband eats his first spoon of this ice cream. “Mmm… oh, that’s good.” Eats another spoonful. “Seriously, this is good stuff.” Yet another spoonful disappears. “This is the best ice cream you’ve ever made.” Yes, even this Baking Beauty has a way of still surprising her husband after 13 years of marriage. This ice cream is a prime example of that. And he was right. This ice cream is nothing like any of the others I’ve ever made. This ice cream is super rich, smooth & silky, even after being in the freezer for a week (how did that … Continue reading
