Ever make a boo-boo in the kitchen that you devoured and didn’t even realize it was a “boo boo” until you were cleaning up? Well, that’s what I did today. I have been wanting some jalapeño and cheddar bread lately, but I haven’t played around much with the flour combinations I wanted to try. Thus [...]
GF Biscuits or why you should love your GF Flour Mix
November 2, 2007 30 Comments
These biscuits were divine. A bit heavier than non-GF biscuits, but I anticipated that. Maybe 7 years of GF eating have taught me not to expect the identical consistency as my memory believes there should be. I don’t know. I do know that I have found equally flavorful and delicious foods with a bit of [...]
GF: Sweet Potato & Apple Coffee Cake
October 27, 2007 6 Comments
Who knew Costco sold sweet potatoes! OH! I’m in trouble now! Actually, it’s just going to give me a chance to try Mary Frances’s sweet potato fries (OMG) and a few other sweet potato dishes. We make some to-die-for candied/brandied sweet potatoes around here, but I’m trying to branch out. I’ve also been craving a [...]
GF: Plantain Empanadas with Queso Fresco

Oh… sometimes you just have to try a new recipe. And… well.. sometimes you make it once, take a picture for your blog, and then spend the next week dreaming about the next time you get to make it. It was that tasty. Next time, I think I’ll try baking these empanadas – but dang… [...]
GF: Ginger, Apple and Cream Cheese Tart

Tonight we attended a potluck to welcome the foreign exchange students to our community. These events are always a tad, well… awkward for me. The foreign exchange kids all make something from their home countries to share and they are left wondering why the woman who encouraged them to cook won’t take a taste of [...]
GF: Sweet Potato & Ginger Muffins
September 29, 2007 7 Comments
Oh, how I love sweet potatoes. Apparently, I love them so much that when I made sweet potatoes (cut up with brown sugar and butter) for dinner last night, I made enough for a family of six. There are only two of us. Yeap. We have leftovers, that’s for sure! But that just brings me [...]
GF Oat & Honey Bread

Ohhhh… My. While this bread recipe could use a few tweaks, my mouth and tummy are quite content with the results. This will make perfect sandwiches for my 6 minute lunches. (Although, I AM hoping to increase that luxurious amount of time to a grand 15 or 20 by the end of the week.) I’m [...]
Gluten Free Apple Muffin
September 3, 2007 6 Comments
It’s fall. I’m a teacher. And I live in Washington State. Need I say more? Yes, it’s time for apples again. While we do have an apple tree in our yard (two of them, actually), we haven’t really done much cooking with those. Just a lot of picking up, chasing (as they roll down the [...]
GF: Molasses Bread!
August 28, 2007 20 Comments
Oh my! I cannot believe that I made it! I have craved this dense bread for years. I really don’t even remember the first time I tasted Molasses Bread – but I do know this – I’m loving the fact that I made a gluten-free version tonight! No, this bread is not your light and [...]
GF Breadsticks: Baking for Bette
August 24, 2007 8 Comments
I’ve been thinking about it. Maybe I should have called this post “Baking for Hagrid, umm… I mean, Hagman”. Not because Ms. Hagman resembled Hagrid at all, but because I made these yummy bread sticks large enough to feed a GIANT! They are humungous! Let me be honest. I don’t bake much from [...]
GF: Turkey Tower Sandwiches for Two

A girlfriend and I used to meet for tea at this great little tea house in Chicago. It was like a little oasis in the middle of a busy part of town. It was called “Villa Villekulla” after Pippi Longstocking‘s house. At night they had an elegant menu and superb jazz pianists or other musicians. [...]
Gluten Free Monkey Bread with Brown Sugar and Pecans
August 15, 2007 26 Comments
Way back in the ancient days of eating gluten, life was different. My roommate at the time (fellow newbie teacher) baked bread as a stress reliever. I could determine the stress load by the number of loaves on the counter when I got home. Our tiny apartment always smelled good. We loved baking and cooking. [...]
