This summer we had our usual houseboat vacation and decided to be adventurous and try a brand new recipe each day. It was an adventure in cooking as there is only a three burner cookstove and a barbecue to cook on. We tried all kinds of things – baking bread, making cookies and some special…
It was tuna casserole that helped us to discover that our little girl couldn’t handle gluten. It is one of those comfort foods that I have tried to recreate several different ways but for a long time I simply chose to go without because no milk substitute I tried was really that good. Then I…
You can imagine my excitement when I found these. They were exactly what I was looking for – delicious, moist, easy and even refined sugar free. Up until I found this recipe so many gluten free recipes that I found seemed to be full of sugar but not this one. It has plenty of sweetness…
This is one of those simple homemade soups that you can’t wait to eat. There’s nothing strange in it (unless you think kidney beans in soup is a bit wierd) and it’s delicious. There aren’t many premade broths that are gluten free but Campbell’s vegetable broth is one of them. 1 Tablespoon olive oil 2…
I wish I could remember where I found this recipe. Mike still loves his cream of chicken soup based chicken curry recipe best but since I can’t have that any more this is delicious. Yes, it’s a bit more work but in the end I’m pretty sure it’s healthier and we can all eat it.…
I have to say that the first time I tried kasha (roasted buckwheat groats) I was not impressed. I didn’t know what I was going to do with them. I ate them because I didn’t want to waste them but it was pretty rough. The rest of them sat in my cupboard for several months…
This recipe is amazing. It makes a great snack. It makes a great breakfast. I love it sprinkled on yogourt and over fruit. It packs well and satisfies hunger and that sweet tooth craving we all get. The only downfalls are that it is a bit expensive and it’s very addicting. It’s worse than potato…
This recipe was my first attempt at baking anything gluten free. I’d tried a few loaves of bread and been terribly disappointed but this recipe gave me hope that edible gluten-free things existed. These delicious gingerbread loaves definitely made my holiday brighter that year and they continue to tempt me to have just one more.…
In my mind there’s just something about Christmas and gingerbread. They go together. My mother-in-law is always on the lookout for new recipes for us to try and she found this one in Candadian Living (an old 2008 magazine). We found some great cookie cutters for Christmas so we decided to give this gingerbread cookie…
I love this recipe for so many reasons. First, it doesn’t require xanthan gum or a trillion different expensive or hard to find flours. Buckwheat and tapioca are pretty easy to find. If you can’t find tapioca you can replace it with cornstarch or another starch. The texture is a little bit different but still…
Apple crisp mixes the delicious taste of apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and crumble topping to make quick and easy apple pie in a pan. With as little as 30 minutes of prep time, you can make a dessert that your family will ask for again and again. 4-6 medium apples (We used Royal Gala, a…
1 cup sorghum flour 1 cup quinoa flakes 1/4 cup buckwheat flour 1 Tablespoon potato starch 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 cup chunky peanut butter 1 egg or egg substitute 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup agave Whisk together dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients, mixing until well…
1/2 cup coconut oil 1/2 cup bakers cocoa 3/4 cup white sugar 1/2 cup coconut milk 1 tsp vanilla Melt the coconut oil. Stir in the cocoa. Add the sugar and coconut milk and cook over low heat stirring constantly until warm and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve with your…
This is one of the recipes I discovered early on that became an easy addition to dinner. My little girl loves dried fruit and to get to have raisins and apricots for dinner is a great treat. It goes very well with fish or chicken. Unfortunately it’s not terribly photogenic so you’ll have to trust…
I was introduced to this recipe almost 20 years ago when babysitting for a very special family. I was asked to make suppers for them which was a bit intimidating as I didn’t have much of a sense of taste or smell at the time. They lived to survive my cooking and I learned some…
