This recipe is from Home Ec 101. Heather says they are simple to make and they are indeed. They come together easily, much like the GF-Zing doughnut muffins. They have a mild, sweet flavour and the vanilla is nice. What I didn’t expect was the texture. These have an incredibly [...]

This is another recipe from Cookie Madness. Anna says it is from a restaurant called Z-Tejas and she found it at Pepperfool through Google. Chocolate and peppers go quite well together. I was looking for a recipe to make for my husband’s birthday and since he loves pies, this seemed perfect. The pie crust recipe [...]

This recipe is from Orangette. Molly says it was inspired by Columbia City Bakery, Seattle WA and adapted from Kathleen Stewart of the Downtown Bakery and Creamery, Healdsburg CA. The second recipe is from Gluten-Free Zing. They say it is adapted from a recipe by Bev Lieven of Milwaukee Coeliac-Sprue Crew. [...]

This recipe is from Feast by Nigella Lawson. I found it at Not Quite Nigella. The idea of so much chocolate in one cake was instantly appealing to me. Not Quite Nigella says the chocolate chips fell to the bottom of her cake. I used a trick of coating the chocolate [...]

This recipe is from Culinary Concoctions by Peabody. Peabody says she adapted it from several sources: Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Herme by Dorie Greenspan, Baking at Home With the Culinary Institute of America, and The French Pastry Chef. It has been on my list for quite some time and I am [...]

This is another recipe from Cookie Madness. Anna made hers with blackberries, but I used frozen peaches and dried cranberries. I used butter in my pie crust, but if you replaced the butter in the crust and filling, then you could make this casein free and vegan. Pies, especially the crust, tend [...]

I found the recipe for this incredible bread at A Gluten-Free Guide. Catherine says it is from Mireille at the Delphi Forums. When I saw the recipe I knew I had to try it, as it seems so often with gluten-free bread you get good texture/no taste or good taste/bad texture. [...]

I found the recipe for this cake on What’s For Lunch Honey? Meeta says she developed this recipe from her pantry when she was craving chocolate and her son was craving chocolate cake. It is not the richest chocolate cake I have ever had but it is really good. It [...]

I found this recipe at Free to Eat. Lynn, who is such an admirable example of joy brimming over everywhere making the best of everything, says she found the recipe at Amanda’s Own and adapted it. I must say, though I am not casein, corn, soya, yeast, sulfite, egg, nut, seed, citrus, [...]
