My favorite holiday memories are of having lots of family and friends over for big meals. I love doing the cooking, preparing holiday recipes, the noise and laughter in the house, and of course, eating the food. I've happily adapted most of my old recipes to gluten-free but I had one more challenge. I was missing crusty chewy  Italian bread that I could make into Crostini! I've always loved

I love everything that has a history and a tradition. Stories like Downton Abbey and recipes as old as time that have been passed down through the generations fascinate me. When I watch the show,  I can imagine sitting with the Countess in the library having tea and Mrs. Patmore's beautiful little cakes and scones. I decided to do some research to find a very old recipe for an English Scone

This is the easiest, healthiest, and seriously, the best gluten-free fried chicken cutlet that I've ever tasted! On my last shopping trip for groceries, I was amazed by how much meat has increased in price. It's crazy, isn't it? I decided if I have to pay high prices, I was going to start buying the cage-free, antibiotic-free chicken and I'm so glad that I finally made the leap. It's not easy to

 I could eat it out of the jar with a spoon! Thanks to my favorite Gluten-Free Tamari sauce from +San-J you can make incredible Teriyaki sauce at home for a fraction of the cost of store bought.  I double this recipe and keep it in the fridge for fast dinners. It will thicken even more in the fridge.  It's absolutely scrumptious on stir fry or use as a marinade! Disclosure: This post

These gluten-free Russian Tea Cakes or Wedding Cakes are my all-time favorite Christmas cookies and no one will ever know that they're gluten-free!   I make them with organic unsalted butter without rBST and cane sugar so that I'm feeding my friends and family the healthiest cookie that I can make.  Some powdered sugars have additives, so read your labels carefully to insure

Hello! Happy Summer! Are you planning a gluten-free vacation this year? Whether you travel far or just enjoy a staycation like we often do, here are some of my favorite gluten-free recipes and tips for traveling.  When we are out and about we pack a cooler with homemade goodies like gluten-free granola bars, muffins, string cheese, spicy cold chicken wings, fruit cups, and veggie pasta salad.

Save money and have fun making your own Gluten Free Biscotti!! I love so many things about biscotti.  It lasts longer than other cookies, it works really well with gluten-free flours, it's crunchy and satisfying and it has almost no fat!  I made up this recipe today because I was in the mood for the flavors of baklava without all the calories and it really hit the spot.  The orange, honey,

Low Carb Pizza Crust with Chicken & Roasted Veggies, gluten free, yeast free, xanthan free I'm cutting my carbs and that means no pizza, bread or grains until I get a little skinnier! Of course, the minute I cut something out of my diet I start craving it. That's why I've been working on this Low Carb Gluten Free Pizza Crust and I have to say, it rocks! It's free of grain, yeast, xanthan gum,

I love the sweet chewiness of a coconut macaroon but the sugar content in the commercial products was always too much for my tastes. Until I made these...They are divine and healthy!

Do you love Hot Fudge Sundaes? So does my family but we didn't want the sugar!  Now we're loving these healthy sugar-free and gluten-free sundaes and we can have them whenever we want!  For many years I tried to make us "healthy" sundaes with sugar-free ice cream and the sugar-free Hershey's syrup. I cringe when I think about the junk and chemicals that I fed my family, thinking that they

Would you like to make gorgeous gluten free Artisan bread? Today I'm going to show you how! We all know that as gluten-free bakers we can't just whip up a classic recipe easily. We need to use a gluten-free formula that will perform correctly, but we can learn from the ancient techniques, and with the right combination of whole flours, starches and binders, make a bread that is very close and

I make this wonderful sugar free and gluten free carrot cake each year for our Easter celebration and it always comes out moist and delicious. It's a healthy and nutritious low carb that takes hardly any time at all to make. The secret is in the raisin sauce. Normally, I don't like the taste of raisins or dates in my baked goods, but oh my, it works perfectly and tastes incredible. To top

Eating completely grain-free is one of my goals this year and let me tell you, it's not an easy one! I love muffins. Love love muffins. My brain still wants that firm muffin texture, you know what I mean? So loving a grain-free muffin was hard to do until I made these beauties. I used my popular Low Carb Pina Colada Muffin recipe with a few little changes. I upped the shredded coconut and

One of the things about living gluten-free is that while cruising the internet you see a dessert that you haven't had for years and think darn, I want that! Then, at least in my case, you have to make it. Amazingly, it's easier than you would think to make many classic gluten-full recipes into gluten-free.  Tiramisu, is an Italian dessert that appropriately means "pick me up" or "cheer me up

Is there anything more romantic than chocolate? It's way up on my list, especially with a glass of red wine. Hubby and I love ending a cozy dinner with a glass of wine and a bit of dark chocolate. After I made this gluten-free Flourless Dark Chocolate Cherry Cake recipe, we snuggled up with a glass of wine, a tiny slice of cake..and moaned.. It was so delicious that I think it needs a warning

Traditionally in our house, we make a meat sauce that cooks for hours on the stove. It requires a fair amount of work to get it all prepped, browned, and then I have to stir it off and on for hours, so it won't burn. I love cooking, but Sunday is a nice day to relax, so I wanted to see if I could make a great #Italian Sunday meal with a lot less work... I decided to make my Sunday

I received this product for a review but all opinions are my own. Christmas was wonderful, exhausting, and so exciting at our house this year. I hope yours was wonderful too. We decided with only a few weeks before the holidays to remodel the kitchen. We had a bad water leak and the cabinets were ruined. I can't imagine a worse time to do a remodel, but it was totally worth it! I love so many

I'm a huge fan of cooking shows. I'm always in awe and inspired by the beautiful food professional chefs make and the techniques that they use. It's so much fun to watch them cook and then I can go do it myself! What I love the most about watching talented chefs' work is that they describe the texture and taste of a finished product. Gnocchi is supposed to be light and fluffy and a

Living Low Carb is an important life choice for me. When you have Celiac, the last thing you want is more dietary restrictions, but I gained weight eating the high carbs in gluten-free flours and sugar, and my gut wasn't healing until I went grain-free and sugar-free. Finding the right balance of exercise, combined with a Low-Carb diet has made all the difference in my health and energy.

It's such a joy when the weather cools off and I can start baking bread again. Today my house is filled with the wonderful smells of fresh baked grain free bread and Progresso soup bubbling on the stove. Nothing is better than dipping warm bread into a big bowl of soup. Today I made Progresso Rich & Hearty New England Clam Chowder and guess what? It's #glutenfree! I grab my soup and bread,
