Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Princess) — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000

I decided to try making my own hummus as it's hard to find a good store bought hummus with healthy oils. This was super easy and pretty good. It was well worth the few minutes of time it took to make.

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1/2 cup roasted red peppers
3 tbs tahini
2 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

In a small food processor, add all ingredients. Use a spoon to lightly mix them together. Then blend until a smooth consistency.
I use an older, small Ninja food processor, similar to the one in this set.

Mixed Berry Cake

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Princess) — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 14:00:00 +0000

We like to eat fresh berries, but during the off season fresh berries don't always taste great and they are expensive, so I buy frozen fruit. Thawed frozen fruit is soggy, so I like it better when it's heated up or cooked into a dish. This recipe is a good, quick and easy way to use frozen fruit. Baking with fruit provides sweetness and helps cut down on the sugar in a recipe.

2 tbs ghee
2 tbs avocado oil
1/4 cup applesauce
3 tbs coconut sugar
2 tbs maple syrup
1 egg
3/4 cup coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup gluten free all purpose flour
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup mixed berries - I use frozen berries cinnamon sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray, like avocado oil.
In a large bowl, mix together the ghee, coconut oil, applesauce, coconut sugar and maple syrup. Add the egg, coconut milk, vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the gluten free all purpose flour, buckwheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add to the liquid mixture.
Stir in the berries and pour into the pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top.

Bake for 40 minutes.

Blueberry Donuts

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Princess) — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 13:00:00 +0000

I had to give up donuts years ago because of all of the sugar and bakeries around here don't make gluten free ones.
Turns out they are pretty easy to make yourself. I found a donut recipe on the King Arthur website and modified it a bit.
For me, these are a pretty good substitute for a real donut.

2 tablespoons (57g) butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 + 1/3 cup (320g) King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, soften the butter. Stir in the applesauce and coconut sugar. Add the egg and mix. Stir in the vanilla extract and coconut milk.
In a separate bowl, combine the gluten free flour, buckwheat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Add to the butter mixture and stir.
Stir in the blueberries.
Scoop into the donut pan.
Bake for 20 - 22 minutes. Cool for a few minutes and remove from donut pan.

Eat them as is, frosten or add a glaze of choice.
The King Arthur website has a few glaze recipes here.

This is a lower sugar, higher fiber version:

2 tablespoons avocado oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tbs coconut sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 + 1/3 cup (320g) King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 tbs chia seeds
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Slow Cooker Chicken Soup

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Princess) — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 13:00:00 +0000

This is my new go to chicken soup recipe. It's a nice break from the bean and lentil soups I usually make. It's also higher in protein than those.

2 medium chicken breast, diced
1/2 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 oz mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 cups chicken bone broth
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp dried parsley
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt

Add all ingredients to a slow cooker. Cook for 6 - 7 hours on low.

Almond Flour Pancakes For One

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Princess) — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Pancakes with an egg is one of my favorite breakfasts. Regular pancakes aren't blood sugar friendly, so I make myself healthier pancakes. Sundays are my pancake day, so I alternate this recipe with coconut flour pancakes. This is a good small batch recipe for one person.

1 TBS coconut oil or butter
1/4 cup almond flour
2 TBS ground flaxseed
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 cup milk of choice
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 TBS blueberries, optional

Add the coconut oil or butter to a skillet and preheat on low.
In a small bowl, add together the almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking soda, cinnamon. Add the milk, egg, vanilla and blueberries, if using. Stir and add the batter to the skillet. Turn the heat to medium low.
Cook for a few minutes until the batter starts to set. Flip and cook another few minutes until browned.
I like to serve this with butter spread on top, maple syrup, additional blueberries and an egg on the side.

Air Fryer Apple Fritters

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Princess) — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

1/2 cup gluten free flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed

Fold in the apples. Drop by tablespoon onto the air fryer pan or basket.
Spray with cooking spray and air fry for 8 minutes or until golden brown.

Gluten Free Dairy Free Zucchini Lasagna

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Princess) — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 14:00:00 +0000

I gave up one of my favorites, lasagna, when I gave up dairy. After giving goat cheese a try, I came up with this recipe. It's a really good substitute for regular lasagna. The goat cheese stands well on it's own in the place of the mixture of cheeses I used in regular lasagna.

1 lb ground beef or 1/2 lb ground beef + 1/2 pound ground turkey
1 cup diced pepperoni
1/2 jar tomato sauce of your choice
1/2 can crushed tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 oz goat cheese
3 TBS nutritional yeast
1 small can mushrooms or 1/2 package of fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium zucchini sliced into thin strips

For sprinkling:
oregano
parsley
black pepper

In a small slow cooker, add the ground beef/turkey, pepperoni, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, garlic, oregano, italian seasoning and black pepper.
Cook on low about 6 hours.
When ready to eat, preheat the oven to 375.
Slice the zucchini into strips.
In a 9x9 square baking pan or casserole dish, spread a small scoop of the meat mixture on the bottom. Lay 1/2 of the zucchini strips. Spread most of the meat mixture, about 2/3, over the zucchini. Sprinkle 2/3 of the goat cheese over the meat mixture. Sprinkle 2 TBS of the nutritional yeast over the top. Lay the rest of the zucchini on top of the cheese. Then add the rest of the meat mixture, goat cheese and nutritional yeast. Lightly sprinkle oregano, parsely and black pepper to taste over the top.
Bake covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 - 15 minutes until browned and bubbly.

Gluten Free Banana Bundt Cake

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Princess) — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 13:00:00 +0000

This was a good way to use up a few bananas instead of making bread or muffins. I put a simple glaze on it to make it more cake like, but it would be good with just butter or cinnamon sugar.

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened or ghee
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup coconut sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 mashed banana
3/4 cup of milk or coconut milk + 3/4 tbs white vinegar

1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the butter or ghee, applesauce and coconut sugar. Add the eggs and stir. Add the bananas, milk, sour cream or yogurt and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine the flours, flaxseed, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Add to the butter mixture and mix.
Add to the bundt pan and bake for 45 - 50 minutes. Let cool.

Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Princess) — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 13:00:00 +0000

Pull out about 3/4 cup (a little less than half) of the cookie dough and refrigerate. Dump the remaining dough into the prepared pan and press it down into a flat even layer.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully spread the jam on top of the cookie base. Take the reserved cookie dough from the fridge and crumble it over the top of the jam layer. Return to the oven and bake for 15-18 more minutes, until the topping is light golden brown.

This is a great, easy recipe to use up a bag of cranberries. Cranberries have a short season, so grab them when you see them. They freeze very well, so put them in the freezer if you won't be using them right away. I've even made this as my birthday cake by adding some frosting on top.

1/4 cup coconut sugar
