Chocolate Brownies

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

These low sugar, gluten free brownies put any "diet" dessert to shame.  One of the unique things about baking with coconut flour is how low carb it is.  Because the flour contributes almost no carbs you can afford to use some real sugar.  My taste buds are like drug ...

Broiled Peaches

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

These are simplicity itself.  I love these in the summer and so will you.  You can actually do them on the BBQ after you have cooked your meal but  I do them in the oven.  If you choose to do them on the BBQ melt the butter and brush it ...

Mango Ice Cream

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

You don't need an ice cream maker for this fast dessert.  As you sit down to eat, take the mango out of the freezer and let it thaw on the counter.  15 minutes should do the trick, since you want the mango to be mostly frozen in order to get ...

Coffee Ice Cream

Monday, December 24th, 2007

My personal philosophy is that if you wish to eat sweets you should eat only the best you can get. When it comes to ice cream the best is what you can make in your own kitchen. Making ice cream is fun, not very hard and it can ...

Chocolate Drops

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

 Tastes like candy, but good for you.  Not a gourmet quality treat, notice there is no waiting over the stove with candy thermometer.  But a tasty way to get more coconut in your diet and the diet of your young ones.  Often times, children with food restrictions feel left out ...

Christmas Spritz

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

The perfect Christmas cookie! Unbelievably low carb at 1 gram per cookie, gluten free and easy. I love spritz and am hard to please. These are dainty, and light and undistinguishable from wheat cookies. I don't know why anyone wouldn't just make these instead. I think ...

Best Chocolate Cake Yet

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

I've been working on chocolate cake recipes for a while, trying to find one that would satisfy the biggest sugar and wheat junkies around. I wanted to lower the sugar content without lowering myself to using Splenda. I wanted the cake to be a powerful kind of chocolate experience, ...

Chocolate Zuchini Muffins

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

This are very moist and even my picky youngest child likes them. If you grate the zucchini on the finest grater, it totally disappears in the mix. I won't tell... Ingredients: 1/2 cup melted butter 1/4 cup applesauce 1/4 cup honey 2 eggs 1 4-5 inch zucchini grated fine, squeezed free of its juice 1/4 ...
