Gluten Free Stuffing

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

I LOVE stuffing. I decided to keep the best parts of it and toss out the squishy parts that my family can't eat. Big holiday dinners are heavy enough without bread stuffing, don't you think? If you have favorite doo-dads you love in your stuffing, toss them ...

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 ...

Simple Sugar Plums

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

I got this idea from a friend about 10 years ago and make them at Christmas time.  Most sugar plum recipes call for lots of ingredients, these call for just 3.  Be careful serving them to young children, they might not realize there is a almond inside and could choke. Ingredients: pitted ...

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 ...

Gluten Free Chicken Gravy

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

This gravy is easy to make and extra nutritious, especially if you start with organic chickens.  Roast 2 chickens and let them rest 10-15 minutes or so standing up in the roasting pan.  You don't want to miss out on any of that good juice, so catch it all.  Remove ...

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, ...

Baked Butternut

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Many people think they don't like squash, until they try mine. The secret? Cook it until it's really done. The skin should blacken in places. When testing for doneness the skinny part should pierce with no resistance. The bulbous part cooks way faster because it ...

Roast Pork

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

This is the yummiest Pork recipe and the easiest. You can't go wrong! Do enjoy the pleasures of eating luscious pork cuts like shoulder and Boston butt, they are so much tastier than leaner cuts. A tied roast looks prettier than an untied one, but they both taste ...
