I had a crazy “adventure” this week! I say crazy because it is December and I needed a gluten free sugar cone and quick! I found out on Monday that Sam’s kindergarten class was going to be making a snack for their winter celebration. The snack was going to be a Christmas tree made out […]

GF Dad here. I’m sure you’ve all figured out by now that everyone in our home is effectively banished from Mom’s kitchen during the holidays. There are some good reasons for this. For starters, the rest of us are boys, which means we make big messes, don’t measure ingredients very well, and always want to run […]
Gluten Free Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies
posted on December 15, 2009 by
This is the BEST gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe that I have ever come across. I kid you not, they are identical in taste to the classic gluten containing Toll House cookie! I found the recipe on Recipezaar about 6 months ago and they have held up perfectly each time I have made them. […]
Chocolate Fudge

Okay, this is nothing spectacular, fudge is fudge right? Well, I just wanted to offer some suggestions for those who may want to make this recipe (or one like it) but haven’t because of the dairy. I made this batch with dairy but I think there is a nifty way around it for dairy free […]
Gluten Free Rice “Krispie” Treats
posted on December 13, 2009 by
I don’t about you, but ever since going gluten-free, Rice Crispy Treats have just not been the same since Kellogg’s Rice Krispies “left the pantry.” While there are some really good GF Rice cereals out there, the famous marshmallow treat of my past just wasn’t the same, “something” seemed to be missing. I presume it […]
Gluten Free Cut-Out Sugar Cookies
posted on December 11, 2009 by
I have tried for years to find a gluten-free sugar cookie recipe that I could cut the dough into holiday shapes and bake them without the dough either tearing apart, or spreading so much in the oven that all 6 separate cookies merged into one giant undesirable blob. I found a wonderful recipe last year […]
Buckeye Candy
posted on December 9, 2009 by
I may live in New Mexico, but I hail from the great state of Ohio and in my heart I will always be a Buckeye. What is a Buckeye you ask? Other than the mascot for my Alma Mater, it also happens to be a poisonous nut from the state tree, the Buckeye Tree. So […]
Gluten-Free Margarita Cheesecake
posted on December 6, 2009 by
Also known as “Happy Cheesecake” around our house! This is not a dessert to be shared with the kiddos since it is a no-bake cheesecake and therefore the alcohol is not “cooked out,” but it is a great cheesecake to take to a holiday party, “mom’s night” gathering or even to share with your hubby […]
Gluten-Free Cranberry Apple Crisp
posted on December 2, 2009 by
If you’re not much of a pumpkin fan, this recipe is the perfect alternative to the traditional pumpkin pie. To make it extra special, go a la mode with some So Delicious Dairy-Free Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. It also makes for a sinful breakfast treat. 😀 Print Gluten-Free Cranberry Apple Crisp Recipe type: Dessert […]
Strawberry Jello Salad
posted on November 16, 2009 by
My mom makes this “salad” every year during the holidays. I have always liked it but somehow this salad became even more enticing the year my brother-in-law discovered it. To understand this, you need to know a little about Mike (yes, I am married to a Mike and my brother-in-law is named Mike, so for […]
