Gluten-Free Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

I saw a lot of carrot cake recipes last week leading up to Easter while I was planning to make one for yesterday, too. I’d forgotten it’s sort of an Eastery dessert. Easter is also the time I celebrate my birthday with my extended family and carrot cake has always been one of my favorite…

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

The last time I made chocolate peanut butter, I meant to use it for making cookies. But before I knew it the jar was licked clean and that was that. Oh well—tasty food is never a loss. But since I recently had a jar of dark chocolate dreams, I was determined to make cookies out…

Roasted Asparagus

It’s exciting to have fresh produce back on grocery store shelves. I was getting tired of looking at potatoes and squash, but now asparagus, berries, and avocado are all plump and on sale and it actually makes cooking seem less like a chore now. My favorite method of cooking is still to chuck things in…

Buttercream Shots In Chocolate Cups

This I know to be true: There are cake people and there are frosting people. And I most definitely am a frosting person. I’m guilty of taking a slice of cake and just eating the frosting. I’m also guilty of running my finger along the edge of the cake before it’s been cut into just…

Gluten-Free Lemon Cupcakes

I really love lemon desserts. Unfortunately they tend to disappear in the winter. Why is that? We still have lemons. I guess their flavor is too bright when it’s cold and you want something warm and comforting. But now it’s Spring and we can eat all the lemons we want. To make these cupcakes, I…

White Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Truffles

Gluten-free baking is a crapshoot. Before I came out with a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies that looked halfway decent, I had a big tray of cookies that spread too much and wouldn’t hold together. That’s what you get for trying new recipes. I couldn’t bring myself to throw away the crumbs since they tasted…

Gluten-Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I really love oatmeal raisin cookies. It always surprises me to learn that so many people hate them, and hate even more biting into one of them thinking it’s chocolate chip only to find out it’s oatmeal raisin. I actually think I prefer oatmeal raisin to chocolate chip any day; they’re just better. I love…

Cranberry Cashew Quinoa

It’s been a while since I posted a quinoa recipe. Not because I haven’t been eating it, but because I haven’t been doing anything interesting with it except covering it in store-bought sauce. At some point I forgot to go grocery shopping and had to get crafty and a recipe came out of it. When…

White Chocolate Thin Mints

After I made my first batch of gluten-free thin mints, I still had half the batter to bake and no chocolate chips left to coat them with. All I had was a white chocolate baker’s bar, so I used that. And I’m really happy I did. Typically I’m skeptical of white chocolate. I don’t like…

Monkey Trail Mix

If I remember anything from high school biology, it’s that monkeys are one of are closest relatives. We like bananas; they like bananas. We like peanuts; they probably like peanuts. We like chocolate; they’d love chocolate if anyone were weird enough to give chocolate to a monkey. Basically, monkeys have good taste in trail mix….
