I thought this would be a perfect week to share some of my favorite recipes on the blog that would also make fantastic homemade–and edible–gifts. In my younger years, I made almost all of my gifts myself (edible or otherwise). Of course, the fact that I was a student living in penury (I won’t say I […]

Flash in the Pan: No-Bake Caramel Cookie Dough Truffle Balls
[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s quick and easy–no fuss. I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] […]
Carob Coconut Cups
I know that many of you are already fans of Amy, the blogger behind the wildly popular Simply Sugar and Gluten Free (which recently got a facelift–check out the new look!). A few months ago, Amy published her first cookbook, Simply Sugar and Gluten Free, and her publisher kindly sent me a copy for review. For someone […]
SOS Carob: Carob Fudge
[No, this isn’t the fudge. But it does look darned tasty, doesn’t it?] Well, I had a nifty little “Flash in the Pan” post drawn up yesterday so I could share my new all-purpose GF flour mix, the one I used to make these coconut cupcakes, above. After writing the post, I went back to my kitchen […]
Raw Gingersnap Cookie Bon Bons
[Note: this recipe is now available in my cookbook, Naturally Sweet and Gluten-Free, along with over 100 more refined sugar-free, gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free treats!] [Grab a few of these babies and while away the afternoon. . . . photo credit for photo above: Celine Saki] Seriously, what more do you need than the word […]
Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Easter Eggs
[A lovely Easter treat for anyone, these Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Easter Eggs are vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, yeast-free, and low glycemic. Suitable for all stages (when made with stevia-only) on an anti-candida diet.] [Perhaps imperfect, but recognizably egg-like in shape, right?] One of my first paying jobs was working as a cashier […]
SOS Adzuki Beans: The Roundup
Here it is again, the start of another month. That means it is also the end of another SOS Kitchen Challenge (and I’m not foolin’!). 😉 In March, Kim and I featured none other than the delicious and nutritious adzuki bean. Our readers were inspired by both the sweet and savory possibilities, and delivered a multitude of […]
March SOS Kitchen Challenge: Ingredient Reveal!
Merry March to you! A new month brings a new SOS Kitchen Challenge, the monthly recipe event hosted by Kim and me celebrating vegan, sugar-free, natural recipes using a featured ingredient. Rather than focus on something obvious like oats, cabbage, or potatoes this month (the blogosphere loves St. Patrick’s Day!), we’ve gone in a different direction entirely. This […]
SOS Stevia: The Roundup
Thanks to everyone who submitted a stevia-based recipe for February’s SOS Kitchen Challenge! As always, we received a stellar collection of recipes. Here’s the “Sweet”: Kim and I were blown away by the creativity in the “sweet” section of the event this past month. While I have added every single recipe to my “to try” […]
Cocoa Camino Chocolate Bar Winners!
Well, it seems you folks love chocolate as much as I do! Thanks to everyone who entered my spontaneous little giveaway over the weekend. 🙂 While most of the entries for the Cocoa Camino bars requested coconut, there was enough variation that every flavor got some love. So without further ado, here are the four […]
