Everyone Deserves Cookies for the Holidays!

by Ricki Heller 13 Comments

Do you remember what it felt like when you were young, when it seemed everyone else had something you didn’t (but you wished you did)?  As a gradeschooler, I watched from the sidelines as my friends zoomed around the neighborhood on their new banana-seat bicycles (my parents told me they couldn’t afford one).  Then at age 14, I […]

Carob Buckwheat Pancakes with Almonds and Carob Chips (Sugar-Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Gluten Free, Grain-Free, Xanthan-Free)

by Ricki Heller 67 Comments

[Stacked high, topped with homemade apricot jam and plumberry sauce] Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?  When she was a puppy, I would have sworn that Elsie had no vocal chords. She never made a peep until she was about six months old. No barking, no whining, no howling, no growling–nothing.  (In retrospect, I’m […]

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 Refrigerator Cookies

by Ricki Heller 48 Comments

I hope everyone had (or is still having) a great Mother’s Day today!  Behold what I found on the mantelpiece this morning: Yep, for the first time ever, this year I received a card from The Girls.  I guess that hinting  cajoling  begging  having temper tantrums being a loving partner all year really paid off! 😉 […]

by Ricki Heller 112 Comments

[Whipped “buttercream” variation. Go ahead. . . lick the beaters.] When we were kids, my sisters and I used to crowd round my mother every time she baked something (coffee cake, chocolate chip cookies, cheesecake, or her legendary chiffon cake) just so we could vie for who’d get to lick the beaters, or bowl, or spoon (this […]

This Bark is Worth its Bite

Chocolate Nut Bark

by Ricki Heller 43 Comments

According to the media, we should all be making homemade gifts this year, what with the economy as bad as it is.  True, many of us may find ourselves frugally filling jars with mom’s granola recipe; mixing up homemade hot chocolate and bagging it with ribbons; placing shortbread and gingersnaps toe to toe in cellophane-lined […]
