We’re testing a new Rosh Hashanah Challah (Gluten Free, Dairy Free) from the Gluten Free Canteen. Thing 1 was not feeling well at school today, so he’s home now and asked to make Challah for Rosh Hashanah. This used to be so easy. I had my tried-and-true recipe. Since having to go sans gluten, things have gotten trickier and I’ve yet to find a recipe that comes close to Zarro’s in NYC. Honestly, I’ve yet to find...

I’m still stuck working on a monster sweater design for an upcoming book, but until that’s done, there is little other knitting going on in my life. As a consequence, I’m sharing a nifty recipe. If you aren’t glutenally challenged, but have a friend who is, they may have you canonized if you do this for them: Gluten Free Grapenuts! I’ve adapted “Mother’s Grape Nuts” from the orange (it makes a...

This morning was the first day of school for the boys and an important one for sure. New state. New school. No friends yet. So, what’s a mom do? Ask them what they want for breakfast!

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Vegan Apple Doughnuts | Serious Eats : Recipes Oh, how I recall the glorious smells of the Autumnal Apple Harvest. Oh how I’ve wept for losing out on donuts. I absolutely understand I won’t suddenly find a pick-your-own-apples place that’s awesome enough to harbor gluten-free apple cider donuts, but perhaps now I can make myself a batch to take with, in some sort of insulated container or something, and...

So we’re living with our current house guest, Irene, and so far she’s only JUST started to be noisy. As a preemptive food strike, I started making a stunning shepherd’s pie from the best recipe EVER! I think I’ve written about it before but it bears repeating. Kell’s Pub in Portland makes this and has generously put the stunningly tasty recipe online for free...

I visited my lovely cousin’s new-ish blog and discovered a great recipe for zucchini bread—one that had been tailored to be better on the sugar/insulin reaction side of things. I was inspired and made it gluten-free by using 2 cups of King Arthur Gluten-free All Purpose Flour (bless them) and a teaspoon of Xanthan Gum… I may have added a dash more baking powder too. SUCCESS! I had to use a bundt pan as I’ve not found the...
