These cardamom rice cereal treats are a Persian twist on a classic kid-approved gluten-free snack. The brown butter in this recipe creates a subtle nuttiness that is emphasized by the crunch of toasted almonds. Add in some golden raisins and a good dose of cardamom and these treats might have you hiding away some [...]

Simple to make, these rice paper wraps contain Asian-inspired flavors like a hoisin-lime glazed salmon with a habanero mustard brussels sprouts slaw. And for an extra kick, add some sriracha! I should be in Mexico right now. Technically I should be coming home from Mexico. After a hectic day at the bakery on Saturday we rushed to [...]

This bundt cake is a sneaker. Topped with a cloud of silky meringue frosting and toasted coconut, this bundt cake might resemble your run-of-the-mill cake. But this cake also has a secret. It’s gluten-free and made with azuki beans! Azuki beans are common in Asian cuisines, have a deep maroon color, and pleasant sweetness. You [...]

But grain free? Well we had to do a bit of research to see what qualifies. It turns out that in order to make something completely grain free, [...]

Souffles have easily become a favorite food group. Well at least a mash-up of food groups. These contain protein (eggs, bacon), dairy (milk, cheese), veggies (onion), and even fruit (apples). Bonus points: it’s totally gluten-free! When we found out my youngest sister was malnourished, I thought these souffles would be the perfect way for her to [...]
This past weekend I attended the Nourished Food Blogger Conference followed by the Gluten-free Expo in Chicago. I do want to post a recap on the conference, but to be honest, I’m still reeling from the amount of information they provided. The expo on the other hand had some noticeable standouts so I wanted to take [...]
This month I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a CSA-style organic fruit and veggie delivery. When I shared my excitement on twitter, I received a warning: You will receive leeks. Lots and lots of leeks. Leeks? Really? I hadn’t cooked with leeks a whole lot but thought, hey, they look like over-sized scallions. [...]

At the bakery one of the things we are known for are our gluten-free vegan brownies. But contrary to what seems to be the consensus, these brownies are not in the dense chewy category. Rather our brownies are light, moist, and deeply chocolate. Some might argue they are actually little chocolate cakes, and I’m [...]

Oh my gosh, you guys! Today was super fun! And it wasn’t just because of these: Caramel and coconut topped shortbread cookies that are dipped and then drizzled with chocolate! Aka…. gluten-free samoas. Or these: Chocolate mint cookies dipped in chocolate ganache… and served extra cold. Aka… gluten-free thin mints. In reality, while those cookies were all [...]
