Celebrating life with (gluten free) food and littles on the California Coast
Ok so cranberry sauce is just fine but this brandied cranberry sauce sauce is served warm and it’s just spiced and citrusy enough to cut through the richness and bring out the best in your holiday turkey. Or, perhaps mix things up and serve it on duck breast or duck confit, top a pork tenderloin […]
This clementine cake is based on Nigella Lawson’s viral clementine cake which is based on Claudia Roden’s orange almond cake with a couple of fantastic upgrades. First I add butter even if I am not adding the cranberries. It gives just the right touch of richness. Second I add brandied cranberries – it is basically […]
This is a simple buttery sugar cookie recipe that works great for precise cutout shapes. I like to make a big batch of this dough and use it as a base for all my holiday favorites. It’s great for icebox cookies, jam drops, snow ball / Russian tea cookie/ Mexican wedding cookie. These cookies are […]
I love these green banana flour ” oatmeal” cookies. They are based on my favorite oatmeal cookies –https://www.seriouseats.com/easy-one-bowl-oatmeal-cookies-recipe and I was feeling really deprived in gluten free land (especially since I don’t really tolerate grain particularly oats well) but I decided to try them with my new love – green banana flour -it makes a […]
Green banana flour bread is easy and spectacular gluten free bread. Green banana flour has solved a whole bunch of ahem problems for me. I haven’t been eating nuts and grains these days and this paleo friendly bread fits the bill. There is some debate as to whether green banana flour is a super food. […]
I love coffee cake, particularly crumb coffee cake. The kind where buttery crumbly crisp topping makes up half the cake. It’s the thing I always used to want at Starbucks (though it’s not ever quite as good as it looks). I could put streusel topping on everything – banana bread, boring muffins. But the This […]
Need something green for your Thanksgiving plate, and a little zippy to round out all that richness. I think I’ve got an answer in this broccolini salad that goes beyond green beans. I’m always looking for a more exciting way to get green stuff on the table. Roasting is always a good start – caramelization […]
This creamy roasted red pepper dressing is one of my all time favorites. It is colorful on the plate and the palette. I love sherry vinegar. And garlic. This dressing is great on just about any plate of greens or a mixed salad. I also bring it along with a veggie platter. But my very […]
I love this almond cake. As a result, I use it for all cakes where I want something gluten free that rivals a traditional cake. It is so easy and delicious, I think even if I could go back to gluten, I don’t think I’d want to. Even with sugar, when I suffered from gestational […]
