Brownies
Brownies I’ve owned two of Marcel Desaulniers’s cookbooks, Death by Chocolate and Deserts to Die For, for ages- they date back to my pre-diagnosis days. I gave them a fresh look a few years ago, and discovered that lots of his recipes are free of flour as written! Who needs flour with that much eggs,…

Yellow Cupcakes
Yellow Cupcakes These cupcakes were one of my first (successful!) gluten free baking attempts, and they are a great place for anyone to start. I found the recipe on A Gluten Free Guide (http://aglutenfreeguide.com/celebrate-love-with-a-gluten-free-cupcake.html), and it follows in the great tradition of doctored cake mixes.

Sugar Cookies and Snickerdoodles If you keep the gluten free flours on hand, these cookies come together quickly anytime the warm-cookies-NOW urge strikes. I have actually found that I tend to throw these cookies together a little too quickly… on two separate occasions, I have forgotten the xantham gum and the baking soda and powder.…

Pico de Gallo
I’m not a fan of cilantro, and I really dislike raw tomatoes, so I was surprised by how much I like this pico de gallo. It tastes so fresh, and the lime juice makes it nice and zippy. It’s great on tortilla chips, or dump it on fish tacos and chicken fajitas. Half of a…

Chocolate Walnut Cookies
Chocolate-Walnut Cookies This is François Payard’s recipe for a flour-less, butter-less cookie that has a delicious fudgy interior and a beautiful shiny exterior. The dough is not going to look like typical cookie dough. In fact, the first time my mother made this recipe, she thought the batter was such a sad prospect for cookies…

French Onion Dip – No Soup Packets Required!
French Onion Dip- No soup packets required! I have included quantities for the measurement-inclined, but this recipe is easy to play with. You can caramelize shallots with the onions, add a clove of finely diced garlic with the Worcestershire sauce, or leave out the cayenne if you don’t want a little kick. This dip tastes…
