Hostess-Style Chocolate Cupcakes
Chocolate Cream-Filled Cupcakes Whew! I just finished my first year teaching at a wonderful school. There is one thing I’ve heard talking to teachers: it doesn’t matter if are teaching second grade or twelfth grade, public or private school – the first year is a doozie.

Gingerbread
Gingerbread This gingerbread is made with fresh ginger. I adapted Maxie’s supper club’s fresh ginger cake recipe so it is gluten-free. You may be wondering if it is worth it to mince up all that ginger – I say yes! The fresh ginger flavor is incredible. If you buy more ginger than you need, finish…

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.
