  • Chocolate Icing

    Chocolate Icing

    Chocolate Icing This chocolate icing recipe is based on the Pioneer Woman’s (http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/desserts/yellow-cupcakes-with-sticky-chocolate-icing/) sticky chocolate icing. I scaled it up a bit since the original recipe left odd amounts of sweetened condensed milk languishing in my fridge. This batch makes enough icing to frost two batches of yellow cupcakes (recipe here). This stuff freezes well,…

  • Weeknight Chicken Noodle Soup

    Weeknight Chicken Noodle Soup

    Weeknight Chicken Noodle Soup Around our house, this soup is the first line of defense against colds, headaches, and feeling under the weather. As soon as sniffles are heard, we gather the ingredients to get this soup going. I consider this a “weeknight” chicken soup because the broth is not based on a homemade chicken…

  • Sugar Cookies and Snickerdoodles

    Sugar Cookies and Snickerdoodles

    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.

  • Chocolate Walnut Cookies

    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!

    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…

  • Peanut Butter Cookies

    Peanut Butter Cookies

    Peanut Butter Cookies These peanut butter cookies are easy to make and don’t require any specialty flours. If you are making them for the Celiac in your life, and don’t keep a gluten free kitchen, I would recommend using fresh jars of peanut butter, and as always make sure all other ingredients are gluten free…
