frozen hot chocolate

published 1 month ago

Life has shifted into high gear this summer. As a result, some weeks have passed since my last post. My mother-in-law, whom I adore, was here from South Africa for almost a month. With her she brought updates of how our family and friends are doing as well as stories about the World Cup and  [...]

I love pumpkin. So, when I heard that it was the theme for this months  Go Ahead Honey recipe round-up (hosted by Heather over at Life, Gluten Free) I was thrilled.  Typically, I use pumpkin for muffins or bread. But, this inspired me to challenge myself,  to make something completely out of my comfort zone [...]

I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for a while. It is inspired by a recipe in the The Wheat-Free Cook: Gluten-Free Recipes for Everyone by Jaqueline Mallorca.

I considered adding in some additional summer fruits but in the end settled for strawberries and blackberries  – if you [...]

Last weekend, we were out and about on a family excursion. We stopped at Cold Stone Creamery after I had read an article stating they carried a pretty big selection of gluten free ice creams. We rarely buy ice cream from a shop – so it was a huge treat. My quest was also to locate a casein free [...]

This recipe is inspired by the New York Times original recipe as well as the stunning  photos of Smitten Kitchen‘s adaptation. Delish. I’m not a huge sweet person. But, every once in a while, I like to enjoy a little piece of heaven on the weekend for our “Sunday morning family breakfast extravanganza.”  It’s been years since I’ve made something [...]
