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  [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-frozen-hot-chocolate/feed/ 4 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/maple-pecan-butter/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/maple-pecan-butter/#comments Wed, 12 May 2010 13:02:43 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=1833 Just to set the record straight, I have never ventured into the land of making my own nut butter. I always dismissed it, speculating that it was too complicated or time consuming a task.

I totally agree. It is a challenge.

What is this exactly?  Delicious, I think. It’s a grain free dessert which is perfect for summer. We had this last night after dinner and it wasn’t too heavy considering the summer heat. I considered adding in some additional summer fruits but in the end settled for strawberries and blackberries  – if you [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-strawberry-blackberry-crisp/feed/ 0 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-sugar-snap-pea-and-buttermilk-mint-soup/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-sugar-snap-pea-and-buttermilk-mint-soup/#comments Sun, 02 Aug 2009 22:27:41 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=1226 Several days ago, we had this unusual hiatus to our typical 95 degree July heat. We had three wonderful days of cloud cover and beautiful rain – with an amazing rare double rainbow thrown in for good measure. It looked like the pot of gold was hidden directly behind my neighbor’s house – just stunning.

My husband happened to be away on business the week prior. And the cosmic forces were aligned for both my children get sick while he was away. It lasted a full ten days.  Thankfully, it is behind us.  In situations like this I always try to look [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/chocolate-torte/feed/ 0 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/sweet-potato-fries/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/sweet-potato-fries/#comments Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:28:30 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=877 I made these for dinner yesterday afternoon. I created a little sauce to pour over – to really amp up the flavor of the french fries. In my opinion, it’s got the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Not that you didn’t know already that I love all things sweet and savory!  I put them [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/sweet-potato-fries/feed/ 7 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/warm-pear-salad-with-dried-cranberries/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/warm-pear-salad-with-dried-cranberries/#comments Wed, 04 Feb 2009 03:06:57 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=893 I somehow used to find time to watch Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa Food Network show. But, I haven’t caught it in quite a long time – until this past week. She was making a version of these pears.

Cynthia is a really good cook and the spread she so effortlessly prepared was delicious.  She baked some butternut squash and stuffed it with a rice and sauteed vegetable mixture. In my adaptation, I changed up the vegetable ingredients just a little bit. I couldn’t help add [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/baked-stuffed-butternut-squash/feed/ 0 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/turnip-and-parsnip-soup/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/turnip-and-parsnip-soup/#comments Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:35:30 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=826 My children like turnips. Really, I’m not kidding.  And they like parsnips, too. So, I thought I would try and put them together in a soup.  Alas, we had some serious muffin dunking going on for dinner last night.  The key to selecting good turnips and parsnips is fairly straightforward: firm to the touch (no flimsy [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/turnip-and-parsnip-soup/feed/ 0 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/orange-banana-compote/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/orange-banana-compote/#comments Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:57:22 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=810 Several years ago, I worked part-time at one of the major cooking stores in the US.  It was a dangerous liaison. A considerable employee discount led me to spend my paycheck and then some.  Sadly, all good things come to an end. Upon giving my notice I treated myself to one last item, a going away present of sorts:  a crepe maker.

Because they are most often grown in warmer climates and shipped across the country, they consistently  taste bland. They are most tender and sweet after a hard frost (i.e., grown in climates with seasonal [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/braised-brussels-sprouts/feed/ 1
