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.

So, when I do it’s a really big treat. Tonight we are having soup for dinner and in lieu of a savory muffin I opted for something slightly sweet.  These are very easy to make. Just prepare wet and dry ingredients  separately and slowly incorporate the flour at the end.  Your [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-soy-free-banana-walnut-muffins/feed/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-coconut-pistachio-meringues/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-coconut-pistachio-meringues/#comments Wed, 24 Dec 2008 22:18:28 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=686 These cookies are wonderful. Slightly sweet and slightly salty. Such a delicious combination. These are not hard to make - but you really need to have uninterrupted time to devote to them. They are quite delicate. All said and done - I would say this recipe will take you 40 minutes.

Sitting next to the sink on my fruit stand were several avocados. Genius. Could it actually work?  Add that to my lengthy list of things to test in the kitchen.  In my experience, avocado [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-casein-free-dairy-free-soy-free-low-sugar-chocolate-chip-cookies/feed/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-raw-no-bake-apricot-almond-bites/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-raw-no-bake-apricot-almond-bites/#comments Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:08:22 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=693 The last few months, I have become an admirer of the Washington Post Food Section and the clever and humorous foodies that write it. Last week, they published a column on baking holiday cookies - one of my favorite things.  They  included a recipe for “no bake white chocolate apricot almond bites” which intrigued me. Now, white chocolate is [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-raw-no-bake-apricot-almond-bites/feed/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/braised-brussels-sprouts/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/braised-brussels-sprouts/#comments Fri, 12 Dec 2008 17:17:06 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=673 I don’t know about you but I absolutely love brussels sprouts. In years past, I never truly appreciated them until I had the opportunity to eat freshly picked local sprouts. 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/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-chicken-a-la-king/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-chicken-a-la-king/#comments Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:12:09 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=631 This is something I recall my mom making throughout my childhood. It was her mom’s recipe. I’d  somehow forgotten about this little gem of a dish until I came across the recipe in Novembers Cooks Country magazine. I stopped and reflected for a moment - could this recipe be refabbed (yes, I invented that word) gluten and casein free?  I made this a [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-chicken-a-la-king/feed/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/mislabeling-of-gluten-free-food/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/mislabeling-of-gluten-free-food/#comments Sat, 06 Dec 2008 21:14:37 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=644 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/mislabeling-of-gluten-free-food/feed/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-cream-of-broccoli-soup/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-cream-of-broccoli-soup/#comments Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:31:02 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=637 The last few weeks, I have had a hankering for broccoli soup. This fit the bill quite nicely. Broccoli is truly an amazing food - superfood - you could call it. It’s rich in fiber, calcium, vitamin C and selenium. This cancer-fighting vegetable also boasts significant antioxidant properties. Among its many health benefits, it is great for your eyes/vision and for regulating blood [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-cream-of-broccoli-soup/feed/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-casein-free-hot-chocolate/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-casein-free-hot-chocolate/#comments Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:19:14 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=509 Here in Colorado, we woke up yesterday morning to several inches of snow. It was quite unexpected - this our first snow of the season. The snow was a bit on the heavier side. As a result, the surrounding landscape was transformed into a winter wonderland. The evergreen trees were draped with snow,  their branches sagging ever [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-casein-free-hot-chocolate/feed/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-cranberry-apple-pie/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-cranberry-apple-pie/#comments Thu, 27 Nov 2008 16:01:07 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=585 Happy Thanksgiving! I realize it is the morning of - and most of you have already chosen your turkey day dessert. However, for any of you last minute recipe hunters - this one is a winner. It’s a cross between a cake and a pie. And it’s so good in fact that I ate some for breakfast [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-cranberry-apple-pie/feed/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-casein-free-fish-with-asian-mushroom-sauce/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-casein-free-fish-with-asian-mushroom-sauce/#comments Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:25:36 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=488 Last night, we arrived home from a weekend trip to the mountains and I was desperately trying to throw something together for dinner at the last minute. My fridge happened to be almost entirely empty save some shitaake mushrooms. I came across this recipe for asian mushroom sauce and it was really quick and easy.

At over 5000 feet in elevation, being closer to the sun warms us up quite nicely. And snow doesn’t hang around long.

I was thinking the other day - in one of my “I really miss that” moments that I could use some kasha and tweak the ingredients a little bit.

She’s been making this cake for years. I really love it. It’s one of the things about autumn that I look forward to every year. I’ve changed it up a little bit by adding some pecans in there.
