kheer + spicy ginger lentil soup

I can’t take credit for either one of these, but they were both FABulous. I ate the soup for a week (or more) and didn’t once get tired of it. It’s SUPER ginger-y, though! I think I added a little

cake decorating…a new calling?

I made this cake for a friend last month and had so much fun decorating it I wondered if I’d found a new calling! Regardless, I definitely found a new favorite buttercream frosting recipe. Here’s the link. It was so

maple and mustard-glazed salmon…(gluten-free) sandwiches!

This is another Serious Eats find that I loved. It was at least a month ago that I made it, but, hey, it’s been a busy month! At least I’m finally getting around to it. Here’s the link to the Maple

goat cheese and cranberry salad

This is a pretty simple recipe, one inspired by a salad at a favorite local coffee shop. It’s been my dinner twice this week, mainly because it’s so easy! I’m sure it exists elsewhere on the interwebs, but here’s my

gluten-free nanaimo bars

This is an adaptation of a gluten-full and dairy-full nanaimo bar recipe a friend of mine found online. The bolded ingredients are the GF/DF substitutions, and the ingredients in parentheses are from the original recipe. The dairy free substitutions are

ultimate chips and cheese

I love avocados. Growing up, we used to have “Mexican food” – burritos or nachos with El Paso-seasoned ground beef and black beans, sautéed onions and green peppers, Chi-Chi’s Mild salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, and guacamole – on a weekly

pumpkin, carrot, & parsnip soup

I made this soup from scratch about a week ago and had it for lunch every day this week. It’s perfect with some toasted (gluten-free) bread and goat cheese. No photos, unfortunately, but it’s not much to look at anyway;

gluten-free carrot cake

Growing up, carrot cake was one of my favorite desserts. That and strawberry shortcake. Since getting diagnosed with celiac, I haven’t tried making carrot cake; for the longest time, my stomach couldn’t tolerate dairy (casein) and my taste buds wouldn’t

I love beets. With a little balsalmic, olive oil, flat leaf parsley, and some good old salt and pepper, it’s easy to make a delicious salad – especially nice on a hot day! It was in the mid-90s earlier this
