Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
There is nothing in the world I like better than taking a conventional sugar and flour recipe and remaking it to be low carb and gluten-free. If I am successful, nothing gives me greater satisfaction. And more often than not these days, I am successful. But that wasn’t always the case. When I started this [...]
It’s truly a joy when your children start to show an interest in the things you love. Even though it usually creates an astounding mess, I get such a kick out of the fact that my son now shows a strong interest in cooking. Up until recently, his interest was limited to helping me make [...]
The other day, my son expressed some serious boredom at his breakfast options. I can’t say that I was particularly sympathetic to his plight, because there are about 5 different cereals (mostly gluten-free) on the go in our cupboard, and he could always make himself toast (gluten-free) instead. He’s finally at an age where he [...]
When I made up the name for this blog, I had no idea how fortuitous my pick would turn out to be. I actually had another name altogether in my head, but as I was fairly certain that no one beyond my close family and friends would ever read it, it hardly mattered much what [...]
Food is like language. When I see this, I realize that it’s no wonder that I fell in love with food blogging, because it combines two of my favourite things in all the world…language and food. These may seem like disparate passions, but in fact they are not. In many ways, they are remarkably similar. [...]
Don’t forget to enter my KitchenAid Stand Mixer giveaway! My husband is always clamouring to be featured in my blog. I suppose he thinks it is a reflection of my love for him, if I write about him. Well, you asked for it, darling. I am going to tell my readers a story about you [...]
As you know, I was recently down in New Orleans to film a few segments of a local healthy cooking show. There, I got a chance to meet and hang out with one of my co-authors, Maria Emmerich of Maria’s Nutritious and Delicious Journal. If you don’t know Maria’s blog, you should. She not only [...]
Peanut butter is my Achilles heel. It’s my weakness, my downfall, my greatest temptation. It is like crack to me, the more I have, the more I want. An open jar of peanut butter in the cupboard is a cruel torment, and I often have to physically restrain myself from digging in a spoon for [...]
You know, I make a lot of great recipes. I don’t really believe in false modesty, but nor do I want to be boastful. Still, I know I’ve become pretty adept at working with low carb and gluten-free ingredients, and creating some goodies that taste just as good as the conventional version. I’ve gotten to [...]
Sometimes a girl just wants cake. Wait, let me rephrase that. Sometimes a girl just needs cake. Sweet, warm chocolatey cake, the ultimate in comfort foods. Bonus points if it’s actually quite healthy but doesn’t taste even remotely like it. Extra bonus points if it takes all of, say, 15 minutes to make. No, I [...]
