Food, Gluten Free, Recipes, Photos
I’m excited to bring you this post today as it’s one of my favorite entertaining events/menu. Fondue! My favorite part of fondue is the time spent with friends and family. The meal and conversation lasts 2-3 hours and there isn’t a better time for sharing the joy of simply being together than sitting around your…
Green Chili Chicken Bites A new appetizer just in time for the Superbowl! These will be different than anything you serve or see at the appetizer bar and my inspiration came from the many Buffalo Balls and Dips served at parties. Why not go Tex-Mex instead! My Green Chili Chicken Bites are baked (yes baked…
Vanilla Bean Cupcakes I was so excited to try these cupcakes when they first came out of the oven that I ate two in a row just to be sure I wasn’t dreaming. Yes, dreamy, fluffy, vanillay, light, airy, moist….delicious! I was given the task of bringing gluten free vanilla cupcakes to a shower last…
Cheesecake Caramel Bars These tasty little nuggets are as good as they look; chocolate, caramel, nutty goodness all bundled in a bite-sized bar. This is an old recipe that I’ve tweaked over time, and this year they tasted better than ever. I took out a few steps making the preparations easier and added chopped peanuts…
Kale and Chickpea Salad Lowfat, healthy, low carb, protein-packed, vitamin rich….and gluten free of course….it’s all here, and it’s delicious! I started with a bunch of kale that I couldn’t resist at the market, $1.98 for a bunch. It was beautifully green, bright, and fresh….looked like a summer garden. My goal for this salad was…
Tiramisu Tiramisu….oh for the Love of Dessert. And speaking of Love, how about Tiramisu for Valentines Day! A beautiful dessert filled with layers of lovely decadence. And although this dessert is heavy on the calories, it’s as light as a cloud with every bite. It’s dreamy….like a cloud, a big heart shaped cloud….airy and light….on…
Flour Tortillas I couldn’t wait to post my review this morning of these amazing gluten free flour tortillas! I purchased a tortilla press over the holidays as one of my “must-do’s” for 2015 was to make gluten free flour tortillas. I love corn tortillas, thankfully, as that’s pretty much the only edible option when looking…
My Mom’s Spiced Nuts My Mom makes the most amazing Spiced Nuts, so I asked her if she’d do a post with me showing how to make them. It was a great way to spend an afternoon with my mom, and when the nuts were bagged and tied we lunched on my Winter Pear Salad…
Asian Stuffed Bell Peppers A delicious healthier option for the holidays. It even looks like Christmas doesn’t it? These are a wonderful choice for a holiday gathering keeping things light and flavorful. You could even cut the bell peppers in quarters and serve as a holiday appetizer at your next party. They won’t last long…
Winter Pear salad I’ve been craving this salad and it tastes especially delicious during the winter months. I think it’s due to the fresh crisp greens followed by sweet fruit and salty feta cheese….its light and flavorful. It’s also the prettiest salad you will ever make….it looks like a holiday, doesn’t it? Have you tried…
Olive Dip – The Perfect Appetizer It’s Party Season! Or should I say “Appetizer Season”. Do you find yourself looking for something new, easy, healthy and festive to bring to each party? My Olive Dip is not only easy to prepare, but it’s red, green, and white for Christmas, lower in calories. and only has…
Peppercorn Sauce This sauce came together in honor of a very special person’s birthday, my Stepfather, Pat. ‘Stepfather’…it’s such an impersonal title, isn’t it? How about ‘bonus-father’? Yah, I like that one. Pat…he loves and appreciates good food….especially beef…which was his request for dinner and we were very happy to oblige. So to make it…
