(Free) Homespun Sugar Cookies

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Warm sugar cookies used to taunt me. Every day in high school, the cafeteria offered warm sugar and chocolate chip cookies. The chocolate chip cookies I could do without-- mom made those at home. But, oh, the sugar cookies. The only sugar cookies made at home were rolled out and cut into shapes. The cafeteria sugar cookies, which I'm sure came frozen in a box, were perfectly round disks coated with granulated sugar. On a good day, they'd be golden brown. On a bad day? They looked pale and greasy. It didn't matter to me what they looked like, I wanted one. Thanks to my food allergies, however, I couldn't satisfy my craving! I had to be content just

BWD: Mini-Chocolate Bundt Cake

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Remember when milk chocolate was the belle of the ball? (At least in the United States.) Much as changed in the last few years. Suddenly, milk chocolate is considered passé and dark chocolate is enjoying the popularity once reserved for Milton Hershey

BWD: Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

This damp bundt cake is part of the Baking with Dorie Challenge. And, to be honest, is my favorite recipe so far!

BWD: Blueberry Crumb Cake

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0800

I know. I know. The last three recipes I've posted have been for blueberry desserts. I am sorry about that. Okay. I'm too sorry. See, when I am sharing a recipe as good as this one for blueberry crumb cake, it is hard to feel bad!

As I've mentioned before, I am a member of a small blog baking group called Baking with Dorie. This week's challenge was Dorie Greenspan's Blueberry Crumb Cake.

In the past I have really, really struggled with creating a good "crumb-y" gluten-free crumb topping. For this challenge, I wasn't really worried about the cake. I was, however, worried about the topping. After playing around, I decided that sweet rice flour and a little xanthan gum made the best gluten-free crumb topping I'd ever had!

This dessert is so pretty and so easy to make!

BWD: Creamiest Lime Pie (Free!)

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0800

This week Baking with Dorie was my selection! WOOT! The idea of a lime meringue pie just sounded perfect. Somehow I selected this recipe before I really read the recipe (sorry fellow Baking with Dorie members!). I didn't realize that the filling was nearly identical to "The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Cream Tart" that we'd already made. Eep!

(Member Recipe) Buttermilk Loaf with Lemon Icing

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0800

The holidays are coming! I've been working on wonderful new recipes that you can share with your gluten-eating family and friends that will make them swoon. I've decided to kick off my holiday recipes with this Buttermilk Lemon Loaf.

This recipe looks really humble. Butter, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Nothing exciting, right? Well, as you know, sometimes the best baked goods start with basic ingredients. This cake is no exception. I really don't know where to begin when talking about this cake. I'm totally smitten with it.

Let's first talk about the texture. It is dense and damp, like the best version of a pound cake you've ever had. After your tongue rejoices over the texture, the flavor hits you. Buttery and tangy all at the same time. This cake begs you to take another bite and then another and another.

The recipe makes two loaves. So you can pop one into the freezer for those times when holiday guests just happen to show up.

(FREE)How to Cook Gluten-Free Pasta

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Yesterday I posted a picture on Facebook of my "Outrageous Gluten-Free Macaroni and Cheese." (Why is it "outrageous". Um, it uses 1 1/2 pounds of cheese. I think that might even make Paula Deen blush!) One of my friends, Lisa, asked about cooking pasta. Since she was the second person to ask me in a week, I felt a post was in order.
