I will start by acknowledging the great difficulty I have experienced with gluten-free yeast breads. I tried making a nice crusty loaf to go with pasta, it was a horrible failure. I tried making dinner rolls for the holidays, they were an embarrassment. But not one to give up easily, I decided to try cinnamon…
Not a Sweet–but so tasty! Buckwheat Waffles
I don’t plan to make a habit of posting non-sweet goodies here, but tonight’s dinner was so tasty I wanted to share. A Big Boss Grill landed on my doorstep this week. I am not an infomercial shopper, really I’m not, but I saw the commercial for this one in the middle of the night…
Sweet of the Week #6, Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches with Sarah
This week I made chocolate chip cookies that are vegan, free of refined sugar and gluten. What could possibly be left in such a cookie? Just the yum. I used the cookie recipe from the Babycakes NYC cookbook. You’re tired of hearing how great this cookbook is by now, right? The recipe in the cookbook…
Sweet of the Week #5, Blueberry Custard Pie with Emily
A couple of weeks ago it popped up in conversation with my friend Emily that National Pie Day was coming up soon. It has since passed, but from that conversation I learned that Emily’s favorite pie is Blueberry Custard. Before making these pies, I had never made or eaten Blueberry Custard pie. In fact, eating…
Sweet of the Week #4, Choco-Toffee-Craisin Cookies with Tina
Many years ago, maybe 1999 or so, I saw Martha Stewart on TV with guest Torie Hallock making cookies that sounded divine. They included chunks of chocolate, toffee and dried cherries. I went to the store to find the ingredients and couldn’t find the cherries. I substituted Craisins, added a bit more flour, used chocolate…
Sweet of the Week #3, Bake Sale Cupcakes with Ginger
The devastation from the recent earthquake and the seemingly non-stop aftershocks in Haiti saddens me. I wanted to do something to help. Vegan bake sales began popping up all over the country and I decided to join in the fun. A Vegan, Gluten-Free Cupcake sale in Kansas City? Well, why not? Last year I participated…
More Free Donuts…
On a recent excursion to Quiktrip, John got a coupon for a free donut. A fella was inside Quiktrip handing out the coupons, presumably in an attempt to help people break their New Year’s Resolutions as soon as possible. Being a good donut samaritan, John brought the coupon home so I could see it instead…
A New Lamar’s…
Lamar’s isn’t one of my favorites*, but free donuts are always good. The newest location of Lamar’s in Overland Park, Kansas is offering free glazed donuts and coffee the 21st-23rd. Here’s a blog post about it. *As I’ve said before, I feel guilty that I am not particularly fond of Lamar’s, as they are the…
Sweet of the Week #2, Chocolate Snowball Cupcakes with Richard
I’m not a baking purist. I sometimes take shortcuts in the kitchen. So here goes…This week’s sweet uses a mix. Gasp! In the last post, I mentioned my dislike of many gluten-free mixes. They smell funny, they taste funny and the consistency is often not at all like the gluten-filled counterpart. The following creation is…
Sweet of the Week #1.5, Bittersweet Bakery
As I mentioned in my Sweet of the Week #1 post, my friend Mary and her hubby went to Bittersweet Bakery in Eagen, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. The treats they brought back were too good not to share with you! I should mention that I am not a fan of many gluten-free sweets. Many…
