Note from Kalinda: This is a guest post from my sister, Larissa, who also makes gluten-free goodies from time to time.

When we were small children our grandfather would tell us we needed to eat lots of carrots to keep our eyes strong. All of the siblings managed to inherit poor eyesight, but we still love [...]

Berry Pie

Mike’s family came to visit us last week so we didn’t do much wheat-free meat-free cooking. We did have lots of fun visiting with everyone though. :) Mike’s dad also has Celiac disease so there’s frequently a lot of food talk. His mom was nice enough to bring us a bag of Meister’s Gluten Free [...]

Homemade Peanut Butter Ice Cream

TheKitchn had a post about peanut butter snacks for the weekend and peanut butter ice cream was included. It was not very hard to convince Mike that we needed to make peanut butter ice cream.
We adapted a David Lebovitz recipe that we’ve used before and followed his instructions for how to make ice cream without [...]

Banana Pizza?

Note from Kalinda: Mike wanted to borrow the blog to share one of his food creations.
Sometimes, Kalinda decides to make things involving radishes or some such. So I’m forced to fend for myself for dinner. Last time that happened, I made a banana pizza. :)
Working on the premise that any meal can be improved by [...]

We have a new niece born just this morning! (Well, now yesterday morning, as it took a day to get this post up.) Unfortunately, we do not live in the same city as Mike’s sister and brother-in-law, so we are not able to celebrate with them in person. But a celebration is still in order, [...]

Monkey Bread

My sister was in town this weekend, so we had her and her boyfriend over for brunch yesterday. I’ve been wanting to make monkey bread ever since I came across Jill’s recipe a while back, and this seemed like a good opportunity to make it.
All in all it was pretty good. The only thing I’d [...]

Peach Semifreddo

So, after all my griping about the cold weather, and soup after soup recipe, how about a recipe for ice cream?
Well technically this isn’t ice cream. It’s a semifreddo. Semifreddo translates to “half cold” in Italian, and can refer to various cold desserts. This one is basically a no churn ice cream. Now, because it [...]

Pear Tart – Two Ways (Dinner and Dessert)

I noted in my turnover recipe that the dough could have other uses. How about an example? :)
I’ve been in love with Asian pears recently, so a recipe using them seemed in order. Asian pears have a texture more akin to apples ie: very crunchy and very juicy. (Admittedly, baking them ruins their awesome crunchiness, [...]

Cherry Quince Turnovers

Quince strikes again! Mike’s mother sent us a recipe for gluten-free “crescent roll dough.” We couldn’t resist trying it out. There were some quince hanging out in the refrigerator. Crescent roll dough + Quince + a few extra goodies = Cherry Quince Turnovers! :D
Mike’s mother is in a Yahoo group for Celiacs in the St. Louis area, which [...]

Easy Turtles Recipe

No, the days right after the holidays are probably not the best time for posting a sweet treat recipe. But this one comes with a cute story. And true to the title, the recipe is easy. So easy, in fact, that our 4 year old niece could make them–and she did! (Well…an adult should be [...]

Making Gluten-Free Pecan Brownies

Found this brownie recipe yesterday from Karina, and I couldn’t help but give it a try. Of course, we didn’t have the exact ingredients, and I don’t really know what I’m doing, but it came out pretty darned well anyway. :D
Dry ingredients:

1/4 cup brown rice flour (Karina’s recipe calls for sorghum flour. But I don’t [...]
