Chocolate Covered Gluten Free Graham Crackers

Chocolate and Nut-Covered Gluten Free Graham Crackers

When I have my family over, they usually request that I make Chocolate Almond Brittle and Gluten Free Graham Crackers. They’re all gluten-eaters! As we all get older, brittle gets stick in our teeth, though it never stops me! So, as a substitute, I created a similar recipe to the chocolate brittle using graham crackers. You can use any nuts you desire. I’ve chosen walnuts today, as they’re my favorite. You can omit the nuts altogether and substitute them with a sprinkle of vanilla bean flake sea salt. It gives it that chocolate-covered pretzel vibe. Enjoy! Continue reading “Chocolate Covered Gluten Free Graham Crackers”

Carla Spacher and Chef Caesar from Hyatt Ziva Cabo

The price of an all-inclusive resort includes your stay, all meals, cocktails, taxes, fees, and gratuities. This trip was our first all-inclusive vacation. I share my gluten-free experiences both at the hotel as well as at an outside restaurant, along with other aspects of this resort.  Continue reading “Gluten Free Dining at Los Cabos Ziva Hyatt: All-Inclusive”

Gluten Free Polvorones (Shortbread Walnut Cookies) aka Mexican Wedding Cookies

Gluten Free Polvorones - Walnut Shortbread Cookies

The word polvo, in Spanish, means powder or dust. These gluten free polvorones, aka Mexican wedding cookies, Spanish polvorones, or walnut shortbread cookies, are not dust. However, powder or dust is a resemblance of what its crumbly texture leaves behind. The delicate texture is created by its lack of egg. Real shortbread made by master chefs are just as delicate. Learn how to make exquisite gluten free polvorones. Continue reading “Gluten Free Polvorones (Shortbread Walnut Cookies) aka Mexican Wedding Cookies”

Some days, I am in the kitchen baking all day. It’s part of my job as a recipe developer. The last thing I want to do during the summer is turn on the oven for personal use. So, this stovetop gluten free buttermilk biscuits recipe is the perfect alternative. It works! It’s the same great recipe as I use for my Fluffy Gluten Free Biscuits recipe, just made on the stovetop. My husband loves the additional crunch I can create by turning the heat a little higher just for his, after I’ve removed some for me. I can keep my biscuits buttery soft, like I enjoy them.
