However, an almond sponge cake, rather than vanilla, creates amazing layers of flavor. The delicious layers of chocolate ganache and coffee infused almond sponge cake is decadent yet light enough to go back for seconds.

My grandmother and mother used to make biscotti (Italian cookies), but I never enjoyed them until I made my own, gluten free, of course! These gluten free pumpkin biscotti may be filled with dried fruit and/or nuts, or not. Did I hear, “Amazing”? Why, yes, I did! Use pumpkin puree or pureed sweet potatoes. Either way, they’re delicious! Nuts and dried fruit are optional. You can even dip them in melted chocolate.

You can use any soft cheese. I used brie. To make an alcohol-free version, use broth or stock instead of wine. Either way, this cheesy concoction is amazing!

Served during Christmas and on St. Joseph’s Day, these Italian fig cookies (Sicilian treasures) were made by my grandmother, aunt, and now two generations of cousins. Make them for any special occasion or holiday. They were not made gluten free, but they are now! Make them soft like Fig Newtons or crunchy like biscotti. People that are not on a gluten free diet usually enjoy them more than their traditional counterpart. Continue reading “Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookies – Cuccidati – Occidate – Buccellati”

I was recently sent a catalog from Popcornopolis. They’re offering a seasonal caramel corn that is red velvet inspired. A 2-gallon container goes for $49.99. I thought it would be a nice idea to develop a similar recipe, not knowing what ingredients they use. OMG! Now I know why it goes for that price! Plain, it’s such a delicious snack! However, when topped with the creamy topping that I created, this red velvet popcorn is just incredible! I predict that their product and this recipe will be the talk of the holiday season and continue to be popular thereafter. The combination is truly incredible.
