Gluten Free Gingerbread Christmas Tree

Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Tree

I’ve never been a fan of gingerbread cookies or houses when I consumed gluten, probably because people like to make them sturdy, which means dry in my book. This recipe is pretty sturdy, but moist inside. I love them. Last year, you couldn’t stop me and my husband from grabbing a piece of the gluten free gingerbread house I made using the same recipe. Delish! However, houses are a lot of work. Why not make a tree instead? If you’re ambitioius, make both! Continue reading “Gluten Free Gingerbread Christmas Tree”

Yam or Sweet Potato Casserole (Naturally Gluten Free)

Sweet Potato Casserole - Gluten Free

I purchased a bag of organic yams over a week ago. Still not having used them, what better time to cook them than Thanksgiving.

I asked the produce man what is the difference between yams and sweet potatoes. He said that yams contained more moisture and sweet potatoes were stringy. That was a different answer than my previous research. However, he was incorrect. My yams were stringy. So, I used them as I would sweet potatoes and they turned out delicious!
