Try this recipe for addictive almond cranberry bars. They’re a true delight. I would choose these bars over cake or other sugary sweets. They are definitely a less guilty pleasure. They’re heavy, similar to chewy brownies, perhaps a bit more heavier. Yet they are chewy. They satisfy your sweet tooth for dessert, as well. They’re just addicting! I blew my diet this week by having two – well worth it! Continue reading “Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars”
Every year around this time, my mom used to make corned beef and cabbage. It wasn’t until recently that I realized it wasn’t named Corn Beef and Cabbage. I didn’t realize the beef was “corned”. The “ed” makes total sense. I’m not alone, though, and either are you if you didn’t know this. There are over 18,000 people each month that search for “gluten free corn beef” via Google.

Before I discovered my tomato allergies, I enjoyed meatballs just like my Sicilian grandmother used to make. I still make sauce for my husband, though. He’s usually happy with Italian sausage, but I can’t seem to find good Italian sausages without nitrates. Therefore, I’ve gone back to making him meatballs. He loves them and I hope you do as well.

After tasting the new Trios Gluten Free Girl Scout Cookies, I knew those who were not able to find them in their area would have to taste these amazing cookies. I got right on it today. After several tweaks on baking times, height of dough, amount of invert sugar and butter, I finally did it. I knew on the last 2 batches that I baked, that I had achieved a copycat recipe of the Gluten Free Girl Scout Cookies, Trios! Again, I was thinking, “OMG!” I’ve only used that term twice on this blog, but they are truly amazing. When my gluten-eating husband gets home, he’s going to flip out with joy as he loved the Trios we purchased and they were all gone. Continue reading “Copycat Gluten Free Trios Girl Scout Cookies (Flourless)”
I am interested in making a copycat recipe of the Gluten Free Trios that some of the girl scout troops are selling this year. The Trios are just amazing cookies! However, I noticed that one of the ingredients is invert sugar (the consistency of high fructose corn syrup, but different). It keeps baked goods moist without crystallizing. Honey will work the same; however, invert sugar does the job without imparting a honey flavor. Not having on hand, I decided to make some myself. I hope you appreciate the recipe, as it is extremely easy to learn how to make invert sugar. However, you can also purchase invert sugar online.

I really needed a smaller size carrot cake, as my famous Gluten Free Carrot Cake Recipe is a bit too much for us lately. Using a 9-inch round pan versus an 8-inch makes for a lower cake, which fools us psychologically into thinking we’re still having a large piece. The main thing I changed in this new gluten free carrot cake recipe is making a smaller batter and making it moister and spicier. There was a bit too many crumbs on the recipe in the above link. This time, it’s perfect. A matter of fact, it is so good, you don’t even need frosting. It’s plenty of sweet and extremely moist. I used lots of ground cloves which I really enjoy and I think you will, as well. It tastes closer to pumpkin bread. If pumpkin spices are not your cup of tea, omit the cloves. Enjoy!
