A chef at the Pelicano’s restaurant at Hyatt Zilara Cancun created this twist on Caesar salad dressing as a solution for my citrus allergies. I fell in love with it and so has my family/guests. Traditional Caesar salad dressing contains lemon juice, olive oil, raw or coddled egg yolk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and black pepper. This version contains only basil pesto sauce and a little additional olive oil. It is much more figure-friendly. This dressing is extremely easy to prepare and will impress your guests. You’ll hear reactions such as, “I never thought about this before!” and “I have plenty of pesto sauce at home!” and “It’s much healthier than Caesar dressing!” and even, “I like this better than Caesar salad!” Continue reading “Gluten Free Pesto Caesar Salad (Egg-Free)”

While staying at the all-inclusive Hyatt Zilara in Cancun, Mexico last week, their bakery served these little gluten free apple coffee cakes with streusel topping.

Of course, I made the lower-fat version after indulging so much on vacation. In the cake, I used mainly dairy-free margarine and non-fat Greek yogurt instead of butter and sour cream. Enjoy!

This wonderful southern pecan pound cake is made less fattening by two simple changes without sacrificing on moisture and flavor. Of course, you can make the full-fat version as well. I made it low dairy, but you can make it completely dairy free without using hard to find ingredients. My gluten-eating neighbor gave it a smiley face, three hand claps, and a thumbs up. We both don’t care for super sweet cake, but I have given you a sweeter choice as well. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Southern Pecan Pound Cake – Bundt Cake (Low-Fat or Not)”
