Recent time spent with my grandchildren got me to thinking of my childhood. I remember eating pink caramel popcorn. Remember that? All that sugar just seemed wonderful, and the artificial coloring made it very attractive! Fortunately, now, most people are gearing up towards healthier choices. No more red dye no. 40 which contains petroleum and less refined sugar. I decided to try a popcorn ball recipe sweetened with agave syrup. This is a great recipe to use up your left over popcorn, too! I am sure kids will enjoy this sweet treat! Continue reading “Gluten Free Agave Popcorn Balls”

Baked French Fry Recipe
Let’s face it french fries that have been deep fried are high in calories. If you’d like a french fry lower in fat and calories just bake them. I’m all for low fat french fries! I recently purchased a Nonstick French Fry Baking Pan which allows the heat to rise from the bottom through holes in the pan, allowing browning to occur on both sides. A little olive oil spray makes them taste like regular french fries. Continue reading “Baked French Fry Recipe”

I love soup, but out of all my gluten free soup recipes this has to be my new fave!

Gluten Free Raw Fudge
After watching this video recipe on Raspberry Ganache Fudge Cake I have been wanting to try it. Unfortunately, I had no avocado for the frosting, nor raspberries for the filling. Darn!

This raw fudge makes a great dessert, as well as a snack, and is also low-sodium, low-fat, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free dessert. And healthy, too! Continue reading “Gluten Free Raw Fudge”

Gluten Free Blackberry Sauce for Ice Cream and More
My father came for a visit recently and he just loves homemade vanilla ice cream. I only like vanilla if has a topping, though. So, I had some fresh blackberries that were not very sweet. I sweetened them up a tiny bit by making an ice cream topping. It is made with fresh blackberries, a little organic blueberry fruit spread and agave syrup. It is not very sweet, but the fruity flavor combined with the sweetness of the ice cream is just perfect. I enjoyed it, as did my other guests.
