Layered Gluten Free Chocolate Mousse Cake

Gluten Free Chocolate Mousse Layered Cake

Straying away from the typical all-chocolate mousse cake, I created this layered gluten free chocolate mousse cake instead. I don’t know about you, but I like to have cake in my cake. If I wanted all mousse, I would simply make chocolate mousse. I don’t enjoy the typical triple chocolate mousse cake because it contains white chocolate, of which I am not a fan. It’s too sweet for my tastes buds. This recipe combines the best of both worlds, chocolate cake and chocolate mousse. That’s all I can say is, “Mmmmm!”  Continue reading “Layered Gluten Free Chocolate Mousse Cake”

Chewy Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Superfoods

Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

Nature’s Path just came out with three flavors of their new Qi’a™ Superfoods Hot Oatmeal. Flavors include Creamy Coconut, Superseeds & Grains and Cinnamon Pumpkin Seed. I love the Superseeds & Grains because it has a bit of crunch. It contains rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats like so many brands. They asked me to create a recipe using my favorite flavor for their Pinterest Oatmeal Month (January) contest and here it is, a gluten free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies. They are so good that when I made them (just before dinner), I ate three and couldn’t eat my dinner. It was one of those nights…eat dessert for dinner and a small dinner for dessert. Mind you, I am not on a dairy-free or vegan diet, yet they still met my requirements for a chewy cookie. Enjoy!

Note: These are easy to make because the oatmeal packs contain six ingredients, with less to purchase and measure. Continue reading “Chewy Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Superfoods”

Gluten Free Hot Chili Oil Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Chili Oil

I use hot chili oil in many of my Asian dishes such as the dipping sauce for my Gluten Free Potstickers Recipe and sometimes in Fried Rice.  Often readers inform me that they cannot find chili oil in their local stores. I decided to solve that problem by supplying you with a homemade hot chili oil recipe. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.
