In preparation for my new cake recipe that uses this peach glaze to substitute frosting, I thought I would share it with you now so that I can link to it in the recipe. It has all sorts of uses. You can add cinnamon to it and top ice cream, use it plain, or add hot spices such as cayenne, ginger, and chili powder. Baste your pork and chicken entrees using savory or hot spices. Meanwhile, stay tuned in for my delicious new gluten free cake recipe! Continue reading “Peach Glaze or Peach Compote”
Chocolate Chantilly – Rich Egg-Free Chocolate Mousse
The definitions of chantilly is 1. (of cream) flavored whipped cream, usually flavored with vanilla, but it can also be rum or liqueur; and 2. (of food) food prepared or served with whipped cream such as peach chantilly: peaches served with whipped cream which is usually flavored. Chocolate chantilly is a very strong flavored whipped chocolate which contains about 75% cocoa. Because the chocolate is so intense I decided to set some of it aside whip some heavy cream and powdered sugar into it. This enabled me to create a nice layer affect. It creates a beautiful presentation, and once you add whipped cream to the top, it all balances out nicely. With the hot weather we’ve been having, a nice cool dessert that doesn’t have to be baked or cooked long is just perfect. Enjoy!

I use extra virgin olive oil to fry mine. What will you use? Continue reading “Homemade Sweet Potato Chips (Naturally Gluten Free)”

The old fashion “June Bride” doesn’t exist anymore. Typically, wedding bells are heard from April through October. One of the latest trends is to serve gourmet cake pops instead of wedding cake. They also make an excellent grooms cake. I went to one wedding wear they gave out individual boxed groom cakes as an additional favor.

Butternut Squash Gluten Free Ravioli with Creamy Garlic Sauce
I absolutely adore Pasta Prima’s Gluten Free Butternut Squash Ravioli, however, now that I realize I am allergic to tapioca I cannot have them. So, to the drawing board I went and the results were nothing but spectacular!
