Magical Mushrooms & “Meaty” Vegetarian Chili

Mushrooms are magical.  No, not those kind of mushrooms.  I’m talking about the regular ones.
Minced and cooked, these gems can stand in for meat, bringing an earthy, almost meaty flavor and texture that is way more authentic tasting than any processed soy granules.  Healthier, too!

When I set out to make Chili last weekend, I searched [...]



Gluten Free Classic Criss-Cross Peanut Butter Cookies

 
Somebody pour me a big glass of milk! 
This recipe come from Easy Gluten Free Baking by Elizabeth Barbone.  This cookbook is pretty new to my shelf and is the only GF cookbook I own besides Annalise Roberts’ Gluten Free Baking Classics.   Both of these books have proven to be invaluable to me in satisfying the [...]



Gluten Free Belgian Waffles

Just look at ‘em.  Oh, they taste just as good as they look, too!
I only tried Gluten Free Waffles one other time.  They were a disaster.  I resorted to frozen Trader Joe’s waffles for my Gluten-Intolerant Spawn when I would make the rest of the family the regular wheat-based waffles from my tried-and-true recipe I’d been [...]

This is really my Mock Wheat Bread masquerading as [...]



Snickers Bar Trifle – The Perfect Halloween Birthday “Cake”

My husband loves Snickers Bars.  You probably won’t believe me when I tell you that his breakfast each morning is usually a half a Snickers and a Banana.  Really.
So, for this birthday (which falls on Halloween - and for those who know him well, this explains a lot!),  I decided to incorporate his favorite candy into the dessert which [...]
