The weather has been sensational and so we have been outside non-stop; eating on the porch constantly. I feel invigorated by the mild temperatures, sunshine and blue skies. Tonight we had a terrific salad for dinner that was probably half walnuts and half lettuce. It also contained a good quarter cup of raw hemp seeds,…

Veggie Cakes vegan, raw-inspired, GFCF
I’m beginning to think the sky’s the limit with these dehydrated veggie cakes. We’ve made them two different ways, and the possibilities are looking endless. The one on top I’m calling Garden Veggie. The one below I’m calling Spicy Tomato Veggie, although you could easily make it mild too. Next I’m planning on using some…
Vegan Blueberry Muffins, Grain-free
Lately it seems like more and more people are needing egg-free recipes, either for themselves or their children. My kids don’t have a problem with eggs, but I notice that eggs tend to make me feel bloated and very tired. But whether you eat eggs or not, these blueberry muffins are a Guiltless Pleasure—the theme…
Chocolate & (fake) Peanut butter Sandwiches
This Chocolate & (fake) Peanut Butter spread is something that we eat often—sometimes all by itself 😉 like an after dinner treat. One tablespoon is as satisfying or more than a whole dessert. I have other versions of it, like the Frozen Sunbutter Fudge on page 166 in my cookbook. Sunbutter (which tastes similar to…
Macadamia Nut & Coffee Ice Cream dairy-free, vegan
Yesterday it was so hot, or maybe it wasn’t that hot, it just caught us completely by surprise. My mom is in town visiting, and I knew it was supposed to be around 65 degrees, so the girls and I took her to the Denver Zoo. It was 1:00 in the afternoon, and we felt…
Ancient Grains : a history of wheat
Six years ago when my my wife first approached me with the idea that we should stop eating wheat I was incredulous. “But, society was built on grains!” was my response. I thought back to my history lessons of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations as a defense for eating wheat. If it weren’t for the…
my Flourless Brownies with Sunbutter made by Shirley, at GFE
One of my dearest friends in the blogosphere is Shirley, at Gluten Free Easily, or GFE, for short. Shirley began commenting on my recipes a little over a year ago, and shortly after created her website, which has become a huge success. She runs a celiac support group in her town, which I was thrilled…
Egg-free, Grain-free Brownies, version 2
I decided to celebrate my cold being over with some brownies for breakfast this morning =D Only, I haven’t been tolerating eggs well lately (they are making me bloated and extremely tired), so I decided to revisit my Egg-free, Grain-free Brownies. They tasted great already, but I wanted to go ahead and make them vegan…
Ceramic Bundt Pan
I wanted to take a quick photo of my ceramic bundt pan to show to you. A couple friends have asked me what I use, since I make bundt cakes a lot, and there are bundt cake recipes in my cookbooks. When I began baking I was unable to find a bundt pan in stores…
Oscar Blues unfriendly to gluten free diners
UPDATE: When Oskar Blues first opened its restaurant in Longmont we were excited (see old post below). However, we won’t be going there anymore. We visited September 17th, and found the management had recently decided to do away with its gluten free menu labeling. Servers were completely unhelpful when we asked about whether the old…
