This month’s ratio rally challenge for gluten free brownies was hosted by the wonderful Mary Fran of Frannycakes. Honestly, I did not do much recipe development this month as a little over a year ago I had the serendipitous pleasure of stumbling across an ingredient combination that my husband and I absolutely loved – a very dense, chewy, almost like a fudgey cookie – a dark chocolate brownie based off of nut meal and cocoa. So this month, all I had to do was convert the ingredients to units of weight and have fun :)

Every time a major holiday event comes around, I am not afraid to experiment.  I hold on to the philosophy that if the dish doesn’t come out awesome, my family will still love me, and if it comes out great, everyone will be pleasantly surprised with a new taste to try.  So I never view [...]

Pear and Apple Crumble, Gluten Free

November 23, 2011

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Many people think Thanksgiving is a day to overeat filled with too much turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce, but really, Thanksgiving is much more than that. Growing up in New England, the Thanksgiving story is one I’ve heard told many times ever since I can remember.  The Plymouth settlers, i.e. [...]
