I have frosting issues. It’s always either too thin or too thick. I also enjoy waiting until a few minutes before party go time to start the actual frosting, which usually creates a crisis. In this case, it was too thick to spread, so I heated it, which made it a different color from the […]
Gluten Free Ziti with Sausage & Veggies :: Friday Foodie
Okay, glorious Readers. I promised this recipe long ago, and most of you have been patiently waiting. Others of you have been almost harassing in your repeated requests, comments, emails…settle DOWN, please.

Gluten-Free Cinnamon-Sugar Muffins :: Friday Foodie
These fluffy muffins are vaguely reminiscent of the frozen cinnamon sugar donuts my mom occasionally baked and served up for breakfast. The same company made “honey buns,” and when those hit the table, it was ON. They probably contained glue, but hey, who’s keeping track? When these gf delights are on the menu, we have […]
Italian Spaghetti Squash :: Friday Foodie
Spaghetti squash is a magical vegetable. The name says it all – when you roast and cut into it, the flesh divides into uniformly sized, al dente spaghetti “noodles”. If you eat a paleo or gluten-free diet, finding layering base foods for sauces and proteins can be a challenge. It’s easy to get bored with […]
GF Orange Glazed Muffins :: Friday Foodie

In FSN, I learned all about the complex sensitivity of muffin batter. If you over-mix it, the muffins can come out full of funky air tunnels. While some […]

Okaaaayyyy on with the recipe. […]
Gluten-Free Lemon Ginger Scones :: Friday Foodie
These sweet-tart-delightful scones are a mash-up between two of my favorite recipes: Elana Amsterdam’s basic scones (see her amazing gluten-free/paleo website: http://www.elanaspantry.com), and my sweet friend Sara’s decadent lemon ginger scones. They are perfectly enjoyed for breakfast or a mid-day snack, and the almond flour adds some healthy protein to the mix. Ingredients: The Scones: […]
Mandy’s Meatballs :: Friday Foodie
These delicious meatballs are adapted from a recipe that came from one of the coolest mamas we know (you’ll be hearing more from her down the road). My favorite thing about this dish is that every savory bite is a perfectly nutritionally balanced… and as you’re gathering, we’re all about the balance. Also, they freeze […]
