About a year ago, I mixed up this coconut-flour based pumpkin bread. It was good. Really good. Especially after a day in the fridge for everything to meld together. But this morning when I wanted to make some pumpkin bread, I didn’t feel like getting out a recipe (yes, I use my own blog like… Continue Reading

Grain-Free Basic Bread (Coconut Flour Flax Bread)
Since switching over to the grain-free way of life, I have occasionally indulged in bread here and there. Face it, sometimes it’s just nice to have something to schmear butter all over… or to dip in your gravy/sauce/salad dressing/soup. But usually I end up feeling a bit bloated when I eat bread (with the exception… Continue Reading
Almond Flour Shortbread
Shortbread is probably one of my favorite cookies. What can I say? Butter is awesome. And it is one of the specific things I’ve missed a bit since going grain-free. So when I came across this recipe, I had to try it out. It’s originally from Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, a book I… Continue Reading
Dark Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons
Reader Stefanie recommended the site Health-Bent to me, and while I was glancing over it, I saw these coconut macaroons. I actually happened to have some egg whites in the fridge, from when I made a hollandaise sauce earlier in the week, so I (literally) whipped up some macaroons. I did them a tiny bit… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Bacon Drop Biscuits
If you’ve been reading my blog at all in the last year, you know I love my coconut flour. And you also know I love bacon. So today when I got the hankering to bake something new, and flipped through Cooking with Coconut Flour, as soon as my eyes hit “Bacon Drop Biscuits” I gasped.… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
Maybe it’s because we’ve been running around a lot more in the mornings, but Anneliese has been napping like crazy lately. Seriously, I have HOURS to get things done now! So yesterday I baked those banana nut muffins, and today I tried out a pumpkin recipe I had in my head. At first I thought… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Banana Nut Muffins
I love fall and fall foods, so I’ve been wanting to make banana nut bread since our chilly snap last week (though today was as hot as the dickens again). Pumpkin bread is around the corner, too. Since we had a couple brown bananas waiting for me in the fridge, I thought I’d throw together… Continue Reading
Happy Birthday to my Sweetie
Well, happy birthday to him yesterday. And as a birthday gift to all of you? I give you this cake. And since I made it with a 3-week-old baby who is nursing constantly when she is awake… you know it must be easy. Plus it’s grain-free and gluten-free. Score! And my husband just wouldn’t be… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Recipe
Today while skimming through blogs, I came across this recipe for Homemade Graham Crackers. And they just happened to also be grain-free! And they ALSO happened to use ingredients I had on hand already! So I had to go for it. I love(d) graham crackers… sometimes you just want something cinnamony and honey-y that will… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Gluten-Free Cookies of Awesomeness
Yes, I’m still pregnant, still in Prodromal Labor… consistent contractions all day and night, but that’s just the “problem.” They’re not getting more intense, so… I’m left in limbo. And what do people in limbo do? Bake cookies! (And make tomato basil sauce out of the TONS of tomatoes from our garden, but I didn’t… Continue Reading
Grain-Free (Coconut Flour) Zucchini Bread Recipe
Zucchini is something I look forward to every spring and summer… and I always hope for a bountiful crop of it in my garden. Other people complain about having too many, but I never seem to have enough for everything I want to do with it! Last year, our plant hardly made any at all,… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Recipe: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’ve been looking for a great grain-free cookie recipe for a little bit now, mostly because I think my sweet husband (who has a sweet tooth to rival famous sweet teeth the world over) would like some cookies now and then. And, you know, so would I. Well the other day I found SUCCESS with… Continue Reading
