Spicy Cilantro Hummus
I’m blogging from beautiful British Columbia tonight from a cabin in the middle of nowhere. I have my iPhone pressed up to the window and am working via a tethered one-bar connection, so my apologies on no opening snow filled picture tonight. With the experimental menu I’ve planned for our stay here I hope they’ll…
Bacon Wrapped Figs
I knew that if I didn’t post this recipe today there would be a hoard of people hunting me down for it. When trying these my sister said “I didn’t know what a fig looked like outside the newton” and honestly I didn’t either. This was my first go at eating and preparing figs. Needless…
Tofu Miso Balls
Our Christmas celebrations continued with a brunch of eggs benny this morning at my Aunts house (so happy to have a break from cooking!). I swear we waited until noon to crack open the wine but cannot promise that champagne followed the same time restriction. Much food and drink was consumed and with that I…
Cinnamon Waffles with Cream Cheese Frosting
This years’ Christmas marked the first of many new experiences: in laws meeting for the first time first dinner party first attempt at a three course dessert cutting a ham serving gluten and dairy free foods to the masses I had started planning this event months in advance and had nailed down a Christmas Menu…
Dragon Rice Bowl with Marinated Tofu (& a merry ho-ho)
Making gingerbread houses has to be my favourite activity of the Christmas season. I never eat any of the candy because 80% of it is made up of corn (allergy), but I just love coming up with new ways to decorate the house each year! I made a garden patch in the backyard of my…
Chocolate Almond Banana Spread
If you have celiac disease and live with others that consume gluten containing foods, chances are you’ll fit into one of the three categories below: You have 2 toasters at home – if so, luck you! You’ve tried to make your toast in the oven (and have failed miserably – unless you have a trick…
Lazy (wo)mans Cabbage Roll Casserole
I’m totally with the angel on this one. I’m exhausted. But I don’t have a nice fluffy cloud to nap on. Just 2 more days until Christmas and although tired, I’m pretty pumped about it. I had leftover ribbon from the blondie jars and a bunch of toilet paper rolls in recycling so I decided…
Chocolate Cups
Today marked my last day at the office until the New Year and the completion of our blondies in a jar Christmas gift project. I got to the office at 6am and hustled to get everything done so I could leave with a clear mind at the end of the day. I topped the day…
Gluten Free Holiday Feast
What a busy week! I’ve successfully shared all of my favourite Christmas meal ideas with you. I’ve enjoyed recreating a lot of my families recipes by adapting them to fit a gluten free/dairy free plate and I’d like to think I did pretty well! Since I’ve already done all the leg work I’ve decided to…
Coconut Snow Cookies
This was my kitchen at 4pm today after making coconut snow cookies, more carrot bites (because I ate all the ones I’d made for Christmas Day), and leftover turkey and yak stew. If you look far off in the distance you can see the kitchen table where Kevin was laying out our Christmas decorations and…
