Gluten-Free Chocolate Kahlua Cheesecake Blondies
from The Baking Beauties

It’s time to share something decadent (everything from The Baking Beauties is decadent). As I sit here on my grain-free diet and watch my sugar intake and watch my intake of any and all grains, this recipe is staring me in the face and saying, “you will give in Chris”. I know I can be [...]

Creamy Quinoa Apple Crunch
from The Baking Beauties

Quinoa posts usually seem to come in pairs or even groups of three or four — it must be something in the air or that it is just so popular that everyone just continues to write about it. Whichever it is, I’ll keep posting them as it’s pretty tasty stuff. I’m always in search of [...]

Creamy Lime and Coconut Tarts
from The Baking Beauties

Jeanine from The Baking Beauties is consistently doing her best to tempt me with recipe after recipe of decadent bliss. Just when I think I’m safe for the week and I won’t be consuming any unnecessary desserts, here she comes again with something that makes my mouth water. If you’re like me and a good [...]

Cheesy Chicken and Spinach Rolls
from The Baking Beauties

This really sounds like a meal — Cheesy Chicken and Spinach Rolls! I can just imagine walking away from the dinner table holding my stomach in that “that was so good and I am so full” sort of way. It’s really looking like Jeanine of The Baking Beauties can create comfort food like no other. Every one [...]

Gluten-Free No-Bake Chocolate
and Peanut Butter Cupcakes
from The Baking Beauties

I love anything that’s labeled as “N0-Bake”. These cupcakes look more like peanut butter cups to me — but that’s OK as I can almost certainly guarantee they are really tasty. You really can’t go wrong with chocolate, peanut butter, and cream cheese. Take these to any party and watch them disappear as quickly as [...]

Gluten Free Beer Battered Fish
from The Baking Beauties

For better or worse, fried fish is something that people tend to say goodbye to after they’ve been diagnosed with celiac disease. Thankfully, there are a handful of restaurants out there that are offering gluten-free fish and chips — one in particular that I’ve been to is Corbett Fish House in Portland, Oregon. They have [...]

Waldorf Inspired Quinoa Salad
from The Baking Beauties

Yet another quinoa recipe, this one is from The Baking Beauties. I love the versatility of quinoa — you can use it in just about any recipe that calls for pasta or rice — and in most cases, the quinoa taste as good or even better.  It’s also a great substitute for the cracked wheat in [...]

Gluten Free Lemon Blueberry Doughnut Holes
from The Baking Beauties

In between my rants for eating healthy gluten-free and focusing on things that are naturally gluten-free, I have to finally give in and post some dessert items and other gluten-free “substitute foods” (I know that this happens a lot more than I’d like to admit). So with that in mind, here are what I’m sure [...]

Quick and Easy Salmon with Dill
from The Baking Beauties

Salmon and Dill or anything with salmon is OK with me. It’s also something that all three of my kids love. They’ll eat it anyway I prepare it (as long as it’s cooked — they’re not much for raw salmon). Being that I have three kids that I do all of the cooking for, and [...]

Gluten Free Peanut Butter
Caramel Thumbprint Cookies
from The Baking Beauties

The Baking Beauties is coming out with one great gluten-free recipe after another. I look forward to getting these every weeks and seeing what else I can surprise my kids with (and me too). Every recipe so far has been a huge hit and I can only imagine that streak will continue. How could you possibly [...]

Gluten Free Lemon Bars
from The Baking Beauties

Lemon Bars have to be one of the best desserts of all time. There have been many attempts to convert the many recipes out there to gluten-free — all with varying degrees of success, but this version from The Baking Beauties has to take the prize. Based on a recipe from the incomparable Ina Garten [...]

Gluten Free Falafels
from The Baking Beauties

Before my celiac disease diagnosis, I used to eat falafel at least once a week. Since my diagnosis, I can only eat it when I make it myself. It’s amazing to me that something that can be made so good without gluten is so often made with binders like flour. I’ve come across a lot [...]
