Gluten Free Choux Pastry for Doughnuts and Cream Puffs
I published a teaser for this some months ago when we made the first batch of cream puffs. It’s taken a few tries- oh, ok, quite a few tries- to get this down to a simple and repeatable experience anyone in the house can make. The biggest issue was a procedure problem with the starter [...]
Gluten Free Pie Crust
So it’s Thanksgiving next week. For me and for a lot of people, Thanksgiving means two things: turkey and pie. For the gluten free folks, pie is a problem. But it doesn’t have to be; I have a fantastic pie crust recipe. I haven’t changed a thing about this recipe since I found it the [...]
Gluten Free Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe
At the end of the summer, Zachary and I spent an afternoon at Heather’s house picking apples, plums and blackberries. The plums and blackberries were frozen and the apples became apple sauce. The apple sauce is long since consumed, and the plums are being saved for trifles in mid-winter when we need a taste of [...]
Strawberry Shortcake
We harvested our first strawberries this past week, and wanted to make strawberry shortcake. I’d never gone looking for a shortcake recipe before. This came out with a texture between those cheesy cakes we used to get in the grocery store next to the strawberries and angel food cake, but so much better than either [...]

Cream Puffs
I have just made gluten-free cream puff shells for the first time ever. This is a choux pastry, which is something I’ve never tried to make previously; apparently this is how eclairs and profiteroles are made as well. I’m not sure I’ve ever baked something so beautiful. And I haven’t filled them with the chocolate [...]
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
Question to Zachary: “What should I make for brunch?”
Answer: “Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread!”
Question to David: “What would you like for dessert?”
Answer: “Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread!”
Question to Heather: “What would you like me to bake for the retreat at La Push?”
Answer: “Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread!”
It seems like there’s only one answer to any question I ask these days about baking. This is the new universal favorite baked good in the house. Pumpkin pie’s spicy sweetness mixes with chocolate into a rich warm flavor. The moist crumble of a perfect banana bread combines with a little bit of texture given by the chips and oat bran. Delicious!
The best part for me is it’s also full of nutrition, with lots of pumpkin and oat bran, and very little sugar other than what the chips impart. Sometimes I just sprinkle a few on the top without mixing them into the batter, and they are not missed. It’s dairy free and gluten free.
Candy Brandy Pears
This is one of my favorite desserts. The one I always want after a good meal. Just the right amount of sweetness, and warm, satisfying flavors. Candy Brandy Pears Ingredients: 3 – 4 pears sliced in half and cored 3 – 4 T butter 1 C orange juice Spices; I use apple pie spice and [...]
Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Oh, my, I just realized the cake has not been written up. I’ll need to get a photo the next time I bake it. But here’s the recipe. This is *the* cake. Friends request it for special occasions. They discuss it among themselves and with other people in hushed voices. They rave about it, and [...]
Waffles, reprise
I had to try them again.And because I’m me, I had to try to make them better. I used more or less the flour blend from Gluten Free Girl’s cinnamon rolls and this is what I got: And this is how I made them: Waffles, reprise 1 oz almond flour 1/2 oz tapioca flour 1/2 [...]
