Sunday Morning Doughnuts

Ok, I admit it. I miss doughnuts. I don’t need a whole box, but sometimes a nice fresh doughnut with a cup of tea on a lazy weekend morning is just what I crave. So, when I saw the recipe for gluten-free coconut doughnuts in Aran Goyoaga’s new cook book Small Plates Sweet Treats, I knew I must give it a shot.

Home Made Muesli

I love muesli. Since my mother is from Holland, and we were fortunate enough to be able to travel over to Europe to visit family when I was growing up, we got to experience many wonderful cultures. Some of my greatest memories is of the food we ate while we were one these trips.

Lemon-Poppy Seed Birthday Muffins

Arthur has a new favorite muffin. When asked what snack he wanted to bring into school to share with his class for his birthday, he shouted, “lemon poppy seed muffins!!!” Ok, then. So we made our new lemon-poppy seed muffins for him to share.

Summer Quinoa and Fruit Salad

With all the blueberries we picked, I have been putting them in everything. Here is a great, quick, and refreshing summer quinoa salad.

“Go to” Kale Salad

Even since Scott has gotten back from his adventures studying elk and wolves in Montana and Yellowstone, which you can read a little about here, I have taken on project “Clean Out Basement”.

Raspberry Scone Cake (Gluten-Free)

This was one of those happy accidents. I went about making these scones by the Gluten-Free Girl & the Chef with a few variations…and some missteps.

Granola for Grandpa

My father loves granola. At any given time if you were to look in my parents’ pantry you would find at least 5 bags of ‘fancy’ granola. I think my dad may have it every morning for breakfast. Therefore, I thought it would be a fun gift to make him granola for Father’s Day.

Quinoa & Mushroom ‘Meat’balls over Spaghetti Squash

Oh my gosh. This meal is one of my new favorites. It is getting warm here in Connecticut, but I can imagine how this is going to be such a comfort food meal as the days start to turn cooler again in the Fall. These ‘meat’balls have that great hearty taste,

Gluten-free Ice Cream Sandwich

I could really use one of these right now. I made them a couple of weeks ago and they really hit the spot. First I whipped up a batch of my gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, which you can find here.

Oatmeal Snack Bites (gluten-free)

I have been in a big gluten-free snack rut recently and those who know me know I am a snacker. A big snacker. So, this rut has been a problem. I needed something quick and easy and that was just a couple of bites.
