I’m lucky. I got to ask Aida up close and personal. If you don’t know her name, you should. Aida Mollenkamp is California-based food expert, TV host, writer, and culinary curator. She studied at the Cornell Hotel School (like me!) and Le Cordon Bleu Paris before joining CHOW.com where she worked behind the scenes as […]
Natural Decadence offers many options for those with intolerances
What do you do if you can’t eat gluten, dairy, eggs, or nuts and you love dessert? Your options are quite limited unless you bake everything yourself. But now, you can buy pies and cookies that are free of those allergens and still taste amazing. Rosa May Dixon, the head chef and co-owner of Natural […]
Gluten-free orange sesame beef stir fry
I was speaking to a friend today about blogging. My advice to her was that some times it’s ok to just write a quick entry without spending a lot of time. That’s my goal; let’s see how I do (I had to write the recipe; this took the longest). I think you’ll love this gluten-free […]
Gluten-free Dairy-free Belgium waffles
I don’t know about you but when I smell Belgium waffles at those kiosks, I really wish I could eat gluten. Last year I vowed to find a gluten free Belgium waffle replacement and I must say, I nailed it. I have made it two ways; with the caramelized sugar and without. Both are still […]
Amy’s Gluten-free flour blend
When I started my adventure in gluten-free baking, one thing that stressed me out was the amount of flours in a recipe. It was so off-putting, sometimes I did not want to bake. I was soon rescued by a friend, Amy Andrews of Amy’s Food Room, who gave me her recipe for a flour blend that she had created. […]
Specialty coffee drinks for the holidays

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe
I was experimenting with gluten-free oatmeal cookies a few months ago and created this recipe based on a combination of a few other recipes I had found. Initially, I made it with butter which meant my daughter couldn’t have them. However, the last time I made chocolate chip cookies, she wasn’t so interested. I still […]
Gluten-Free Mexican Wedding Cookies
I’m in trouble…big trouble. Because the holiday season, as far as I’m concerned, has kicked off. That means lots of baking for me. I love to experiment and see what I can convert to gluten-free. Some times I am successful and some times not. But when I am, I need to get these treats out […]
