Fig and Walnut Muffins

At the writing of this post, I just made these on the spur of the moment in my kitchen tonight. This recipe resulted as a mixture of inspiration from this basic muffin base from Elana's Pantry, this post from Daily Bites, my new-found love for figs, the current contents of my pantry, and my urgent need to bake something now.

Zucchini "pizzas"

 

 These yummy veggies are adapted from Proud Italian Cook. They are a quick, refreshing way for me to get my "pizza fix" :)

It's the little things...

OK, so I was so excited that I had to post this...!

Tonight, I just finished putting together this chocolate "pudding" from Sugar Free Mom. It's mystery ingredient? Avocados.

Gluten-Free Bagels

Bagels--the most current challenge for the Gluten Free Ratio Rally. Using tips from here and here, the ratio I came up with is a little different... 2.21 parts flour, and 1 part liquid. (?? Don't ask why, this is just the amount that worked out for me...)

Dear Sweet Tea, where have you been all my life??

With summer quickly approaching (it's already been over 100 degrees F this week where I live, at least once), I thought it was high time I posted another beverage to this blog, as it seems I've neglected this department ;) When I first went gluten-free, refined sugar free, I thought that I'd said goodbye forever to sweet tea...I used to love making it when friends came over, and I'll never forget the first time I discovered how to make "sun tea"! :) Well, now, thanks to inspiration from one of my friends, I have discovered the art of making sweet tea with agave nectar (or honey). You can do it for individual servings, or for a whole pitcher--though ultimately, you can sweeten (or not sweeten) to taste. A perfect addition to your next cookout or picnic!

Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip

This recipe was what I would call a success! I especially think that when I take it to a group gathering, and the non-GF eaters are enjoying it and asking for the recipe! :)

Pâté á choux--Not as hard as it sounds

When I first heard about April's "Go Ahead, Honey, It's Gluten Free" challenge, I knew I had to be a part of it this month. Z's Cup of Tea is hosting. For the month of April, the challenge is to make some kind of food from a favorite children's book--whether from when you were growing up, or one that you may have discovered more recently.
