Gluten Free Coconut Doughnuts

Gluten Free Coconut Doughnuts Recipe

Every once in a while I do gluten free cooking or baking classes and last week I had two scheduled back to back. They were based on a basic quick baking mix recipe in my latest cookbook Simply Gluten Free Quick Meals.

The idea is that you whip up a basic mix and from there you can make pancakes, muffins, quick breads, biscuits, dumplings, etc. The beauty of this basic recipe is that you can customize the end product any way you like – if you are dairy-free, you can use a non-dairy liquid, sugar-free, use the sweetener of your choice, that sort of thing.

As I was preparing samples to take to the class I decided at the last minute to use basic mix to whip up some coconut doughnuts – maybe it is not the smartest thing to bake something you have never made before for a hundred strangers but I tell people all the time they need to

Gluten Free Sweet and Salty Brownies

Gluten Free Sweet & Salty Brownies Recipe

What flavor do you crave when you have a really strong, compelling, almost insatiable food craving? Is it salty, sweet, chocolaty?

For me it is all three. Chocolate cashew clusters, gluten free pretzels dipped in dark chocolate and yes, even chocolate covered potato chips.

That is why I love this super simple brownie recipe so much; it combines all my fav craving flavors in one luscious, moist, decadent treat.

And when I say super simple, I mean it. Just toss some ingredients into a food processor, give it a blitz, top with salty peanuts and in about 20 minutes you have a treat to cure your cravings!

To cut back on the refined sugar in these brownies, I used

Gluten Free Cinnamon Apple Turnovers

Gluten Free Cinnamon Apple Turnovers Recipe

Until the other day, I can’t tell you how long it had been since I have had an apple turnover. But I can tell you how long I have been obsessing over how to make an easy gluten free cinnamon apple turnovers recipe. Exactly one and a half weeks.

I was watching an interview with a Southern chef and as soon as I heard the words “any Southern housewife worth her salt can make an apple turnover with a tube of refrigerated biscuit dough” the obsession began.

Home cooks have been using convenience baking products to make all sorts of easy baked goods for ages. This got me thinking – what gluten free convenience product could I employ to create a gluten free apple turnover?

A quick scan of my pantry provided the perfect answer

Gluten Free Cherry Cake

Gluten Free Cherry Cake Recipe

With Father’s Day coming up this weekend, I have started planning how I will celebrate with my own father. I am lucky to be able to spend the day with three significant fathers in my life that day; my Dad, my hubby and my son – all great fathers.

Of course for us, all celebrations revolve around a meal. In trying to decide what to serve I looked to my Grandmother for inspiration. Why? Because I firmly believe that

Gluten Free Sun Dried Tomato and Olive Quick Bread

Gluten Free Sundried Tomato and Olive Quick Bread Recipe

This may be the simplest gluten free bread recipe I have ever come up with. I am talking seriously simple. Even if you don’t bake at all, you can make this bread!

This bread is basically a quick bread, which means there is no yeast, no rising, no hours of waiting – it’s quick! And how much do we love quick?

Most quick breads are sweet like banana bread or orange cranberry loaf, this one however is savory thanks to some sundried tomato pesto and kalamata olives.

This is a great bread to serve with

Gluten Free Florentine Cookies

Gluten Free Florentine Cookies Recipe

There is a lot I love about these Gluten Free Florentine Cookies and one thing that sort of drove me a little crazy. Aside from being divinely decadent, this is naturally gluten free recipe, pretty quick and simple to make and all the ingredients are easy to find in the regular grocery store.

With their burnished brown and copper tones studded with bright pops of ruby red, they remind me of an antique jewelry box filled with precious jewels. They are, for the most part, quite lovely to look at. Which brings me to the one thing about this recipe that I struggled with.
