Gluten Free Black Forest Pavlova Recipe
With Mother’s Day tomorrow it got me thinking about my own mother and how she shaped my life and inspired me.
From my mother, I learned that the details matter; the details are what take something from good to great. Taking time for the details shows you care.
Gluten Free Cherry Meringues Recipe
Need a last minute Easter dessert idea? No problem – I have one for you! These pretty little meringue nests are naturally gluten free, bite sized treats filled with chocolate whipped cream and a cherry on top.
The base of these treats are simply meringue that I scooped with an ice cream scoop and then made and indentation in the center with the back of a small spoon (I actually used a melon baller) – no complicated piping for me.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner (sheesh, how did this happen?!?) This year I am giving the people I love lots of Valentine’s Day kisses – in cookie form.
These gluten free sweet treats are light, tender cookies studded with maraschino cherries and topped with, yep; you guessed it – a chocolate kiss.
Gluten Free Black Forest Hot Chocolate Recipe
As a kid I thought that no better hot beverage for winter existed than hot chocolate. While my mother was having her cup of tea at tea time, we were given steamy mugs of hot chocolate. The fact that the hot chocolate came out of a packet (just add hot water) was of no consequence to me partly because I didn’t know better and partly because I loved those tiny marshmallows.
As an adult I consider hot chocolate more of a dessert than a beverage. I also think that if you are going to make hot chocolate it should contain, well, chocolate!
Gluten Free Black Forest Cookies Recipe
It’s December which, in our family, means it is time to start baking gluten free cookies. Lots and lots of gluten free cookies. After all, one never knows when there is going to be a need for cookies does one? Especially during the holiday season.
These Gluten Free Black Forrest Cookies are also grain and dairy free and are something between a macaroon and a brownie bite. They are chocolate cookies made with alomnd flour studded with even more chocolate
Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake
Years ago on a road trip with the hubby I called an old friend from high school, informed her that we were about an hour away and wondered if it was convenient for us to get together for a few minutes on our way through town. Without hesitation she enthusiastically invited us over to her home.
We arrived to a fresh pot of coffee, a lovely table set with flowers and a freshly baked cake. “Do you always have a cake ready for when people stop by with hardly any notice?” I wondered.
