Gluten Free Vegan Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe
Ever had Mexican hot chocolate? It is rich, creamy, intensely chocolaty with hints of cinnamon and vanilla and a slow, latent hit of heat from chili that sneaks up on you with a delightful surprise. It is indescribably delicious and the inspiration for these gluten free, vegan cupcakes.
As amazing as these cupcakes are, not everyone in my family was an easy sell for a taste test. My son was game because he loves anything with spice. My Dad was skeptical at first but in the end his sweet tooth was stronger than his fear. Both of them declared
Vegan Chipotle Black Bean & Quinoa Burgers Recipe
This Fourth of July I just may be declaring my own personal independence from meat.
I have never thought that a Fourth of July celebration was complete without some sort of burger or slider. Usually it is good old fashioned American hamburgers made from freshly ground beef with a gluten free bun. But sometimes I like to switch things up, last year it was lamb sliders with tzatziki sauce, a few years ago it was pork burgers with barbeque sauce and coleslaw. But this year I am thinking Gluten Free Vegan Chipotle Black Bean and Quinoa Burgers may just be my burger of choice.
My son was recently
Gluten Free Barbecue Sauce Recipe
The men in my family are ridiculously competitive, even about things that don’t matter, like barbecuing. Honestly, I do not know where they get it from!
Truth be told they all know their way around a grill and are grill-masters in their own right. They can all cook meat over fire very proficiently. And me, being smart, let them swelter over the grill and take advantage of their competitiveness as the results are always fabulous.

Gluten Free Tilapia Tacos with Cherry Chipotle Salsa Recipe
I have never met a taco I didn’t like. Well except when they are made with {gasp!} flour tortillas. Flour tortillas for tacos just offend me, not only do they take a naturally gluten free food and glutenized it, it is just wrong! I have been to Mexico on many an occasion and never once was I offered a taco in a big, deep fried, pasty flour tortilla!
Anyway, I digress. The point is I love tacos. Beef tacos, pork tacos, chicken tacos, veggie tacos…you name it, I love ‘em. And as of late I especially like fish tacos.
I have absolutely nothing against eating a taco as simple as some grilled meat or fish, onion, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime – simple, delicious, perfect! But for my latest

Gluten Free Brie Quesadillas with Mango Salsa and Chipotle Sour Cream Recipe
This is a favorite flavor enhancer of mine when I am in the mood for a little kick. It also adds great depth of flavor and that little bit of something that people can’t quite figure out what it is. And it makes good sense to make a puree out the chipotle in adobo, as there
