Gluten Free Chocolate Whiskey Cream Pie

Gluten Free Chocolate Whiskey Cream Pie Recipe

I have no idea where the year went but Thanksgiving is right around the corner! And that means turkey, stuffing, gravy, and PIE!

There’s something about this pie that makes me swoon

Why should kids have all the fun on Halloween? Let’s face it they have it pretty good – they get to dress up in awesome costumes and go around the neighborhood collecting up bags of candy.

But what about the parents? They have to walk around for hours being on constant parental alert – keeping excited kids from running in the street, fixing fallen kitty cat ears, and confiscating sketchy candy. If those parents are anything like me they were also up all night the night before finishing up those awesome costumes

Gluten Free Frozen S’ Mores Recipe

By now you must all know I am obsessed with S ’mores. But this is not about me. This is about fathers. Or at least one father – mine.

So much of who I am is shaped by my father; from him I received my sense of responsibility, my work ethic, my drive, an appreciation for baseball, and a propensity for procrastination.

The crust is a combination of gluten free pretzels (to mimic the salty rim on a margarita glass)

Gluten Free Dairy Free Pistachio Cupcakes in a Jar

There will be no corned beef and cabbage for my family this year on St. Patrick’s Day. We have been invited to spend the day in the country with some wonderful friends for a picnic/barbecue.

Being as my maiden name is O’Neal I needed to come up with some way to commemorate the day unless I wanted a bunch of Irish relatives coming after me with pitchforks or rolling over in their graves. So I decided to make some gluten free pistachio cupcakes to share with our friends.
