My kids informed me that it had been too long since I had made them muffins for breakfast. I wanted to make them something hearty, something more than what my daughter calls “ugly cupcakes”. I used oat flour and homemade jam in these muffins. Even though I was trying to make healthier muffins, I wanted an element [...]
If you are a regular reader, you know this recipe was inevitable. I think just about anything can be made better with chai spices. I love sweet potatoes. And I am still having fun playing with my Donut Maker. So Chai Spiced Sweet Potato Doughnuts were a natural. The only question is: Why did it [...]

While perusing Pinterest, I saw several different recipes for corndog muffins. I didn’t pin the recipes because they all contained ingredients my kids could have, but the idea kept popping up. I decided corndog muffins would be easy to make gluten-free using my gluten-free cornbread recipe. My kids loved these corndog muffins! They had not had [...]

Every once in a while, someone will email me to let me know that a recipe I featured or pinned contains gluten. I appreciate the [...]
My youngest son does not have much of a sweet tooth, but when he does want sweets he usually wants something with a strong vanilla flavor to it. When we were grocery shopping last week, a salesperson offered us a sample of vanilla bean scones. My son really wanted to try one, but since they [...]
This recipe caused a debate at our house. Our dilemna: Can you call a cake that contains tea, coffee cake?

We made s’mores last week. And as always happens we each had one or two and then I had lots of marshmallows and graham crackers leftover. Instead of letting the marshmallows and graham crackers get stale in the cupboard (have you noticed how the chocolate bars never go stale?) I decided to use them to [...]
Doughnuts are one of our favorite treats. After I made a Cookies and Cream Bundt Cake, I told my kids that I was thinking of making Cookies and Cream doughnuts because they are just like mini-bundt cakes. They were fully on board with the idea. You can find my Gluten-Free Cookies and Cream Doughnut Recipe [...]
