Gluten-free Pear Muffins with Jam Filling

August 6, 2012 by Alea Milham 1 Comment

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 adapted my Gluten-Free Pear Bread recipe to make muffins to include more whole grains. I used oat flour in theseRead More

Gluten-Free Strawberry Kiwi Coffee Cake

August 5, 2012 by Alea Milham 1 Comment

How do you improve upon spring’s first strawberries? Pair them with kiwi! Strawberries and kiwi are an amazingly delicious combination. So often I see them paired on top of fluffy, frosted cakes, but you don’t need to go to all that trouble to enjoy them. In fact, they are so good, you can sneak someRead More

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Scones

August 3, 2012 by Alea Milham 2 Comments

My oldest son is a really good big brother! I mean really good. He offered to help my 4 year old put together his train set. If you have a young boy, you know that one ill-fitting piece can lead to a catastrophic meltdown of epic proportions. The mothers of daughter probably think I amRead More

Gluten-Free Vanilla Scones

August 3, 2012 by Alea Milham 1 Comment

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 theyRead More

Gluten-free Chai Spiced Coffee Cake

July 18, 2012 by Alea Milham 2 Comments

This recipe caused a debate at our house. Our dilemma: Can you call a cake that contains tea, coffee cake? The one thing we all agreed on was that it was the best cake we have ever eaten for breakfast! This cake contains chai tea and the topping includes chai spices. It is a deliciousRead More

Gluten-Free S’more Brownies

July 14, 2012 by Alea Milham 1 Comment

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 toRead More

Gluten-Free Cookies and Cream Bundt Cake

July 12, 2012 by Alea Milham 2 Comments

I love house guests that double as guinea pigs! My sister is a good sport, so I had no qualms about experimenting on her (multiple times) when she visited last week. One evening I decided to try an idea I had for making a gluten-free cookies and cream cake. The result can only be describedRead More

Gluten-Free Caramel Apple Snack Cake

July 5, 2012 by Alea Milham 3 Comments

We didn’t have a large apple crop this year, but we have enough to make a couple of batches of applesauce and enjoy tart apples in our desserts. Our pear harvest is quite small this year as some animal(s) ate most of them the day before we planned on picking them. I know that IRead More

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Raspberry Pancakes

July 2, 2012 by Alea Milham 1 Comment

Or Why We Ate Next Week’s Breakfast for Dinner Last Night: I have mentioned the $5 Dinner Mom Breakfast and Lunch Cookbook before. It is a great resource for helping you save money while preparing quick and easy breakfast’s and lunches from scratch. I also like it because it is a wonderful source of baseRead More

Gluten-Free Shrewsbury Cakes

July 1, 2012 by Alea Milham Leave a Comment

My daughter was a tomboy growing up, so I was quite pleased when she discovered American Girl books and fell in love with Felicity…until I read the books and realized that the reason she liked Felicity so much was because she snuck out of the house at night, wore boy’s clothing, and “borrowed a horse”.Read More

Gluten- Free Hummingbird Bundt Cake

May 10, 2011 by Alea Milham 3 Comments

A Hummingbird Cake is usually a three layer cake with frosting between each layer, the top and sides. I will admit to being motivated in large part by laziness when I adapted the recipe to make it a Bundt cake. However, in the process I also made it a little less decadent. I replaced halfRead More

Sweet Potato Pie with Easy Ginger Cookie Crust

April 26, 2011 by Alea Milham 2 Comments

Sometimes I want to make a pie, but I don’t feel like making a pie crust. Just thinking about rolling out dough exhausts me. That is when I either tell my daughter that if she will make pie dough I will make her a pie or make a cheater pie crust with gluten-free cookies. ThoughRead More

Slightly Healthier Gluten-Free Garlic and Herb Pizza Crust

March 11, 2011 by Alea Milham Leave a Comment

Tonight when I made Chicken Alfredo Pizza with Broccoli, I used a slightly healthier version of my Garlic and Herb Pizza Crust. I replaced some of the white rice flour with brown rice flour and reduced the oil to 1 tablespoon. I also made it from memory and did something wrong, but it is aRead More

Gluten-Free Oatmeal Butterscotch Pan Cookies

November 2, 2010 by Alea Milham 1 Comment

This is a favorite of my children and their friends. I like that I can make them gluten-free and it isn’t obvious to the glutenavores. For that reason it is a party staple at our house. Usually, I send home leftover desserts with our friends, but my husband always discourages me from sharing this one.Read More

Gluten-Free Chai Latte Cupcakes

October 26, 2010 by Alea Milham Leave a Comment

I feel incredibly guilty sharing this recipe, not because you are going to become addicted to these cupcakes, which you are, but because they are so easy! Last month I won a Pamela’s Bakery prize package from Saxifrage at Sweet Sensitivity. I promised to share how I used the items and I didn’t make anRead More

Gluten-Free Pear Bread

October 19, 2010 by Alea Milham 1 Comment

I am one of those people that complete strangers talk to. I don’t know why, I am fairly shy and don’t usually initiate conversations in grocery stores, but I must send out a signal that I don’t mind if people talk to me…because they do! They walk up to me and ask me how toRead More

Gluten-Free Bierock Dough

October 12, 2010 by Alea Milham 1 Comment

I am a contributing writer on $5 Dinners and share my recipes on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Most of the recipes I share are naturally gluten-free, because that is how I normally cook. However, the last recipe I posted was not, so I wanted to share the gluten-free substitute I oftenRead More

Gluten-Free Apple Jumble Cookies

October 6, 2010 by Alea Milham 4 Comments

These are my youngest son’s favorite cookies. He calls them “Tricia’s cinnamon cookies” because my daughter makes some for him without any chips or nuts. This is the perfect recipe for my daughter who prefers to jumble ingredients together. Despite her tendency to just throw ingredients together in a haphazard manner, she creates wonderful bakedRead More

Sweet Potato Egg Puffs

September 28, 2010 by Alea Milham Leave a Comment

I can’t stop baking with sweet potatoes. Do you ever get hung up on an ingredient and just keep cooking with it until you run out  of ideas? I think I promised once before to stop posting sweet potato recipes, so I am not going to make any promises this time, but I will tryRead More

Gluten-Free Herbed Bread Sticks and Dipping Sauce

September 16, 2010 by Alea Milham 3 Comments

My resolution for this year was to use up a jar of yeast and a bag of xanthan gum before they expired. This might be the first resolution that I have ever kept! I have been having fun playing with pizza dough. Yesterday, I tried my hand at bread sticks. I slightly modified my GarlicRead More

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
