I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about these cookies. Not only can they be made in a pinch but it is my first time experimenting with chick pea flour. The texture and subtle flavor this flour adds is like no other. Combined with brown rice flour it is even more dreamy. [...]

Sweet strawberries thrill me. Whether eaten out of hand, sliced up into creamy yogurt parfaits, stuffed into hot & melty french toast or in baked goods. Their flavor amplifies and the natural sweetness is enhanced with the addition of heat. Pure pleasure if you ask me. These snack cakes are part of the gluten free [...]

Cherries and cranberries. Two bright red fruits with spunk. The tartness of cranberry pairs perfectly with the sweetness of bright red cherries. Dressed with an oat crisp topping and heated in the oven magic happens when all the flavors combine.
