It's a simple recipe really. Just a few ingredients-- rhubarb, strawberry, lemon, sugar, and water. It's delicious on ice cream, oatmeal, yogurt, waffles & pancakes... the list goes on and on. And, between you and me, it's delicious just straight off the spoon. Shhh... I'll never tell.
Read MoreI've never made gougères before, and to be honest, I'm not sure if I've ever eaten them. I like Brazilian Cheese Rolls and the gougères looked pretty similar. I knew that they were supposed to be quite airy, not a dense hard health food roll. 1/2 a stick of butter, 4 eggs, 1.5 cups cheese... yeah, not a health food roll. But, delicious... I knew they were supposed to be lighter than air and taste fabulous. So, I figured, what the heck, I can make these.
Read MoreDid you know that my son is 8-years old and he's NEVER had a waffle cone before? To be honest, I don't think he is that broken up about it, but a part of me is annoyed every time we go to an ice cream shop and either have to bring our own tasteless gf wafer cone or opt for a cup. Mind you, he doesn't care... but I do. Soooo, when I got into making ice cream last year, I was lucky enough to get a waffle cone maker for my birthday.
Read MoreWhen I first started cooking gluten-free five years ago, I tried a bunch of different pre-made gluten-free flour blends, but I was constantly frustrated by how small the boxes or bags were. SO expensive and SO small. Somehow I discovered my now favorite gluten-free blogger Silvana Nardone. I highly recommend her cookbooks. Her recipes were among the first that taught me that gluten-free baking can taste good, so good that no one will know it's gluten-free. She cooks and bakes both gluten-free and dairy-free. I used her flour blend for a long time, and then, along came Thomas Kellar's Cup4Cup gluten-free flour blend. Like Silvana's flour, it works, but OMG is it expensive!!
