Boston blizzard: Bryce + Blueberry muffins

Recipe for GF Blueberry (Boston Blizzard) Muffins below Happy #Blizzard2015! Does anyone else think that’s a ridiculous hashtag? It’s only January and we’re calling this *the* blizzard of 2015? As my partner would say, “The Jew in me thinks we’re jinxing this”. I’m home alone today as dear hubby was called into his job; thankfully, […]

Mornings are for mixing-up muffins (literally + figuratively)

Recipe for Mixed-up Blueberry Streusel Muffins below. This morning the dear husband asked for blueberry muffins- with crumb topping. I’ve been talking about making blueberry muffins for weeks now and yet still hadn’t bought All-Purpose (AP) flour. I’ve gluten-free flours (chickpea, almond, hazelnut, and GF-AP) in the cabinets but I’ve not experimented with them for muffins. […]

Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

Recipe for Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies below. This weekend I was struck with a desire to bake cookies; specifically, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Being that I’m in an “only gluten-free flours in the kitchen” period, and that I’ve never made a GF Oat Cookie before, I spent an hour of my Saturday afternoon in research […]

GF Nutty Apple Galette

You can find the recipe for GF Nutty Apple Galette below. I’ve been wanting to make an apple galette for ages. It all started at my dear friend Toni’s home whereupon I found myself visiting his Wednesday night Writer’s Workshop. To enjoy, there was thick soup, crusty bread, and apple galette. The pastry made shortbread-like with the flour-sugar […]

cookie baking

I wasn’t going to blog. I was going to go to bed. But, I found myself curled up on top of the covers, cat by my side and wide awake and so I began this blog post. I made gluten-free chocolate chip cookies last night- an adaptation from TheWannabeChef. And, I like them. This process […]

A new year… and a new wheat-free baking challenge

Welcome to my first post in 2014. I’m glad you’re joining me here 🙂 After celebrating the Jewish new year this past fall, sitting mindfully through the Days of Awe and repenting through Yom Kippur, I feel less moved by the turn from 2013 to 2014. In past years I have spent the morn of […]

Comfort Choc-ful Pumpkin Loaf + Nutty Quinoa Pancakes

Recipes for Choc-ful Pumpkin Loaf + Nutty Quinoa pancakes follow this entry. I’ve been writing this post since Thursday. I first began working on the content for this post (in my mind and through baking) on Tuesday. It is amazing how much has changed since then and how also this post has changed. Originally I’d […]

First fall recipe: Sweet Potato-Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

Sweet Potato Oatmeal Bar recipe follow at end of post. We are not officially in the season of fall- that will happen tomorrow. But, it has felt like fall for the past week. With the cooling down of the weather (especially in the mornings and evenings) has come a need for soft cotton pajamas and […]

Honey cake and crumbs

Honey cake + Challah

Recipe for Honey Cake follows at the end of the post. This past erev Shabbat I made challah and honey cake because it was also erev Yom Kippur. On Friday after sundown, we entered into 26-hours of fasting and atonement on the holiest day of the year in the Jewish calendar.  “For on this day […]
