Easy Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cupcakes (from a box!)

September 8, 2009

Crystal’s birthday was over the weekend, so I decided to try my hand at baking one of her very favorites: Red Velvet Cupcakes. I’m much more of a cook than a baker, but as I mentioned in my last cupcake post, I learned a great deal about doctoring cake mixes from my mother, the Cake [...]

Gluten-Free Lemon Poppyseed Cupcakes (from a box!)

August 20, 2009

Growing up, my mother’s idea of dinner was often microwave popcorn and diet coke. While her culinary skills are not great, she is, and will always be, the Cake Mix Queen. The cakes and cupcakes she makes from doctored box mixes are moist, flavorful, and usually scarfed down completely only minutes after she smothers them [...]

Egg-based Gluten-Free Hot Dog Buns

August 14, 2009

This week, Crystal was craving a good brat. I decided to bake her a hot dog bun that isn’t crumbly, is lighter than a hockey puck, and doesn’t take anything away from the brat’s flavor; so I put on my thinking cap. I remembered seeing a gluten free pastry recently that used egg, sugar and [...]

July 19, 2009

There is a terrific little Mexican restaurant chain in the Midwest called Panchero’s that makes fantastic burritos. Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, Drew and I would stop there after work to grab a quick dinner. The restaurant’s slogan is “it’s all about the tortilla” because they hand press a homemade tortilla for each [...]

December 8, 2008

For the first time since being diagnosed with celiac disease, I have been really sick. Here are a few things that I’ve learned through this experience that I thought I’d share because they can be a pain to lookup when you’re under the weather. If you need to hydrate, all flavors of Gatorade are gluten [...]

Quick, easy, great-tasting piecrust mix — Just in time for the holidays!

December 2, 2008

I’ve loved cherry pie for as long as I can remember. I was afraid I would have to go without it this holiday season, as a sign of solidarity with Crystal’s gluten-free diet. Then I came across Breads from Anna’s gluten-free (and yeast, corn, dairy, soy, and rice-free) piecrust mix in the grocery store and [...]

Gluten-free hamburger buns

November 9, 2008

UPDATE: We have a new egg-based gluten-free hamburger/hot dog recipe you should try. It’s light, fluffy, and holds together better than any other gf bread we’ve had! We have tried many pre-made gluten-free breads, bread mixes and bread recipes out there, and most of them share two common attributes: they are very dense and have [...]
