Hi Bakers, These are such a pretty spring color I adore the way they look and taste. Green scones may not be everyone’s idea of yummy but I love matcha and the earthy rich flavor it brings to everything. Adding bright and sweet lemon is the perfect partner to these delicious and tender gluten-free scones. They are a fun break from the usual with a lovely look and phenomenal taste. I hope you give these a try.

Hi Bakers, Baking is my happy place and I really needed some of that this week. I decided to make a fabulous and somewhat time consuming dessert that’s a raspberry lovers delight. This pink cheesecake is full of raspberry taste with a beautiful color too. I ramped up the flavor by adding raspberry sauce and freeze dried raspberries to the rich cream cheese filling. Then, I used even more raspberry sauce and fresh berries to garnish. Ruby chocolate in the filing brings additional fruity flavor to the filling. Buttery graham cracker crust and tangy sour cream topping perfectly complement the ras ..read more

A vegan option is included at the end of the recipe too.

Hi Bakers, This is one of the most decadent desserts to eat. A classic Chocolate Mousse is rich and satisfying but also light and airy. It’s more elegant than a pudding but not much harder to make. I cooked the egg yolks and whites in this version to avoid eating raw eggs and that takes a bit longer to prepare with a few more steps. The heated egg whites look funky, like a curdled mess that smell scrambled…but they beat into lovely whites that don’t taste like scrambled eggs at all. If you are not worried about uncooked eggs, you can whip the whites raw instead.  This recipe can be m ..read more

You need to eat these! ~Carolyn Gluten-Free Lemon Ricotta Pancakes Dry Ingredients 1 1/2 cups Cup4Cup gluten-free flour 1/4 cup yellow corn meal 1 teaspoon sweet rice flour 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon ..read more

Hi Bakers, This is a better snickerdoodle than the original ones. Maybe everyone won’t feel this way… But for me, this buttery, rich cookie with rum and nutmeg bring holiday delight in every sugar covered bite. This is an easy bake but, you may need to alter the cooking time to achieve a crisp exterior and a soft center. Do what I do and bake a tester cookie before making a whole batch. This way you know how your oven cooks the dough and you get the cookie baked how you like it!  Enjoy ~Carolyn Adapted for gluten-free from the Snickerdoodle recipe from Cooks Illustrated and the ..read more

Hi Bakers, What kind of crazy person makes toffee and then melts it down into a sauce…Me. That would be me and boy am I glad I did! This cheesecake is a toffee lover’s gluten-free dream. This is a super creamy cheesecake with a graham cracker crust all topped with buttery, rich, toffee! The topping is a lot like caramel but even better. It has the complex flavor of browned sugar and butter in a sauce so rich and velvety you’ll want to eat it with a spoon. Be sure to start this recipe at least the day before you want to serve it, it needs many hours to chill properly. I like to bake the cheesec ..read more
