Pumpkin and chocolate. Does that sound like a good combo to you? If you haven't tried the two together then I suggest making these gluten-free squares. Im pretty sure you'll love the combo as much as I do. I have cut back the sugar in this recipe by using Swerve...
Jam tarts. Jam, jammy tarts. This is seriously the simplest of a tart filling for all you are going to use is jam. Whatever jam you have in the fridge will work. I used raspberry and cherry jam in mine. I also left some tart shells empty and filled some with lemon curd. These are […]
After posting a healthy salad recipe I had to share a decadent holiday dessert. This is a recipe for a 3 layer brownie. First layer is a baked chocolate brownie then topped with marshmallow creme and then finally a crunchy chocolate/ peanut butter layer. Sound good, right? I was going through old family recipes and […]
Butter Tarts. You either love them or you don’t. For most people it has to do with the raisins. For me, if I am going to go through all the work of making gluten free tart shells and then making the filling I am going with raisins. It just doesn’t seem to fit without them. […]
I am always looking for new ways to make homemade granola bars and especially ones that are lower in refined sugar. Have you looked at the sugar content in most gluten free granola bars? It is shocking how high the carb count is in most bars and truthfully with all the sugar in a granola […]
We have had very little hot weather this summer in Calgary no in fact it was quite cool and rainy most of the time. On the rare hot day we have had I knew I wanted to bake but did not want to turn the oven on. What to do? Well, of course that means […]
Baking is really my true love in the kitchen and even though I probably have more than enough baked sweets on my blog I had to share another recipe with you. Gluten Free Pretzel Nut Squares. Why I especially like this recipe is that it bakes in a 9 X 13 pan. Why would that […]
This gluten free dairy free sunflower seed butter bar recipe is a change up from using peanut butter. (See also: Vegan Sunflower Seed Butter Recipe.) Making your own seed or nut butters is actually very easy and when you make it yourself you have control over how much sugar and oil is in your butter. […]
I am a seasonal shopper. Nothing makes me happier than to head to the many farmers markets we have here in Calgary and see what fresh local produce is in. I like to visit the markets on Fridays and have company over on the weekend to enjoy the freshest of the produce. What produce I […]

Happy New Year everyone! It is hard to believe it is already 2014 and I am going to be 49 years old this spring. Yikes! Last year on my 48th birthday I realized I needed to get healthy. The first thing I did was buy the UP bracelet from Jawbone (insert jawbone website) and get […]
Christmas is right around the corner so I am going to be posting as many new gluten free baking recipes as I can. That being said, I am sure my family will be quite tired of sweets by the time christmas rolls around. Christmas is the time to indulge in the occasional...
Do you like granola bars? I do. In fact, I like to call them square cookies sometimes. I like to come up with different ways to make them. Stove-top. No-Bake. Layered. This recipe I am going to share with you is my new favorite. It is quick and easy and combines stove...
It's coming up to the end of February and I am feeling the winter blues. Winter in Calgary feels like it'll go on forever this time of the year. It doesn't help that snow arrived in full force early in October. That means we've already had 4 months of snow, cold...

I apologize if anyone is on a strict diet for my next 3 recipes. It is Christmas baking time and I've been trying recipes that are over the top decadent. It's been really fun for me playing in the kitchen lately. When else but in December can you get free rein to...
It is definitely Christmas season here in Calgary. Last week, we attended 2 Christmas parties and this week we have 3 and it is not even December yet. Yikes! As all of you know, who are gluten free, this time of the year can be very difficult. Pretty much all of the...
No-bake bar recipes are a handy thing to have at Christmas. All you usually need is a saucepan and a couple of bowls. Well, a fridge is also necessary but I shouldn't have to list that on the ingredients. Right? No-bake bars are also needed in the summer months. You...
Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I had successfully lost weight following a physician monitored low carb diet. By following a low carb diet I was able to lose over 50 lbs. I was thrilled of course, relished in being thinner and felt great. My doctor...
