Tropical Whipped Cream Fruit Salad
I could bathe in this stuff! Yep, this salad (or dessert if you prefer) is that luxurious to the taste buds – in flavor and texture. But I’ll refrain from taking a dip, and just dip my spoon into the yumminess over and over and …

Read MoreOrange Coconut Italian Biscotti Pie Crust
Once I made my Gluten-free, Dairy-free Orange Coconut Italian Biscotti, I just couldn’t resist turning it into a gluten-free, dairy-free crumb pie crust. It has the perfect flavors to complement the right fillings, such as a pumpkin custard or creamy chocolate pudding. And with pie season coming (really it’s here already in my mind), there’s never a risk of having too many pie crust recipes. Don’t you agree?

A fresh, raw salsa can brighten up any dish. I find using homemade salsas that are naturally free of gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, preservatives, and too much salt, bring out so much flavor.

Read MoreMexican Fish Tacos
I’ve shared a taco recipe in the past in which I talked all about how to put together a killer taco bar with tons of fixin’s. While I like that a lot, what I really appreciate about this fish taco recipe is how with very little work, and simple ingredients, the flavors are so authentic and rewarding. Clean, fresh, and true. What’s not to like?
Read MoreMexican Sweet Corn Cake
Mexican sweet corn cake, in case you’ve never had the pleasure, is this creamy, sweet, mash-like-ultra-moist-cornbread-like baked dish. It is speckled throughout with whole and chopped super sweet corn kernels. The starch from the corn creates a texture and mouth-feel similar to … well, nothing I can really say resembles this texture. It is such a great texture, just one of its own design (okay, my mouth is already watering).

You guys, this salsa recipe is so easy! But better than that, it will take your taste buds on a ride to flavor town.

Perfect for celebrating Cinco de Mayo, but you certainly don’t have to wait for that excuse to treat yourself to this salsa!
Read MoreCashew Butter Cup Easter Cutout Cookies
I used to LOVE, and miss, those Easter-only Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Eggs! But I’m not one to sit and be bothered permanently. So I created my own Easter egg nut butter cups. And to keep from being a Reese’s copycat, I decided to put a cookie twist on them. Now, I’m not saying that I’ll ever stop reminiscing the days of old, but I certainly don’t have to feel a longing for them anymore.
Read MoreLemon Poppy Seed Coconut Finger Cakes
This recipe creates little “cakes” that are really more of a cross between a scone and a muffin. They’re tender and light in texture, with a very mild sweetness to them. I love how the almond, coconut, and oat flours create a “whole grain” mouthfeel. And the coconut and lemon together … well, … it’s fabulous!
