Read MoreSoft Gingerbread
Soft gingerbread, with a texture midway between Bundt cake and birthday cake, is perfect. It seems to fit the bold, not overly sweet flavors, and can easily be eaten out of hand … with frosting or not. Or try it both ways, for good measure!

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?
Read MoreRich Dairy-free Hot Cocoa with Homemade Marshmallows
What a sweet treat to sip hot cocoa on a cold winter’s day. You know that satisfying feeling of slurping rich and creamy lusciousness that warms all the way down the throat and into the chest, right? And what could be better than topping that cup of chocolate-y richness with some tender and springy, melt-in-your-mouth homemade vanilla marshmallows? Not much, in my opinion.

There’s something special about the combination of flavors in these cookies. Whether we’re talking about the pairing of the peach with the amaretto, or the peach with the ginger, you’ll get an exquisite lusciousness. Both variations use the gluten-free, dairy-free buttery shortbread recipe I use in my chocolate-filled pecan sandies and my dark chocolate thumbprint cookies.

Read MoreThanksgiving Bread Stuffing Cups
The debate is long lived. Some say stuffing is different from dressing, some argue they’re the same thing. I don’t really think about it much and love them both, and to me Thanksgiving “isn’t” without this side dish. I’ve put a spin on it this year, making stuffing cups instead of putting it into the turkey … with great results!
Read MoreChocolate Ganache Pumpkin Pie
I’ve put a little “black tie” action on our pumpkin pie by adding a layer of rich dark chocolate ganache between a ginger graham cracker crust and creamy, dairy-free pumpkin filling. Oh yeah! All done with the intent of having even more tasty pie options – especially at Thanksgiving and the holidays.
