Guess what? Guess what?! My mom, husband, and I all made it to Day 10 on the Whole30. I think we are all pretty proud of ourselves this morning that we are a third of the way there. As my mother said this morning, "happy 1/3 day!". I would like to think that we are through the worst of it at this point as well.
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Superbowl weekend! I know Adam and I
did. I work in retail and somehow I was able to get the entire weekend
off! Crazy I know! So, we decided to spend some quality time socializing
our dogs, doing some lazy grocery shopping at Horrocks, and, to make
Sunday really special, put some mulled wine into a crock pot and snack
on goodies all day! Which I'm pretty sure is exactly what 80% of the
population was doing that day too -- just drinking and eating!
This no bake tart is a perfect dessert for Valentines Day! It hits all of the dietary categories: paleo, vegan, and gluten free. Not that you would be able to tell with how rich and decadent it is. It is virtually guilt free with a no-bake chocolate crust just sweetened with a little maple syrup filled with a dark chocolate vegan ganache and topped off with just the right amount of raspberry preserves.
Can I start this post off with an "ugh", please!? I seriously am just overcoming the worst cold I have had in a very very long time. My mother says it's what I get for living in Florida and not being sick for over a year! ;)
Thank goodness my mother left us ample amounts of rhubarb to be able to expand upon the normal rhubarb recipes that we usually. This year we got to try something new. This recipe turned out to be soooooo good! Of course we are always big fans of anything that includes cream cheese. Seriously, what more could you ask for in a dessert!?
We've moved!! I can't believe everything that is happening in life right now. It started with my computer crashing and then everything went crazy! We moved to Michigan. I am soooo glad to be back in the midwest. Some days it feels like we never left. Also, I am happy to finally be able to announce that we are getting married in only 65 days! A small intimate ceremony on a mountain top!
Today's guest post is from the lovely, beautiful, and wonderful mother of A Dash of Delish! She has been so kind to take the time to write, cook, photograph and enjoy this dessert recipe for me while my computer has been on the fritz! Here is to hoping that my computer will be fixed by the end of this evening! I hope you all enjoy this decadent post!
These things are mighty amazing if I do say so myself. It's got butter, -- one of my favorites if you haven't figured that out by now ;] -- pecans, and a bit of gluten-free flour mixture. Plus they are rolled in confectioners' sugar for the final step. I don't know how something could sound much better. They seemed to make good Christmas presents too. Lucky for me since I was going for the homemade touch type gifts this year.
I hope everyone had a great and Merry Christmas!! Mine was quiet but warm! Some people may be jealous of that fact but it's just not the same without a cold, white Christmas and a loud (sometimes bickering) family. ;] I know that it's technically past Christmas day but it's not past New Years. New Years parties require just as many goodies as Christmas parties do! Therefore, today I have for you a traditional spritz cookie recipe but of course it is a gluten-free version!
Here is a delicious cookie for day 2 of the Valentine's Day Special! You all should be proud because despite the fact that I didn't get these blogs posted when I wanted…they are still being posted before Valentine's day!! I had a lot of fun making these cookies. Adam even helped out a little and gave me a rare opportunity to get some "action" shots and to sneak a couple of my handsome man as well!
Happy Halloween everyone!!! I've been wanting to post this recipe for a while now and I finally have the perfect day to do so. Also, how can I not do a typical fall post!? This recipe is for the ultimate pumpkin lovers out there. It's a pumpkin cupcake with pumpkin frosting on the top. It's pumpkin everything to the max! Even I could barely handle it but I'm sure that if you're a pumpkin lover that this is going to be one of the best pumpkin recipes on the market.
HaPpY BiRtHdAy to MoM, HaPpY BiRtHdAy to MoM, HaPpY BiRtHdAy dear…. It's my mom's birthday!!! She may think she's another year older but in my mind she's another year younger! ;) It's not a birthday without a birthday cake. When I asked my mom what she wanted she said a chocolate cake that's fluffy. I took that to mean that she pretty much wanted a regular chocolate cake but of course gluten-free and boy did I deliver! The taste of this cake is no different I swear. If you sampled it on the street you'd have no idea it was gluten-free I kid you not. Even my dad said he couldn't tell!
