Chocolate Pudding with Whipped Topping, both Vegan and Gluten-Free!
Well, it’s our last Element of our Element theme month post, Air! Let’s face it, my air options were fairly limited, unless I wanted to get all lawyerly and make up an argument about why some ingredient was air related. And so as not to subject you all to that, I made a chocolate pudding…

Fried Apple Rings with Powdered Sugar
So, it’s warmer here in New Hampshire than it normally is. There’s been no hard freeze. So I still have apples on trees that are usable. Therefore, the apple apocalypse continues. Since I am drowning in apples, guess what? I decided to incorporate apples into comfort food month. Fried food is also in the pantheon…

Apples Flambe
So it’s still “try a new cooking technique” month here on the blog. This is kind of a hard one for me because the corn allergy has forced me to try a lot of stuff. But one of the ones that I hadn’t tried was flambeing. All my friends had a heart attack about it…

Gluten-free & Vegan Abelskiver (Stuffed Pancakes)

Gluten-free Vegan Almond or Cashew Brownie Cookies
So, back in 2012, I thought I’d achieved brownie nirvana with my At Last Brownies recipe. I’d perfected a “normal” baking brownie in the year before, and this was my great gluten-free version. Then Denise posted her Killer Brownies recipe, adjusted for her then-allergies. Lately, neither of these versions is working great for me. I…

Whoopie Pies – Gluten-Free with Vegan Option
To cap off our Treat. Yo. Self. January. theme, I give you a big treat, Whoopie Pies. I’m fairly certain I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m originally from Maine. The whoopie pie is the official state treat of Maine and apparently the town of Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, has hosted the Maine Whoopie Pie Festival since 2009, according…

Coconut Milk Vegan Fudge
The first recipe I ever perfected was fudge. I admit, part of it had to do with the fact that fudge was something my mom had given up on making well. Starting in about middle school, to judge by the handwriting on the recipe card, I made many batches of fudge each winter. Teachers, family,…
