Lime Lollipops
This recipe is part of my campaign to get some candy back in my life, although in all likelihood, at a much reduced rate of intake than was so prior to the corn thing. To start out with, I used a recipe for No Corn Syrup Lollipops from Snappyliving.com, but since I can’t use artificial…

Quick Chocolate Bites
So the holiday season has brought with it the groaning tables of baked goods and candies, both homemade and not, and none suitable for the food allergic. So it’s time to make your own! I’ve made a few recipes of gluten-free vegan cookies, with mixed results (all edible, none outstanding, none of the recipes my…

Fruit-Flavored Gummy Candy
So, before the whole corn and coconut thing, I was an aficionado of fruit flavored pure sugar candy. If it had fake coloring, fake fruit flavors and was primarily made of out sugar (meaning corn syrup), then I was your girl. Skittles, Nerds, Sour Neon Gummy Worms, Sour Gummi Watermelon Slices, Jolly Ranchers, Starbursts (particularly…

July 4th is a barbeque holiday, yes, (though why independence and charred tubes of mystery meat are so closely inter-related I will never understand), but we’ve covered barbeque pretty well up…

The humidity and corresponding air quality in New Hampshire has been known to send me right into an asthma attack.…

Post 100: The Magic of the Chocolate Chip.
Because it’s Earth Day, and it’s our 100th post, we thought we should make cookies. Because cookies are round, like the Earth. And because making cookies and giving them to people makes you a hero. Or just sharing — you don’t have to give them all away, promise. You can eat them, too. Cookies are…

Happy President’s Day, Bread and Chocolate with Cherries
And this is take two on cherries for our President’s day theme. Cherries go with chocolate. And there’s a place in Concord, New Hampshire that sells a pastry called Bread & Chocolate that I’ve been trying to replicate since the dairy allergy diagnosis, so I decided to add cherries to the mix this time. This…
