Gluten-free No-Toaster Pastries with Frosting
It’s still comfort food month. Trying to find foods that are comforting that are safe is kind of hard. In the long, long ago before food allergies, I ate a lot of PopTarts. I ate them when I was too tired, too sick or too aggravated to cook. I ate them for breakfast frequently so…

Guest Post: Pasta Bake
Can I admit I punted on this one? My big plan for Comfort Food month was set back in August. I was going to do MY best comfort food, potatoes, and then one from my neighborhood — I was going to learn to make ramen. There is a line of gluten-free ramen noodles that I…

MaryKate’s Favorite Baked Potatoes
Back in January when Denise and I outlined our year, I knew that “comfort food month” would include potatoes. My absolute go-to whenever I want comfort food is some form of potato. For me, the fries at 5 Guys are safe, so on a road trip, I’m likely to hit them up. I have made…

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…

Orange Chai Spiced Wine
To set the scene, it’s New Hampshire. It’s December. We got about a foot of snow in the past week and we’re expected to get a bit more soon. It’s freaking cold. So I need a hot drink, preferably with alcohol. I’ve been seeing posts about chai hot chocolate and hot chocolate red wine, but…
