    Gluten and Dairy Free Soft Pumpkin Cookies

    With it being Fall, pumpkin season is in full swing here! I’ve made a few different pumpkin cookies recipes, and these are definitely my favorite! They are really soft with just the right amount of spice. Many people make their own gluten free all purpose flour mix, and I have in the past as well. But lately my go-to gluten free flour is Pamela’s brand. I think it tastes great and bakes well. My husband (who is not gluten free) often says “Wow! These are gluten free?” when I present him with baked treats. You do need to carefully measure your gluten free flour using the scoop and level method.…

    Gluten Free Slow Cooker (or Instant Pot) Lasagna Soup

    It’s soup season!! Soup is great in every season as far as I’m concerned, but as soon as Fall arrives I feel like it’s truly soup season. The other night my husband said he was in the mood for Italian food, and my mind immediately went to lasagna. I love lasagna, but it can be so time consuming to make. And since 2 of my kids are completely gluten and dairy free that adds another challenging element. Fortunately, I’m up for a challenge, and since it’s legit soup season I decided lasagna soup was on the menu. To make this lasagna soup I could have pulled out my instant pot,…

    Gluten and Dairy Free Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

    I have always loved to bake. However, when we learned that our daughters needed to be strictly gluten and dairy free it was a challenging transition. These days it’s almost second nature to me, and it’s hard to remember how overwhelming it was at first. For our Poetry Teatime this week I made gluten and dairy free pumpkin cupcakes with faux cream cheese frosting. I know that not everyone is ready to embrace The Best Season of the Year (aka Fall), but I’ve been ready for weeks. At least I waited until September to break out the Autumn flavors, right?! I baked a test batch first and before adding icing I had everyone try one.…

    Gluten Free Instant Pot Pasta E Fagioli Soup

    This is one of my go-to soups for busy weeknights. Add a green salad and a loaf of gluten free bread, and it’s also a great meal to take to a friend. Actually, this soup is hearty enough to be a meal by itself. If you add the pasta right before you serve it, it holds its shape and texture better. Two of my kids have been strictly gluten and dairy free for years, and I recently found that I need to be gluten free as well. Fortunately there are quite a few great gluten free pastas on the market these days! I have made this with gluten free ditalini,…

    Poetry Teatime!

    It’s been a LONG time since I’ve updated the blog. My younger two will begin 1st grade next week after Labor Day, and we are still homeschooling! One thing that we will be incorporating into our regular weekly schedule is a Poetry Teatime. So, we thought it would be fun to invite my mom over to join us for our first tea party of the school year (a week early.) I made a super yummy and entirely gluten free (and mostly dairy free) spread of fancy tea party foods. We picked some flowers from the backyard and lit a candle. It was all so lovely and we can’t wait for our next…
