Tiffany’s Gluten Free Bread

I made Tiffany’s Gluten Free Bread on Friday. It is the best gluten-free bread we’ve had. It was lighter, fluffier and better tasting than any others. We love the corn flavor and the texture was soft and chewy. I’d recommend that you check it out! The recipe calls for 2 eggs. Since we can’t do [...]

One could reduce the coconut oil and increase the honey to increase the overall sweetening. 1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon coconut oil 2/3 cup raw honey (or agave, though not recommended) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon [...]

Apple-Sweet Potato-Pumpkin Muffins: Date Sweetened, Gluten-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free

I’ve been playing around with my agave-sweetened muffins for awhile now to make them fruit-sweetened. We are using less and less agave these days and turning toward fruit for sweetening. These muffins are sweetened with date sugar and applesauce. This makes a BIG batch — can easily be halved. I like to make it big [...]

Chicken Ginger Soup

Yesterday, I boiled a chicken with ginger in the water to make a delicious ginger chicken stock. After the chicken was cooked, I took it out and added brown basmati rice to the water. Then when that was done, I took the meat from the chicken and added it back in. During the day, I [...]

Pumpkin Seed Butter, Raw

Last week, I tried a corner of a friend’s pumpkin seed butter-n-honey sandwich. It was good! I have never thought to make pumpkin seed butter before. But after tasting it, I was determined to try! I have to say that while making it there was a distinct smell and it reminded me of baby food [...]

After Jesus’ death and resurrection, God released His people from the food rules of the Old Testament. …there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Yet if your brother is [...]
