For these gluten free chocolate coated donuts we are giving a huge shout out to Simply Delish for this recipe inspiration! Full disclosure – we joined the Simply Delish affiliate program which essentially entails them sending us a box of their gluten/dairy-free pudding and jel boxed mixes every few months, and us coming up with recipes that involve those boxed mixes as an ingredient every month, so you’ll see a few other Simply Delish-inspired recipes on here once in a while! This one uses their vanilla pudding boxed mix (a good staple to have in the pantry!) and if you’re into it, use our specific link here to go check out their products, and…

Gluten Free Chocolate Mousse Cake
Chocolate mousse. That lighter-than-air, seemingly miraculous dessert that’s the stuff of high-end restaurants and single-serve custard cups of sublime chocolatey goodness. I’d always balked at the idea of making it at home – intimidated by the technique or what I thought I needed to do to make it. But there are many ways to make a mousse! (feels like that should be a saying…) and this one is gosh darn easy as pie (or cake). In times of isolation and social distancing, tracking those “safe” friends/folks in your bubble and making plans to get gussied up and cook a fancy meal add a bit more excitement to the COVID life.…

Gluten Free Pumpkin Swiss Roll with Pumpkin Spice Gold Milk
This year has been a YEAR already and we’re still a few months away from the dawn of a new one. But this year has also had it’s positive notes – one of which is meeting kindred spirits through baking, both in the activism sphere that allows us to connect and pursue justice and change, and others that focus on bettering our craft and collaborating in new ways that challenge us. We’ve been lucky enough to forge friendships with many new folks, including Erin Creeks of Basil and Beauty who embarked on a food photography journey around the beginning of the shut down and created marvelous dishes, desserts, drinks, smudge…

Gluten Free Caramel Apple Brandy Bundt Cake
This may be the best bundt I’ve ever made. Bold statement, I know, but so far I’ve eaten four slices of this cake since finishing the photoshoot and honestly, if it wasn’t 10pm and if I wasn’t already way too tired thinking about work tomorrow, I’d walk the 20 feet to the kitchen and sneak a 5th. It has apples (loads of them – both in chunked and grated form for maximum moistness), it has Calvados, a gorgeously-apply French apple brandy, it has fall spices, and it is absolutely soaked in a caramel apple brandy glaze. You heard that all correctly. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for but it…

Chewy Gluten Free Pistachio Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Green has almost always been my favorite color. Pink was the star of the show when I was in about 1st grade and, upon moving into a new house in Eagle Point, Oregon, I was given the massive responsibility of choosing a color for carpet in my room (out of some of the cheaper options) that my dad installed along with all of the other work my parents did on that house by hand. A deep pink was the winner, though I questioned my choice years later when I was stuck with it and had shifted back into blues and greens (my sister apparently had the foresight to choose a…

Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake with Chocolate Ganache
October (at least here in the States) is all about pumpkins. A bit of a strange. American obsession, much like peanut butter or butting into Latin American governments or personal reusable water bottles or systemic racism. At least pumpkin, and pumpkin spice everything, is a bit more pleasant than some of those others. And with the christening of PSL (pumpkin spice latte) season upon us, we’re now getting to work developing all-new pumpkin recipes that are fun twists on classics or just straight up experiments that push the envelope of what pumpkin can be (the answer? everything). That humble, bulbous, vegetable is now the celebrity of an entire season, gracing…
