Latke'sThis is a very crispy latke with a small, creamy center. These can be made gluten free and egg free. I strongly prefer the egg replacer over eggs. Egg Replacer is a tapioca starch product that helps bind the potato mixture. It can be found at Natural Food Stores and lasts forever. Read through directions carefully before… |

Chocolate Chip Meringue BarsA different twist on a chocolate chip bar. The egg yolks are used in the dough, and the whites are beaten with brown sugar to make a meringue topping for the bars. Made by his mother, these bars were a childhood favorite of my husband. It was a race to the mailbox when a shoebox full of these bars would be sent to him at… |

Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Bourbon SauceThe photo does not do justice to one of the best desserts I have made. The Pumpkin Bread Pudding melts in your mouth while you inhale the warm spice tones of cinnamon, allspice, ginger and clove. The silky Bourbon Sauce topped the adult's desserts. My husband went for pumpkin overload by adding Pumpkin Ice Cream. This will definitely… |

Homemade Fruit MarshmallowsMarshmallows are fun to make. Vanilla marshmallows are great, but then I thought, why not use fruit purée instead of water? Success!

Gluten Free Almond CrackersThese crackers are full of flavor and much better than store bought. They are a snap to make. I use a silicon mat to roll the dough out on. You can also use a sheet of parchment paper, but I encourage you to invest in a Silpat. They last forever and are very useful. The key is to roll the dough very thinly. You can vary the herbs- use… |
