Talk To Me Cupcake! Tasty Bites, Gluten Free!

Talk To Me Cupcake! Tasty Bites, Gluten Free! by kathy gori

I love cup cakes. They're so innocent. begging me to eat them. I especially love mini cup cakes, mini anything actually. To me mini = guilt free. I know in the "reality based community", this is a bunch of horse pucky, but one can dream. The last time I made Gujarati steamed chickpea bread I wondered since it's so good savory, how…

My Non-Semolina Experiment. Show Me The Pudding! by kathy gori

Rava Sheera is a traditional South Indian dessert. A rich creamy pudding with cashews and raisins,it's traditionally served with a dab of Shir-kand (sweetened condensed yogurt).

A Showstopper Dessert Made Easy!

A Showstopper Dessert Made Easy! by kathy gori

Gluten Free Dumpling Delights! Sweets Without The Wheat! by kathy gori

Ice Cream, The Orange Blossom Special!

Ice Cream, The Orange Blossom Special! by kathy gori

Who doesn't love the smell of orange blossoms, the one flower that's almost a metaphor for romance. I wore orange blossoms in my hair when I got married. As for ice cream, do we really need to go there? I love vanilla, well, hell I love all ice cream but I really love vanilla with some sort of twist. I find ice cream is a great way…

Simple Sweet Rice Dessert

Simple Sweet Rice Dessert by kathy gori

It stormed and blew all day yesterday in Sonoma. Patsy was packed off to dog camp for the day at Vintage Kennel Club. Huskys need a lot of exercise and for the last couple of weeks the dog park has been closed due to sodden turf.
