Gluten-free Maple Walnut Scones
Honey, honey!
Suza brought honey themed hostess gifts to our Easter Sunday luncheon. (Was it Emily Post who said: take something when you go as a guest, and send a note after you’ve been? Whoever, it’s advice to which I try to adhere: http://www.emilypost.com/social-life/hosts-and-guests/772-should-i-bring-a-hostess-gift .) Continue reading

Gluten-free Lasagne with Spring Vegetables – Splurge and make the pasta from scratch!
We received a beautiful manual pasta maker as a wedding gift. Never used it. After Gus was diagnosed with Celiac Disease I purchased a fancy automated pasta maker, dedicating it exclusively to GF pasta dough. Used it once. Neither made the move when we downsized. In fact both were given away before downsizing was a … Continue reading

Uncle Than’s Vegan Key Lime Cheesecake – a twist on one of our most popular posts!
Nathaniel, “Than”, was the inspiration for intense experimentation with the recipe for Uncle Howard’s Chocolate Ganache Tart. I made variations and he ate most of every flavor we tried (vanilla, cinnamon, espresso, orange, peanut butter, maple, almond ….) A LOT of Ganache Tart! Other friends and family helped, but Than’s appetite for avocado “pie” was … Continue reading
Orange Anise Sweet Rolls
Mary brought me fresh eggs tied with a ribbon this morning. It was the perfect excuse to spend an hour prepping these rolls. I know they’ll be delicious out of the oven, and good reheated or toasted tomorrow. She says she selected her “Silver-laced Wyandottes (“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyandotte (chicken) and “Dominiques” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominique (chicken) for color/curb appeal. The eggs these … Continue reading
