Macaroon Miracles
Julie | February 25, 2012
A Samoa-like coconut-almond macaroon torte with luscious dark chocolate ganache: a positive miracle of grain-free, dairy-free baking, as far as I am concerned!

Julie | October 17, 2011
I love using every part of a purchase! In this case, the scraps from canning applesauce became apple jelly, and the cores from making dried apple rings became cider vinegar.

The February 2011 Daring Bakers challenge was panna cotta and oatmeal florentine cookies. I made a simple presentation with maple-balsamic caramel, an apple pie panna cotta, and a German chocolate panna cotta cake with yogurt.

An announcement about our son, as well as two coconut flour recipes: basic pancakes and crepes filled with yogurt, almonds and chocolate, or Meyer lemon curd.

Julie | June 8, 2010

Julie | January 27, 2010
The January 2010 Daring Bakers challenge featured nanaimo bars, an iconic Canadian bar cookie that combines graham cracker crumbs, chocolate, coconut, almonds, and frosting. Very nearly too sweet, even for me, but still oddly addictive.
