Blondies are a sometimes food. For me, sometimes means once a year. When I really need a baked good pick-me-up for morale, I make these. Or, each time I see Marcona Almonds at the grocery store, which seems to be about once an autumn. This time it was the double whammy of seeing Marcona almonds, […]

Gluten-free Chocolate Orange Scones
We have a winner! Thanks again to Equal Exchange for sponsoring the chocolate giveaway hosted here on Bake This Day. We champion creativity on this blog, we like to do things a little differently— Izzy let us know she was mad the contest wasn’t open to dog entrants, so we let her choose the winner. […]
Buckwheat Chocolate Torte
It’s my birthday week! Among my favorite gifts rolling in was this generous box of bittersweet chocolate baking bars from Sarris Chocolates, to whom I dedicate this post. I decided to use the bars to bake a healthy chocolate torte with buckwheat. Gluten-free dessert that tastes amazing! Such a success. Last time I tried to […]

On the prompting of Nuts.com, a site which Mom said she frequents, and surprisingly, as a future psychiatrist, one I had not yet come across, […]

I am ever flummoxed that one’s mastery of understanding a medical specialty can be assessed by one hundred arbitrary multiple choice questions. For the next […]
Gluten-Free Raspberry-Ginger Muffins
Let me be clear. I absolutely believe in gluten. BUT, I honor those around me who believe differently and who are biologically intolerant. I have now several times brought my baked goods to parties where they are not welcome. SO, I have decided to conduct a few trial runs in the world of gluten-free baking. […]
Buckwheat Pancakes
Buckwheat is merely grain-like, more related to rhubarb than to wheat. It is gluten free, as are these pancakes en totale. This is was my first buckwheat experience. If you had asked me to describe buckwheat prior to today, I would have probably stuck out my front two teeth and whistled out the side. Buckwheat […]
