20 min. Yeast-Free, Gluten-Free Italian Bread & Easy Mezzetta Olive Tapenade

Posted by
My favorite holiday memories are of having lots of family and friends over for big meals. I love doing the cooking, preparing holiday recipes, the noise and laughter in the house, and of course, eating the food. I've happily adapted most of my old recipes to gluten-free but I had one more challenge. I was missing crusty chewy   Italian bread that I could make into Crostini! I've always loved warm toasted chewy bites of Italian bread at holiday parties. Topped with Tapenade or made into Bruschetta, they are my favorite appetizers, but I hadn't quite found the right gluten-free flour blend to achieve that wonderful chewiness, until now! I'm so excited to share my NEW 20-minute Gluten-free, Yeast-free, Egg-Free, and Xanthan Gum-Free Italian Bread Rolls with you and did I say, they only take 20 minutes? No yeast, no rising and so easy to make. This amazing dough is also perfect patted out thin for flatbread or pizza crust. Scroll down to see my new Pizza crust u

Lovely Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies, grain free, gluten free

Posted by

I'm a cookie monster from way way back, and I've tried my darndest to make a good sugar free cookie, but it's really hard to do!
You can't get that crisp edge without a some sugar caramelization and what's a chocolate chip cookie without that crunch?
So, what do you do when you crave a healthy cookie?
Well, what I do,  is use organic cane sugar or honey so that at least there are no GMO's in my lovely cookies.
Then I make them grain free so they are lower in carbs, and then- I just relax and enjoy!
