My Grandma’s Apple Crisp
Growing up, apple crisp was my favorite dessert that my Grandma made. I’ve made this countless times in my adult years–every fall when apple season starts. I’ve cut down the sugar a bit from the original recipe and I think it’s better this way. I don’t want it too sweet, especially if you top it […]
Pumpkin Bread
One of my favorite things to bake in the fall is pumpkin bread. I got this recipe over 10 years ago from my husband’s coworker’s wife. I had made pumpkin bread that turned out just OK and then we had guests over for Thanksgiving and she was one of them. She brought over pumpkin bread […]
Pumpkin Pancakes
Fall is here and that means pumpkin everything! I created this recipe for Pumpkin Pancakes from a couple of other pancake recipes I had been using, and I adapted this using GF flour and canned pumpkin. I have made these with both brown sugar and coconut sugar and brown sugar gives these much better flavor. […]

Waffles
I love waffles or pancakes on a weekend morning, and my little 3 year old loves to help! This particular recipe comes from my great aunt Norma. The original recipe is of course made for regular flour but I have always made it with GF flour, even before my celiac diagnosis, because the texture is […]
Kristin’s 1234 Cupcakes
Yesterday I turned 40! It feels strange to have entered a new decade. In celebration of my birthday I had to make vanilla cupcakes with sprinkles, my absolute favorite, to share with my friends and keep in the freezer when a craving strikes. This recipe is my favorite if I have to make my own […]
Granny’s No-Bake Cheesecake
Both my and my husband’s grandmas used to make this super easy no-bake cheesecake. My husband remembers this cheesecake pie vividly from his childhood, always made by his Granny, hence the name. He talked about this cheesecake for YEARS not knowing how to make it or what it was called, even asking family members, and […]
Strawberry Crumble Bars
My aunt gave me the original recipe for these bars, I made a couple tweaks and now have these delicious, summery bars that can be made year round! Any kind of strawberry jam will work. I used Danish Orchards because it isn’t too sweet. These can be made either with fresh strawberry slices if they […]
Best Sugar Cookies
Thanks to Iowa Girl Eats, this is the hands-down best GF sugar cookie recipe for drop and cut-out cookies that I have ever tried, and it’s the only one I’ll use now. Keep in mind that GF flour can be trickier to work with than standard wheat flour. GF flour is stickier and since it […]
Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
I tried a few different gluten free cookie recipes and melded them into my own recipe for the perfect GF chocolate chip cookies. This dough is super versatile! I actually don’t always use plain ol’ chocolate chips. Sometimes I’ll use half chocolate chips/half peanut butter chips (as shown below), Heath pieces, M&M’s, Reese’s pieces, or […]
