Well I’ve had a couple of things I needed to do on the gluten-free baking front, one being to work on a new loaf to add to the mix, and a cinnamon raisin loaf seemed like just the thing.
One of the other things on the list was to incorporate chia seeds into more of the [...]
I’ve had another round of bitters in the works, and these pink grapefruit bitters are particularly tasty. I started with a base of Bacardi 151 — one of the few overproof rums available to us up here, and one that is too fiery to successfully use blended in cocktails. What else to do with a [...]
Ive been playing around with the Timtana flour and the gluten-free recipes from Healthy Bread in 5 Minutes per day for a little bit now. The basic recipes all use eggs in them, and I decided I would like to try and make them vegan for those unable to eat eggs.
My first attempts used Ener-g [...]
For all you Valentine revelers, here’s a Valentine’s cocktail that Cupid himself might like to kick back with. If you have a date for Valentine’s, enjoy, knowing that Cupid is getting his vacay time in. If you are flying solo for Valentine’s, take comfort in the fact that Cupid is on the beach in [...]
… see, food can help in all kinds of ways!
Shortly after the tragic earthquake in Haiti, Lauren, from Celiacteen put out a call that she wanted to publish an e-book to help raise funds for earthquake relief in Haiti. She has single-handedly pulled together an amazing book with 87 different recipes in it — doing [...]
The experimenting with Timtana flour continues! I’m about half-way through the sample package I received and so far, I’m finding I like this flour a lot in yeast-raised bread products, with one major exception… this banana bread!

I loathe [...]
Ive been doing a few trials with this new Timtana flour (for more on the flour, see my post from a couple of days ago), and while I don’t think its suited for more delicate baking, it works well in many of the yeast-raised breads and the more hearty quickbreads.
I tried some out a couple [...]
Another Thursday Drink Night — Last night’s theme was nuts: liqueurs made from nuts, nut infused booze, and more nuts. Go check them all out, make some for yourself and and vote for your favourite!
I’m not a big nut liqueur fan, usually finding them too sweet and cloying, so this was a bit more of [...]
So I received a new flour in the mail a couple of days ago: Timtana flour, made by Montana Gluten-free Processors (in Montana of course!). I’ve been waiting with some interest to see what it would look like and more importantly, what it would be like to bake with.
The Timtana flour comes from the seeds [...]
So this month’s Daring Bakers Challenge was brought to us by Lauren over at Celiac Teen who threw down the gauntlet for folks to not only embrace the gluten-free, but also to embrace the uniquely Canadian treat known as Nanaimo bars (from scratch of course!). If you haven’t done so already, go check out Lauren’s [...]
