CHOCOLATE CINNAMON MACS WITH ORANGE & CHESTNUT
FALLING INTO FALLMy son shakes his head in dismay and disappointment as he stares at the screen. “You are doing it all wrong,” he exclaims, speaking to me as if I was a wayward, naughty child caught with my hand in the cake batter, chocolate smeared across my face. He grabs the laptop and begins to scroll through other blogs that he has discovered, pointing out that I, too, need to reduce my words to the bare minimum and simply offer my readers recipes and only recipes, easy to make, easy to find, easy to access. “Who wants to read through long, rambling stories on a food blog?” I have heard, sadly I might add, the same or something similar from my hu

Chocolate Tres Leches Cake
Article first published as Chocolate Tres Leches Cake on Blogcritics. So with fall upon us, I hesitated about baking this season. It's not so much that I can't really eat all the delicious gluten-laden treats I want to make, but rather I wondered if I could continue baking recipes that I would have made before I became gluten free, with a gluten free spin on them. I shouldn't let the lack of gluten stop me from enjoying myself in the kitchen, right?! Exactly. And with that, I got my baking groove on. I've been meaning to do a chocolate version of the traditional Mexican Tres Leches Cake and I finally did. This Chocolate Tres Leches Cake came out rich

Gluten Free White Sandwich Bread
Article first published as Gluten Free White Sandwich Bread on Blogcritics.It's the simple dishes in life you miss when you're forced to limit what you can eat.

Movie Premier Encounter–Warrior
Last night I watched movie premier of “Warrior” at the Podium, I’m not a fan of UFC and Mixed Martial Arts kind of sports if you can count it as a sports, because I don't see the point of people beating each other up, inflicting what could be permanent brain damage on a complete stranger all for the sake of a monetary prize. But this movie is all about the family, forgiveness, and determination and beating up each other for the big pot money rollup in one great movie. The Story: brothers facing the fight of a lifetime in Lionsgate’s WARRIOR, a moving, inspirational action drama from acclaimed director Gavin O’Connor (Miracle). Haunted by a tragic
