Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Bars - Vegan & Gluten-Free



The perfect combination of peanut butter cups and chocolate covered pretzels.
If you are craving a rich indulgent treat that is both vegan and gluten-free, this is for you!  My family goes crazy for these.  They are sweet, a little salty, creamy,crunchy, peanut buttery and chocolaty.  Beware - they are highly addictive!

 Watch how I make this recipe in the video below:

Pumpkin Pecan Crisp (Gluten Free)


This is the time of year when Pinterest and magazines are covered with every kind of pumpkin recipe you can imagine. Everything from muffins and pies to creamy lattes. So many warm and cozy comforting foods to try!
This recipe is basically a "dump cake" - which really just means you dump the ingredients (or layer them) into the baking pan. Dump cakes were so popular a few years back and this one definitely deserves a try. I have made it many times over the years and everyone loves it - even the non-pumpkin eaters that I know scarf this up!
I found the original recipe in the pages of Southern Living Magazine years ago. This is my Gluten Free version which is just as wonderful and easy. Much more scrumptious than any pumpkin pie!

Mocha Almond Nice Cream


If you haven't tried Nice Cream you are really missing out!
If you love soft serve ice cream - this is the guilt free alternative.
Made with bananas, it is creamy and sweet without cream or refined sugar.
It may be Fall, but in Texas it is hot and I still want my Nice Cream!

Italian Cream Cupcakes (Gluten Free)


Moist cakes topped with a lucious pecan and coconut cream cheese frosting.  
Irresistible!

The frosting recipe is from the recipe for "Billie's Italian Cream Cake" in the Pioneer Woman Cooks.  I made this cake for my mom's birthday and it has been requested by my husband and son for their birthdays too.  I like the cupcake version, because I can freeze them and have them ready for those times when my son needs a gluten free treat to take along to a restaurant or event where I know there will not be a gluten free dessert option. 
They freeze beautifully!

Fruit and Custard Pie


This is my version of a favorite from my husband's family in Switzerland.
It is called Wahe. 
You can use any fresh fruit in this recipe.  
Peaches, apricots, plums, and any type of berries are wonderful.
My mother in law serves this as a light dinner - 
which we also love to do, especially in the summer.
It also makes a great dessert.

This is my gluten free version.
