One more batch...

Another one of Elana's Pantry recipes: Dairy-free, gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. Ok, I think I'm good for now, time for a gluten-free break as I have some new books and magazines with recipes I want to try. These were good and were a hit at the office; very moist and it was my first time using almond flour - delicious but expensive!

More gluten-free goods...

So I'm currently obsessed with Elana's Pantry recipes. I still have a few more I want to try. These Blueberry Muffins took 10 minutes to make and were really good, although not as good the next day. So far, I've noticed gluten-free recipes have a shorter shelf life than regular baking; I saved a couple for breakfast and the muffin liners were difficult to peel off. Better as a bake-and-eat treat.

Cheesecake in Mexico

One of my favourites - Mexican style! Sampled at the Playacar Palace {which I loved!} while away this past April. My final baking class will now be in September, but the good news is I have a new kitchen {and new home} so a lot more baking coming soon...as soon as I figure out how to use my gas stove.

Cookies & cream

I love the photography in Martha Stewart's cookbooks, so there are a few recipes I've been inspired to try. These Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes are from Martha Stewart's Cupcakes. They were very simple to make: cream cheese, sugar, salt, sour cream, eggs, vanilla & of course, crushed Oreos, are mixed and poured into cupcake liners that each have an Oreo placed in them. Baked, cooled and refrigerated until set. That's it! {and so good...}
