Light As Air Pumpkin Cake | Gluten-Free

I went to the mall this weekend.  They were playing Christmas carols.  I spent my ride home singing “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” without realizing what was going on.  They inadvertently hijacked my holiday spirit. Crafty.

Why do we have to rush through this holiday season?  I still have my jack o’lantern on the porch.  Chill.  We’ve got time.  Let’s not rush things.  I’ve still got pumpkin recipes for you!  I am not ready to switch to egg nog (least of all because it’s awful).  Fall has barely arrived.  I just want to relish in cinnamon and cloves and all that this season has to offer before I am bombarded by peppermint, blow-up snowmen and Mall Santas.  We will get there.  All in due time.

Zucchini Lasagne | Gluten Free

I love lasagne.  It’s bubbly cheesy goodness, it’s wonderfully savory sauce and all of its hearty comfort. Italian food feels very comforting to me.  When I was sick, my Dad would always make me pastina with butter and cheese or lentil soup with pasta shells.  My Italian grandmother is also a mean cook!  Her lasagne actually has meatballs inside of it.  Does that sound amazing?  Yup.  Yup, it is.

Ever since becoming gluten free, I have not had this wonderful dish.  I couldn’t find the motivation to create it with rice or corn or quinoa noodles.  I felt like it would be a disappointment, and might turn out to be the mushy counterpart to my Grandmother’s lasagne.  Don’t get me wrong, I do indulge in gluten free pasta now and then, and it can be quite tasty, but it can also be finicky and unfriendly.

Pumpkin Custard Cake With Chocolate Chunks| Gluten Free

So, the season is here!  The season where pumpkin is suddenly inserted into everything.  The pumpkin spice late is back.  You walk into the grocery store and are met with towers of canned pumpkin, strategically placed next to the whipped cream.  My pinterest board (as well of those of my friends) is full up with pumpkin cakes and cookies and carving methods.  I feel like I should almost be capitalizing it. PUMPKIN!!  Lets just scream it out. PUMPPPKINNN!!! Huzzah. […]
