Got Beans? You Got Cookies! Coconut Macaroons Go Vegan!

Posted by admin on

A few years back, I was hired to design a gluten-free menu for a local restaurant here in Sonoma. I'm not gluten-free personally but so many friends of mine are that I got into the habit of just cooking that way. Also, my years of Indian cooking with it's large numbers of naturally gluten-free dishes gave me a lot of experience working with gluten-free flours and ingredients. Then came aquafaba (aka Bean Water) and a whole world of gluten-free/vegan ideas emerged.

Posted by admin on

Hand puppets and finger puppets are found in classrooms with young kids for dramatic play. I have made hand puppets either out of socks or brown paper bags and my students loved making finger puppets out of pipe cleaners.

I love to find classroom organization ideas. As an Amazon affiliate, I may earn a commission for purchases using my links. Learn more. I love to see the wide range of puppets that...

Gluten-Free Blueberry Waffle Recipe (With Optional Lemony Twist)

Posted by admin on

Some people have throw pillows that they change based on their mood – I have waffle flavors. We’re talking classic-style, chocolate, pumpkin spice, and of course this sweet and slightly tart blueberry recipe.  Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these gluten-free blueberry waffles are made with a simple (yet delicious) batter with juicy blueberries folded in. And unlike many recipes, they come out light and airy without extra steps like whipping egg whites.  These waffles are perfect for a relaxed brunch, but they can also be frozen and then popped in a toaster oven for a quick...
