Gluten Free White Spaghetti with Prosciutto Recipe

Spaghetti is dressed in a rich sauce of butter, cream and milk and tossed with lots of pepper and a sprinkling of prosciutto in this elegant pasta dish!

Serves 4

White Spaghetti with Prosciutto 

This White Spaghetti is one of those quick dishes that I reach for when we need something wholesome and filling in a hurry. It's a nod to spaghetti carbonara, but it's different in itself. I love the flavor of the smoked garlic with the cream and then all the pepper makes it slightly fiery and very sophisticated. The cheese helps to keep little ones interested and the prosciutto adds a nice touch of salt without being overpowering.

This would make an excellent dish when you have company--not a dinner party dish, necessarily, but when you find yourself unexpectedly entertaining. You could swap the prosciutto for flaked fresh tuna or boiled paper-thin discs of new potatoes. I know what you're thinking, potatoes and pasta?! Sacrebleu! But trust me, it would taste phenomenal.

Back to the recipe, though, you'll love this spaghetti. The punch of garlic, the ballsy pepper and the sweet cream and milk and rich butter...they all combine to make an indulgent plate of comfort food.

Gluten Free Tipsy Caramel Apple Popcorn with Apple-Infused Vodka Recipe

Sweet apple leather, cinnamon, vanilla sugar and a syrup of apple-infused vodka coat freshly popped popcorn in this delicious sweet and salty treat!

Serves 2 to 4

Tipsy Caramel Apple Popcorn with Apple-Infused Vodka 

Popcorn is one of my go-to treats. I'm not sure what it is about it, but ever since I was a child, I was obsessed by it and always looked forward to devouring those multi-flavor popcorn tins at Christmastime. This tipsy caramel apple popcorn is a more sophisticated approach on a childhood favorite treat. Delicious popcorn gets dressed in a sweet combo of cinnamon, vanilla sugar and apple vodka syrup. Scatter over some homemade apple leather pieces and you've got a classic on your hands.

If you want to do this recipe justice, there's a bit of advanced prep required for the apple-infused vodka and for the apple leather. I left my vodka and apples infusing for a month for using it in this recipe. Alternatively, Apple Bite vodka would work if you're in a pinch.

I made this for an afternoon snack but it'll go down well at a Christmas party or even, if you package it nicely, as a Christmas present! I popped my own popcorn for this recipe, but if you prefer, it tastes just as well with microwave popcorn. Just make sure your get sweet and not buttery or salty popcorn. And while this recipe contains alcohol, the cooking of the syrup burns off the alcohol. However, you may decide to reserve this specific batch of popcorn as an adults only treat.

Gluten Free Tiramisu "Oreo" Truffles Recipe

This divinely indulgent dessert is a cinch to make! Chocolate cookie crumbs are mixed with mascarpone cheese and covered in milk chocolate then sprinkled with more cookie crumbs and instant coffee.

Makes 30 truffles

Tiramisu Oreo Truffles 

Tiramisu is the veritable nectar of the gods. And don't even get me started on chocolate sandwich cookies. There's not many wrongs that these humble cookies can't right. Combine the two and you've got an utterly indulgent dessert. But this is the kind of dessert I love. There's no baking! And only four ingredients! And no proper measuring, either. It's a bona fide, hands-off classic that's full of flavor. Something that tastes this good but requires virtually no effort is a ... culinary weapon of mass destruction.

This recipe started with our monthly trip to Costco. En route to the diapers, we passed a chocolate sandwich cookie display. A box of 20 packs. Each pack containing 6 cookies. Even for me and the toddler, that's a lot of cookies to get through. Still, I couldn't resist the cheap price and the lure of having a mountain of cookies on hand. A few days after procuring the cookie goldmine and only nibbling my way through a measly one packet, my husband requested a dessert for a work Christmas party. Huzzah! Out came the cookies and on went the thinking cap and these little spheres of delight were born.

They are truly delicious, guys. Two adults and a toddler gobbled up half of these in a single weekend. Make loads and be prepared to share the recipe, because anyone who takes a bite of these is going to want to make them for themselves!

How to Add Recipe Rich Pins the Easy Way!

Written by: Anyonita Green on 12/5/2103

Pinterest Rich Pins are pins on steroids. They include vital information that you'll want pinners to see and displays it in a structured format.

Instead of populating the pin description box with information you want all pinners to see, such as ingredients or cooking time, you can leave this information to the rich pin format.

Rich pins are also valuable for bloggers because they automatically update themselves when changes are made on the page that they are linked to. Rich pins also make it easy for pinners to identify your brand and encourages them to visit your blog. Think of rich pins like a teaser: pinners will see the basic information (the ingredients in the recipe) for the instructions, they are encouraged to and they must click on the pin and visit your website, fostering a boost in traffic.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to easily incorporate rich pins on your blog in a few simple steps.

Individual Baked Gluten Free Brioche French Toast with Pecan Praline Recipe

This French toast is lovely and rich and oven-baked for a crispy top and slightly gooey center. This gluten and dairy-free breakfast is perfect for Christmas Eve!

Serves 2

Individual Baked Brioche French Toast with Pecan Praline 

Let me deconstruct this for you: warm, vanilla brioche wrapped in a blanket of soft egg with almond milk, cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla all sitting beneath a crunchy pecan praline with brown sugar and maple syrup. This French toast recipe is divine. It's easy to make, too and since you just pop it in the oven, you don't have to stand over a skillet, waiting to turn egg and milk-soaked slices of bread.

For me, that's always the tricky part of traditional French toast (or eggy bread, as it's called here in the UK)--trying to flip it over without tearing it. With this method, though, you let the bread soak up some of the sweet egg and milk mixture and then cover it with praline and into the oven it goes! It really couldn't be any easier.

This is the type of recipe that would be great shared with a family over the holidays. Can you imagine putting this on the table for Christmas Eve breakfast? I can guarantee this, if you do, it will get devoured. My husband, who doesn't even like French toast, wolfed his down. And my soon-to-be two year old son, had his breakfast and then part of mine! This is a great family recipe and so long as you use gluten-free brioche and dairy-free butter, it's completely gluten and dairy free!

This recipe was adapted from Shopgirl Maria.

Gluten Free Vegan Honeyed Avocado Ice Cream

Christmas Spiced Nutella Cocoa with Gluten Free Gingersnap Rimmer Recipe

This hot cocoa is made with velvety Nutella and finished with a crunch of festive gingersnap rimmer!

Serves 2

Christmas Spiced Nutella Cocoa with Gingersnap Rimmer 

Take a basic hot cocoa to the next level with a rimmer made from gingersnap cookies! I used Nutella for the cocoa because there's no easier way to make cocoa than by using Nutella! It's already soft-set so all you need to do is warm it. No mysterious powders, no spending ages melting chocolate on the stove, either.

 While I love clearly love Nutella cocoa (proof, proof and proof), the best bit about this particular cocoa recipe is the gingersnap rimmer! It adds a nice crunch and an unexpected Christmas-y flavor to the drink. I served my cocoa with a dollop of whipped cream, but this is completely optional.
