Finally, my test for strudel dough and phyllo finally worked, not an exact match for the wheat kind, but I can eat this! So adding the recipes to my book, Astoria Mills Gluten Free Baking and Cooking System. Putting on the finishing touches for ya'all. :)

Tell the kids the black bits are witches brew as they probably wouldn’t eat the good for them prunes :) 10 dried apricot halves, 5 whole pitted prunes, 2 teaspoons grated orange peel, ½ cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 teaspoons unsweetened frozen orange juice concentrate, 3 cups icing sugar, 1 cup shredded coconut.

An organic backyard garden! Sounds heavenly doesn’t it?

Every spring I get the hankering to plant a garden. I tried to have a garden in my subdivision home but the top soil was skimmed off by the builders and so although I have dumped bags of peat moss, garden soil, sand and fertilizer on it over the years, the garden is just not what I would call a real garden.

Well I did it; I gave the keynote speech at the Benefits for Women meeting at Caruther’s Creek in Whitby on May 13th about my career as a Photographer, Writer, Artist, and Gluten Free Cookbook Author to other business women like myself. The title was, “Turning Your Passion into Money”

Being gluten intolerant makes breakfast cereals a bit hard to come by at times. I have discovered a neat combo that I like and tastes good. You might like to make it too.

I just cook some rice in coconut milk and water, about half and half. Add a little sugar or honey to taste if you like and a bit of nutmeg. Almost like a version of rice pudding without the milk.

1 cup liquid to ¾ cup rice.

Lorette called me up recently and asked me if she could interview me for an article in Gremolata. I of course said yes and when I found out that Lorette is also on a gluten free diet, I brought along some of my Angel Chiffon Cake.
 
We had a wonderful time over a cup of Lorette's delicious herbal tea blend and munched on cake. If you would like to read the article, here is the link.
 

This is an easy and nutritious meal that can be on the table in under a half hour.

Last week I sponsored a finger food brunch for a local business meeting, Homeowner Services Network. Every now and then I like to show people how good gluten free food can be and also raise awareness.  As part of the menu I took along some of my gluten free Omega 3 and fiber rich loaves with Chia and everyone loved the bread. They were all wheat eaters too, so once again I got to confirm that everyone will love my gf breads.

Last week I received a call from Kristine at GlutenFreeda. She asked me to contribute to their Easter Issue which is going to be called ‘Cooking with the Pros’. Awesome! So I had to put my thinking cap on and come up with a new and delectably irresistible dessert!
