Came across this unusual cinnamon roll recipe in The Fannie Farmer Cookbook where the cinnamon is incorporated inside the dough rather than as a filling. This fascinated me, so I decided to make them to find out what they would be like. In full disclosure, I did change the entire way the dough is prepped […]

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Blueberry Honey Cornbread Muffins
With my current medications, I find that I have to drastically reduce my salt intake to minimize the worst of the side effects. Even that, the side effects are barely manageable. Fortunately, I find that omitting salt in my baked goods (and simply relying on existing salt in the ingredients) doesn’t truly affect their taste […]
Easy Open-Faced Omelet
I find that I use a LOT of aromatics and salt-free seasonings/spices nowadays to boost flavor since I have to drastically cut back my sodium intake (I miss salt!). My go-to aromatics are garlic (my absolute favorite) and sweet onion (you can get a giant bag of the sweet onions at Costco for less than […]
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Lemon Muffins
The main difficulty I had in the past when baking purely with just coconut flour was that the resulting baked goods would come out dense and wet in the center. Is it possible to obtain a tender, fluffy muffin with only coconut flour? Apparently, it is! Using a Keto Lemon Muffins recipe, I made some […]
Blackberry-Citrus Jumbo Muffins
While I definitely have to go without dairy for the rest of my life, excluding gluten from my diet is still not an entirely firm decision (although I have been doing my best to eat gluten-free). Of course, right before I was asked to omit gluten, I had just replenished my pantry with a 12 […]
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Steamed Pandan Cupcakes with Coconut Topping

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Easy Banana Bread
I imagine most households have a favorite, go-to banana bread recipe and when I was still baking with regular wheat flour, I had several that I love to make to use up all those overripe bananas. I’m so glad to discover that by going gluten-free and dairy-free, I won’t be deprived of enjoying a slice […]
Dairy Free, Gluten Free French Toast Casserole
Due to health reasons, I have to avoid dairy and gluten from now on. It has been almost a week and for the first few days, I was at a loss on what to eat, lol. Hopefully, things will get a bit easier as I get used to this new way of life. The hardest […]
Comfort Food – Rice Porridge
Made this when it started getting chillier back in September but honestly, like I need any reason to have porridge, lol. I like my porridge to be on the soupy side…..how about you? And my absolute favorite topping is…….crispy anchovies! Hands down! What’s your favorite topping?
Steamed Pandan Cupcakes
Made these delicious steamed pandan cupcakes bright and early, for a Sunday anyway. 😁 Enjoy! 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/8 tsp baking soda 1/3 cup vegetable oil (plus a little more to oil the custard cups) 1/2 cup unsweetened […]
