Homemade frosting is a delicious and decadent treat that is easy to make. Great frosting can enhance a store-bought goodie or finish the finest of your homemade desserts.
Both the lemon and cinnamon versions of this frosting are delicious on carrot or spice cake. For an easy dessert, make a batch of Namaste Spice Cake and frost with homemade frosting. The cake mix can be made as a spice cake or a carrot cake and is delicious as cupcakes. Another easy-to-make and delicious cake mix is from Pamela’s Products. Pamela’s also has a terrific frosting mix, if you don’t want to make your frosting from scratch.

My baking life changed for the better when I realized that some of the canned frostings were gluten free (I use Betty Crocker). When they go on sale, I buy a few cans of various colors and flavors and keep them in my pantry. Most versions are gluten and dairy free but make sure to read the labels carefully before making your purchase. Of course, it is very easy to make your own frosting, but something about the ease of the can makes it even so much less daunting to make a baked good. Or in the case of these cookies, assemble a baked good (you don’t even need to bake!). Read More »

It’s texture is wonderful and very similar to banana bread. Read More »
I get given boxes of chocolates by my mother-in-law occasionally, but they always have wheat in. Added to that the amount of dairy in chocolates is enough to cause me trouble. I used to squeeze all the chocolates in a mixed box to find the ones that were firm (fortunately husband loves soft-centred chocolates) but mostly now I have just given up buying chocolates.
We have had about three hot days this summer, and thoughts turn to ice-cream. I keep coming across people posting about chocolate sorbet. This seemed a great way of having two types of treats at once.
This sorbet is very intense, and one small scoop is enough for me. It would be great with raspberries or other Read More »
