This gluten free easy pot pie recipe transforms leftover beef or chicken stew into a delicious and hearty winter meal. You can also make this ahead of time and freeze for up to six weeks! Can be made as a large pie or as mini pies. I'm so glad it's fall. As I write this, a cinnamon-vanilla scented candle burns near my laptop (but luckily not too near). A bowl of popcorn sits temptingly on the table nearby, left by my roommate with the invitation to help myself. I am trying to resist. ...
Pies and Pastries
Old Fashioned Pumpkin Pie (Refined Sugar Free, No Evaporated Milk)
We used to get sick every year around Christmas time. It’s true there are a lot of colds going around this time of year, as well as a lot of people getting together having parties and such, but there are colds going around for a lot of the year and usually we don’t get sick. It could be all the Vitamin C that we take every time cold season rolls around (though really sometimes I think the Vitamin C actually makes me sick...it tastes awful). I think mainly we don’t get sick because our ...
Butternut “Pumpkin” Pie
CLICK HERE for an updated version of this post! I took it into my head that this year I wanted to make a pumpkin pie without any of that toxic white sugar. Of course, I haven't completely given up on white sugar. Yesterday's fudge post should be proof of that. But either way, this pumpkin pie is sugar free. I also ran out of canned pumpkin and didn't realize it until I had started the pie. I could've backed out even then, but you see, I'd already decided to make pumpkin ...
Single Serving Apple Pie
This might not be qualified as an actual “post” since in reality it is only a quick how-to. Really it’s just me showing off my adaption of the recipe into single serving pies. The reason you only see one pie in the pictures is that we ate all the rest of them the night before I took pictures. I try to avoid taking pictures at night AT ALL COSTS. The light is horrible. It would turn my mediocre pictures into awful ones. And the YELLOWNESS of the resulting images. Bleh. Another thing: I ran ...
Gluten Free Pie Crust
I was sick of pie crust that didn’t turn out well. Either it was too “flaky” and crumbled in fear at the first touch of a knife, or it was made of iron and didn’t crumble at all. There had to be a happy medium. So I went looking for pie crusts. I went on Pinterest, my favorite food blogs, the food network blog, allrecipes, anything. I tried gluten-free recipes and recipes that I converted to gluten-free as I went along. I tried recipes that were “guaranteed” to work (liars). I tried ...
Fruit Tarts
I'm not exactly the pastry queen. If you're wondering about the truth of this statement, check out the "pies" section. It looks pretty pathetic. So actually, don't check out the "pies" section. I don't make pies because they are a lot of work, and because they aren't my favorite thing ever. Thinking about it now, I wonder why they aren't my favorite thing ever, because these tarts made a pretty good breakfast. You heard me right. I had these for breakfast. The idea struck me ...
No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Pie
So, yeah, new recipe: Chocolate mousse pie. I'd call it a pie, anyway. And the mousse part? Usually mousse is pretty soft and creamy and such, but this firm. Firm enough to cut. So I don't know whether or not that qualifies for mousse. But let's just make things easy. Call it mousse. And here comes the cool part: Completely no bake. And it's extremely yummy. That was two cool parts, actually. I gotta work on my counting skills. Anyway... Serves: 10 Time: 20 minutes prep, 1 ...
Strawberry Pie Filling
This pie is delicious and easy. It tastes very good with rhubarb. If you would like a rhubarb pie, add ½ cup chopped rhubarb to the mixture in the saucepan. One gluten free pie shell (see pie shell recipe) ½ cup sugar 2 tablespoons tapioca starch 1 pound strawberries Place the pie shell in a pie pan. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and position rack in center of oven. Slice strawberries into fourths. Place strawberries, sugar, and tapioca in a medium ...
