Gingerbread Biscotti

December 10, 2016 by Erica 4 Comments

Gingerbread Biscotti

Want a seasonal biscotti? I gotcha covered. I’m getting busy with holiday stuff, and I’ve been craving a slightly sweet, slightly spicy biscotti. So here we go. This is so easy to make and you can roll, freeze, and then just defrost the dough whenever the moment strikes. It goes great with tea, coffee, ice cream, or …

Chocolate Cupcakes {almond flour}

Chocolate Cupcakes {almond flour}

I’ve been wanting to whip up a reliable chocolate cupcake recipe using almond flour. I have a version using coconut flour, and thought it would be really nice to have the lightness of that recipe using almond flour. Almond flour baked goods tend to be a bit heavier, but there are techniques to lighten them. Let me …

Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun Muffins {almond & coconut flour}

October 22, 2014 by Erica 26 Comments

Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun Muffins - Comfy Belly

I’ve combined two great muffins into one: pumpkin cinnamon bun muffins. My cinnamon bun muffins must be quite a hit with many since I’ve received several personal emails thanking me for that recipe. My favorite is the almond flour version, but there is a version using just coconut flour, as well as one using both almond and coconut …

Pumpkin Steamer - Comfy Belly

    I love this time of year. Fall colors, Indian summer days, and pumpkins. Here’s a personal favorite: a pumpkin steamer. I just finished roasting a very large butternut squash, which means I’m ready to share some more recipes using pumpkin. Yep, my oven is on fire. Get ready for a couple of baking posts. …

Banana Cashew Yogurt Parfait - Comfy Belly

In search of a quick and easy dairy-free yogurt to boost your smoothies?  Try Gena Hamshaw’s recipe for dairy-free yogurt from her book, Choosing Raw. If you’ve been avoiding yogurt because it’s either made from dairy, you’re avoiding additives in commercial dairy-free yogurt, or you’ve run out of homemade cultured yogurt, here’s “yogurt” that’s simple to make.

Melon Sorbet {quick & easy}

August 19, 2014 by Erica 7 Comments

Melon Sorbet - Comfy Belly

Gather your ripe cantaloupes and honeydew melons. Melon sorbet is a simple, thirst-quenching treat. For this recipe, use your ripest melons—cantaloupe, honeydew or some variation (and there are many variations). Mostly because they’ll be the sweetest of the bunch. Just cut them into cubes, seal and freeze. Then when you want instant melon sorbet, place …

Blueberry Cheesecake Bars - Comfy Belly

Here’s a raw blueberry cheesecake tart—perfect for making cheesecake bars. It’s a simple raw cheesecake using cashews and fresh blueberries. I found myself wanting cheesecake snack bars that were ice-box cold, and I also had a huge box of blueberries. This recipe is fairly easy; it just requires time and a food processor or high-speed blender. …

Trail Mix Bars

Trail Mix Bars - Comfy Belly

I’ve seen a lot of Kind bar replica recipes lately, which kicked me into working on a replacement for my old granola bar recipe, which was desperately in need of an update.  I’ve also revisited the ratio and ingredients for two other snack bars from way back, using toasted brown rice and millet. My older son and …

Orange Creamsicles {dairy free}

May 6, 2014 by Erica 11 Comments

My kick this week has been creamy orange ice pops using coconut milk. With all the turmeric in my life these days I find my eye drawn to all things yellow and orange. These are not the orange ice-coated creamsicles that as a kid I rarely chose from the ice cream truck (I hear the tune in …

Strawberry Yogurt Bowl

April 9, 2014 by Erica 2 Comments

Strawberry Yogurt Bowl - Comfy Belly

There is something to be said for starting the day with a bowl of yogurt. It has a smooth, creamy texture, making it easy on the waking digestive system. And I like the shot of probiotics. Usually I combine the yogurt with fresh fruit, and if the fruit is tart I add a drizzle of …
