Here are some of my favorite gluten-free, refined sugar-free, healthy recipes to help you celebrate Easter. With everyone buzzing about the upcoming holiday, it seemed only natural to share them with you.
Of course, several of them are desserts…what can I say? I love to bake.
Joe and I are going to have a quiet meal at home – I’m going to keep things simple because it’s just going to be the two of us. It’s always nice to have some quiet time together, but it’s also difficult to be away from our families on holidays.

Quiet for me, too. I agree, it’s tough being away from family on holidays. I spent last weekend with my sister and brother-in-law, which was wonderful! This weekend I hope to try a new recipe or two from Elana’s cupcake book.

Oh, I could really go for some of your angel food cake right about now! A quiet holiday is good, but I agree, being away from family can be hard. I hope you enjoy your holiday!

Just stumbled across your blog and excited to try some of your sugar-free recipes. I was diagnosed in 2002 with hypoglycemia. Looking forward to using alternatives to sugar that are on the low end of the glycemic index as far as sweeteners go. THANK YOU for posting them!

My mom is fixing the tradional french easter meal which is leg of lamb with white beans. Not my favortie but i am sooo grateful that she is still loving life and living well enough to cook for her family.
One hitch, my godchild is bringing a coconut cake(wheat and sugar filled) for dessert. I would like to make and bring the flourless chocolate cake you showcased above but i don’t have a springform pan except for a cheesecake pan. Is there another way I can bake the cake until I can purchase one?
btw, I received Abby’s email from iHerb! yeah!
Have a wonderful Easter… much love, Christianne

Hi, Amy,
We don’t really celebrate anything, officially, which is fine with me, but it does get a little sad around some holidays without ‘big’ plans. But whenever I do have ‘big’ plans, I pine for time at home with my husband and kids. The grass is always greener on someone else’s plans.
Warm regards,
Nicole
