Another week of fabulous food made healthier – as always, I can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on in your kitchens.
If you didn’t see yesterday’s post – my book has officially been released! I’m so excited for you to see what I’ve been doing in my kitchen for the last year!
This week’s post is going to be incredibly short…along with everything else, it’s midterm week! I’ve got exams in Chocolates & Confections, Laminated Dough, and Breads & Rolls. Whew!
SS&GF Forums…
I’ve been kicking this idea around for a while – I get so many questions via e-mail and my heart wants to have the time to answer each and every one. The reality of my life, though, is that I just don’t have enough time to do it.
One of the solutions I’ve come up with is creating a SS&GF forum where we can chat and interact as a community. I haven’t made any decisions but thought I’d let you know I’m kicking this idea around. And, if you’ve e-mailed me and not heard back I wanted you to know why.
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights
- Sweet Potato Cupcakes with Coconut Flour from The Hobson Homestead
- Baked Oatmeal from The Gluten-Free Homemaker
- Baked Quinoa from Gluten-Free Gigi
- Coconut Rice Pudding from The Chocolate Book
Have you checked out my Everyday Food give-away? I know you’ll love this Martha Stewart magazine as much as I do.
Linking Up Guidelines: PLEASE Read!
- Please link back to this post so that your readers can find the recipes here.
- Link to your individual post, NOT your home page.
- Recipes DO NOT have to be sugar-free or gluten-free – just healthier in some way. The idea is to share our ideas and inspire each other in the kitchen.
- Please don’t link give-aways and book reviews without recipes or contests – the intent of this event is to compile recipes that give people options.
- ONLY ONE post per blog, please!
- (Optional) When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter:

I’ve linked to my Chocolate Raspberry Pie, which is gluten/dairy/egg/soy free, sugar free, grain free and vegan. And most of all, delicious!
My computer seems to be doing something funny so I hope this works!

Congratulations on your book! I can’t wait to get one and try all your yummy recipes
I love the idea of a forum.
I’ve gone a little overboard with the heart-shaped food. My kids are ready to kill me if I make one more thing in the shape of a heart. I had to laugh when I saw your thumb print cookies. I thought “I need to make those!”

Congrats again on the book, Amy! Like everyone is saying, what a great Valentine’s Day gift.
I linked up a healthier version of the peanut butter oatmeal cocoa drop cookies that we remember from “back in the day”. My version uses coconut oil, almond butter, quinoa flakes, palm sugar, and coconut. These cookies are gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, and vegan, with the almond butter and quinoa flakes offering some nice protein.
Belated Happy Valentine’s Day all!

Congratulations on your book!
I would love to be able to exchange ideas on a forum. I’m relatively new to living gluten- and sugar-free and it would be helpful for people to all come to one place to share.
Thank you!

Ack. I should not try to post and read to my 3 yr old at the same time! Oh well, you can at least see the photo and tell it’s something chocolate right?
It’s a refined-sugar free, dairy-free, gluten-free cake pop! Red velvet cake drenched in chocolate, on a stick!!!

Congratulations on your book Amy! That is so exciting! This week I am sharing my Green Bean Salad With Fennel, Dried Blueberries and Blue Cheese. This salad has an amazing collection of flavors in it. I hope people will try it even if they have not eaten fresh fennel (anise) before. The key is to get small fennel bulbs if possible and make sure they are really fresh when you buy them.
Thanks for hosting!

The forum sounds like a great idea. Not having enough time seems like a good problem to have right now. Can’t wait for my copy of the book to arrive. Am linking my butternut squash soup. xo

Hi Amy,
My copy of your cookbook is ordered and on its way! I’m so looking forward to getting it!
I’ve linked one of my favorite winter dinners — and winter lunch the following day — Lasagna with Spinach.
Best wishes on your radio show tomorrow!

Sharing a great recipe for those who want to foray into dark greens but are scared of the earthy taste. Enter swiss chard! I know you love braised greens so I thought I would share it with you! hugs!!! Alex
