The now very…

Pumpkin Crumb Cake ~a love story~

It’s Aidan’s birthday party. He’s turning 7. I brought my vegan gluten-free pumpkin crumb cake, Alison’s favorite. Vegan. Gluten-free. Trying to satisfy everyone’s food issues. It’s not famous yet.

Magical March…

I was never big fan of March. No great days off. Kinda sucky weather. Not warm enough for summer and too rainy to be winter.  Just kinda blah.

The holidays mean … Pie!

Yay! it’s holiday season! As a baker that means lots of baking. And as a pie girl- that means pie crust! I have to admit I’ve always been a lazy baker. Back in the easy (non Vegan &Gluten-Free) days of boxed mixes and frozen pie crusts, I would cut corners where it wouldn’t matter too…
