Work In Progress

Working hard on the HGGF Low Carb!

This week I'm testing lamb cakes, tasty emulsions, one hell of a soup (finished last night) a few pudding like treats, and continuing the wrap and brownie evolutions. Busy, busy, busy and it's all for you! 

Well, no, ok. It's for me too. I do get hungry every now and then. 

How freaking awesome is it that this is health food?

Throw in your two cents! What are you just dying to have both low carb and gluten free? Tell me in the comments and it just might make it into the book.

Finally, a post, and a GIVEAWAY! Yay!

Well, I've been lazy so far this month! I can't believe this is my first post since January. But I swear there is a good reason, and it's not just that I got my brain wedged in another manga series (honest!). I've actually been really busy getting everything ready for my first big expo! Yes, I know I posted about this last time, but it's still awesome!

Which brings me to my news for today... I have 5 free tickets to said expo to give away. Yay! But you have to go visit me on Facebook to get in on the deal. If you're near the Phoenix area and even remotely free Saturday or Sunday the 22nd & 23rd, then go enter to win! Go on, get over there, shoo! And come see me at the author table!

Phoenix GFAF Expo

Details at gfafexpo.com

The Holy Grail is on it's way to it's first expo!

All you Phoenix Area GF'ers, mark your calendars, and come see us. There should be lots of GF sampling to do, classes, great companies for you to discover, and awesome, new things to purchase (like my book, available at the author table)! I'm really excited just to be in a place where everything is safe for me. That will be magical all by itself. In my head, I'm having a total Willy Wonka candy room moment, only without falling in the chocolate. Seriously, there is wow factor in the whole entirely GF setting. I'm so excited!

I'm still working out the details of our trip to PHX, but should have everything ready within the week. I'll pass any scrumptious new details as soon as I get them! Look forward to it. I'll see you there!

Happy Birthday, Holy Grail!

Pound Cake, recipe from Holy Grail

Today is the day that started it all. 

If you're one of the 6 whole people who read the author's note in my book, then you already know the story, so I'll keep it short.

Today is Monkey 1's birthday. It was 4 years ago today that, in a fit of pre-party insanity, I started throwing random flours into a bowl with no rhyme, reason or recipe and through some kind of divine intervention, ended up with miraculously good vanilla cupcakes and my first GF recipe.

That recipe was the spark that ignited enough passion to create good foods and then, a good book. After a minor revision or two, it also became the vanilla butter cake recipe in my Holy Grail, and we still love it. It was shocking when Monkey 1 requested pound cake this year with extreme German chocolate for the party this weekend, because he's still forever begging for that first vanilla cake. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. Celebrate with us this week. We'll make it an official, GF holiday, the birth of the Holy Grail of Gluten Free.

Happy birthday to the boy and the cake and the obsession. May all three flourish.

Holiday Book is Progressing

The real reason it took me so long to get that last post up...

Carrot cake experiments! Ginger Orange Carrot for the win! This is one more for the forth coming holiday book. Look forward to it.

Here comes Kindle!

Well, I think I've wrapped up this weeks painful work (i.e.. anything done on the computer) with the submission of my files to Kindle Direct Publishing. Hurrah! Soon my 3 whole fans can download digital versions of the holiest GF cookbook on Earth.

Now time to get back in the kitchen!
