Food: Good for the Soul

I love fresh baked bread, coffee and tea, pasta, fresh produce, canning, antique blue mason jars, antique kitchen gadgets, and licking the spatula.

I recently had to go gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, alcohol-free, chocolate-free, sugar-free, corn-free, citrus-free, processed foods-free, nightshade-free, and the list goes on. Needless to say, I had a bit of a hard time adjusting to the lifestyle. The new stuff is all gluten-free and anti-inflammation friendly.

Welcome to my kitchen.

Not-So-Chocolate Chocolate Cake and Marshmallow Frosting

This cake. Oh my it’s sinful. When my sister and I had to go gluten-free, my mom picked up The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam. She also blogs over at Elana’s Pantry. If you don’t read her blog, you should. It’s full of yummy recipes that can be easily modified to fit dietary regulations. I’ve made and modified many recipes from this book and they’ve all been fabulous.

I decided to take the plunge and make the cake on the cover. Now, I say “plunge” for many reasons.

First and foremost, I stink at cakes. Phew. That’s out. I could never master the art of Betty Crocker boxed cake mix but I could make a mean tart cherry pie that my roommates would beg me for. We all have our talents. Cakes. Not mine.
