Piggies! Happy Easter Sunday. It is DAY 8 of Gluten Free Baking with KitchenAid and we continue to celebrate our KitchenAid Stand Mixer Giveaway. I always associate scones with Sunday afternoon tea, so I chose to feature these incredible gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, sugar free, vegan scones created by the wonderful Lexie Croft on Easter Sunday! Lexie is the creator of Lexie's Kitchen, where her mantra is, "Modified Recipes For Modified Diets - Gluten-Free, Casein-Free & Allergy-Friendly Eats and Treats."

Lexie started writing her... Keep Reading

Piggies! It is DAY 7 of Gluten Free Baking With KitchenAid and we continue to celebrate Easter and our fabulous KitchenAid Stand Mixer Giveaway with these delicious gluten free chocolate brownies from my ADORABLE friend, Valentina Kenney, from Cooking On The Weekends. Yes! I HAD to feature one of her recipes on a Saturday, so I was truly "cooking on the weekends" with her! I don't know about you, but when I think about cooking on the weekends, my mind always heads to baking sweet treats with my mother. So, I thought it was only fitting that I feature one of the recipes that Valentina lovingly created for her son, who has celiac disease. If you love sweet, decadent, chocolate treats that make no apologies for their indulgence, you are... Keep Reading
