Simple to put together and equally simple to tailor to whatever your needs are, this whole-grain, eggless biscotti is a healthy take on tradition!
Taking a cue from the popular "cake pop" phenomenon, these use Limoncello Buttercream and a touch more Limoncello to bind almond biscotti crumbs that get rolled into balls and coated in white chocolate.
Strawberries macerate overnight in sugar before being lightly cooked and laced with vanilla and sherry. I used my grandfather's homemade brew for the alcohol to give my grandma a little piece of his love this holiday.

Gluten free oats, brown rice flour, cornmeal and flaxseed star in this sweet-tart cookie packed with chopped fresh (or frozen) cranberries! Virgin coconut oil adds a hint of extra flavour too - you'll never miss the dairy, eggs or gluten!
What could be more inviting than hot gingerbread scones on a cold, snowy morning. Just the smell alone warms you to your toes. Try these low fat, delicately spiced, slightly sweet scones this morning with a hot cup of robust coffee or tea. You won't be disappointed!
This is a no-fail, easy fudge recipe that can handle your creativity! Can probably be made a lot healthier, but I make up 3-4 batches of different varieties, and create plates to send to work/ school/ parties!

Adapted slightly from Put 'em Up! by Sherri Brooks Vinton. I love that this plum sauce was actually made from plums and not buckets of sugar like commercial sauces (the one we usually buy is made of "sugar, pumpkin, white vinegar, modified corn starch, plum purée, salt, concentrated lemon juice, garlic (contains soybean oil), red jalapeño pepper, citric acid, acetic acid, caramel colour").
This is a 100% dough raised, dense and moist seeded rye bread reminiscent of the vacuum-packed blocks in delis. The difference with this one is that it's FRESH, it's SOFT, and you can make it all at home!
Rich with browned butter, butterscotch extract, butterscotch chips and Demerara sugar, you'd never guess these cookies made with ground pecans and flax were also gluten free and eggless!
Old fashioned real fudge. Tastes so much better than the white chocolate cheating stuff.
This is a holiday treat. Serving size is about the size of 1/2 golf ball . Serving size will vary between 100-120 pieces. Portion control is easier if candies are small.
It’s a white chocolate chip chocolate macadamia nut cookie made without butter!
Neat German cookie. This is a recipe for a low carb version of a traditional Nicholas cookie that comes out of the Rhineland. The cookie is called "Speculatius" which means "image." In Europe, the "image" is the mirror-image of a Nicholas which had been pressed into a wooden mold and then turned out on a sheet to bake in the oven. If you don't have these molds, you can roll out dough and use a cardboard pattern (about 7-inches tall) of a gingerbread bishop to cut around for the basic shape and everyone further decorates it as the imagination dictates. We simply rolled them into 2 inch diameter logs and cut 1/4 inch slices. Thin cookies are tastiest. Yum!
