“This fire that we call Loving is too strong for human minds. But just right for human souls.” – Aberjhani

Love exists throughout the year. Send out love to anyone you care about, especially during this pandemic. Making a phone call, mailing a card with a kind note, or even setting up a video call can send joy into someone’s life. For this Valentine’s Day, I’ve made a Heart-shaped Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookie. Have a little fun with your family in the kitchen this weekend by making this soft and chocolatey cookie!!!

NFL GameDay Treats & Snacks

With the first Super Bowl event this Sunday at home, large sports gatherings are quite different for 2021. I had fun in the kitchen learning and creating tasty GameDay Bite-Size treats and snacks that are simple and affordable. The snacks are Zucchini Bite-Size Balls with Southern Creole Dipping Sauce and Wonton Taco Cups. The treats are Mini Silk Chocolate Apple and Walnut Pies.

Zucchini Bite-Size Balls

Use an Ice Cream scooper to fill the wonton cups for equally sized portions.

Before adding chopped bell peppers to the wonton cups, I recommend sautéing first. One half is topped with the bell-peppers and the other half is sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Lightly brush the edges of the wonton cups with melted unsalted butter. Bake for 15 minutes.

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pie

This Holiday Season (2020) is very different in many ways but I have continued to push forth the envelope in my cooking skills. For this year’s Thanksgiving feast, I prepared a Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pie and used the NuWave Air Fryer to bake my Sweet Potato Yams. The Fall Leaf toppers on the Sweet Potato Pie are also Gluten-Free. The Sweet Potatoes are baked beautifully with gushing caramelized juices from the sides of these root vegetables. From this point forward, this food blog will incorporate more Gluten-Free friendly meals.
