Gluten Free Bagels

What’s better than toasty bread? I’ll wait…That’s right, not much! These bagels are a hybrid between a traditional NY style bagel you’d find in a Jewish delicatessen and one of those over simplified weight watchers bagels that rose to Pinterest fame years ago. Honestly the closest thing I’ve had to AIP bread I’ve ever had. I’ve tried the mix and found the bagels to be on the flat side, and very doughy…maybe I’m just bad at directions, I dunno. They kind of scratched the itch, but not all the way.

AIP Pumpkin Pie Filling

I am so stoked on how this turned out, it took a bit of relentless tweaking to get the custard to set just as I had remembered it, but I think I finally nailed it (I’m sorry that I’ve been sitting on this recipe for TWO YEARS thinking I had already published it. Insert facepalm here. Better late than never right?! If you’re missing pumpkin pie reminiscent of what grandma used to make I urge you to give this filling a try with your favorite crust. Its rich and silky, yet firm…all without the use of eggs, cream or refined sugar.

AIP Cheese Sauce

Would you believe me if I told you that this recipe came to be during quarantine when we weren’t going to the stores, and there really wasn’t food on the shelves?! Yep, I made this in the early days of lockdown from a few pantry/fridge staples and a whole lot of desperation. You know what they say though, necessity is the mother of invention. I present to you vegetables in the form of cheese. Makes an excellent nacho base as seen here, but also makes a mean mac and cheese with your favorite pasta.
