This winter, so far, has been more than a little unusual. It’s been strange to be in New England looking at weather maps and watching everywhere from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C., and even the deep south get inches upon inches of snow as we sit here looking at bare earth and brown trees. But I can’t complain too much, as the roads have been perfectly clear! And, hey, it’s still cold, so perfect beef stew weather.

This was my first adventure in molded candy land, and though I made a mess with the chocolate because I’m impatient, these sunbutter cups still turned out quite well.

This scoop of cinnamon ice cream was supposed to be sitting on top of a lovely gluten and sugar free apple pie. Alas, I have not yet mastered the art of making an apple pie. The pie tasted great, but I baked it a little too long and the apples were mushy, so I’ll have to try again and will hopefully be posting the apple pie here soon. Now, about the ice cream…

Sunbutter — the name alone just sounds friendly, doesn’t it? Actually, Sunbutter is a registered trademark, so I think that I have to call my version sunflower seed butter or something that isn’t Sunbutter.

I know that this may not look like much, but one bite instantly transports me back to my childhood summers. So, what is this weird, brownish food? In my family, we call it zucchini pudding, and my mum always made it during summer zucchini season. I was actually a bit surprised when I did a little bit of searching and found that pretty much all of the zucchini pudding recipes floating around are for savory puddings. Zucchini pudding, as I know it, is a cross between a custard-y pumpkin pie filling and zucchini bread, and it’s just wonderful served warm with a little milk — coconut milk in this instance — poured over the top.

In all of my years of baking, I had never actually made graham crackers from scratch. It was always one of those things that I wanted to try, but when I didn’t have to worry about gluten and sugar it was just much easier to go and pick up a box at the store. For months, I had been looking for an excuse to experiment with a sugar free version of Rebecca Reilly’s gluten free graham cracker recipe, and I finally had one when my mum gave me the recipe for one of my favorite childhood desserts. I’ll let you know more about the dessert next time, but this time it’s all about the gluten free, sugar free grahams.
