Gluten Free Almond, Cranberry and Pistachio Nougat

Gluten Free Almond, Cranberry and Pistachio Nougat

Last week I made this delicious Gluten Free Almond, Cranberry and Pistachio Nougat. Not a bad effort for my first attempt at making Nougat! It’s got that perfect balance of chewy sweetness and a little crunch and wasn’t at all hard to make. You just need a good candy thermometer and some patience to let the nougat set before you can take a bite!

Thanks to the Queen website for the original recipe. I made a few small modifications for my own taste preferences and ease of baking.

In other news, I missed posting new recipes over the last two week thanks to a nasty bug that got the better of Jesse, Lyla and I (my husband and 19 month old for those new to my blog). Thankfully we’re all on the improve now. I’m also really close to being allowed to start rehab after my recent back surgeries. I’m so excited! I plan on making an extra few treats to celebrate this weekend!

Hope you’re all having a great week so far and thank you for stopping by.

Persian Love Cake Gluten Free

Persian Love Cake Gluten Free

After numerous birthday parties, a wedding, baby shower and even an ice skating competition, I finally bring to you a new recipe, Gluten Free Persian Love Cake.

I stumbled across this cake in a cafe a few years ago and immediately went in search for the recipe. I can honestly say I have never tasted a cake quite like this one.

So I decided to make it last week for my boss’s birthday because a) I wanted to make something other than your stock standard chocolate cake and b) it tastes great.

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think if you end up baking it?!
