  • Creamy Sesame Turkey Lettuce Cups

    If you’re in the mood for something light, bright, and packed with Asian-inspired flavor, my creamy sesame turkey lettuce cups hit the spot every time. Ground turkey gets sautéed with simple seasonings and pantry staples like coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil, then scooped into crisp butter lettuce cups and topped with a drizzle of creamy sesame sauce that ties everything together. These cups are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, meal prep bowls, or finger food at gatherings. I love how effortless this recipe feels — it cooks up in about 30 minutes and doesn’t skimp on flavor. The creamy sesame sauce adds richness and umami, while the fresh lettuce cups keep it feeling light. You can serve them just as they are, or add jasmine rice on the side if you want something heartier. Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Serves: 4 Ingredients: 1 lb Ground Turkey 1 cup Shredded Carrots 1 tbsp Coconut Aminos 1 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar ½ tsp Sesame Oil 2 tsp Ginger Paste 2 tsp Garlic Powder 2 tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Salt 1 tsp Black Pepper For the cups: Bibb Lettuce Rice Sesame Seeds Creamy Sesame Sauce (Sidedish) Instructions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and break it up with a spatula as it cooks. Sprinkle on garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink and begins to brown slightly. Once the turkey is mostly cooked through, stir in the shredded carrots. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the carrots start to soften. Pour in the coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil. If you like extra depth, add a teaspoon of ginger paste or freshly grated ginger here. Stir everything together so it’s coated in the sauce and fragrant. Let it warm through for another couple of minutes. While the turkey mixture finishes cooking, gently separate the butter lettuce leaves into cups. Rinse and pat dry so they’re crisp and ready to go. To assemble, spoon a bit of jasmine rice into the base of each lettuce leaf if using. Top with the warm turkey mixture. Drizzle generously with creamy sesame sauce, then sprinkle with sesame seeds for crunch and visual appeal. Serve immediately while the turkey is warm and the lettuce is crisp. These are great on their own or paired with simple sides like steamed rice or quick pickled cucumbers for added brightness. Tips for Success Use crisp lettuce  — Butter lettuce has the perfect shape and texture for holding fillings, but romaine or bibb work well too. Adjust the sauce  — The creamy sesame sauce is a flavor anchor here. Use more or less depending on your taste, and feel free to add sriracha or chili flakes for heat. Add fresh ginger  — A bit of fresh ginger adds extra depth and brightness to the turkey mixture if you have it on hand. Make it a rice bowl  — If you want leftovers to stretch further or a more filling meal, serve the turkey mixture over jasmine rice with the creamy sauce drizzled on top.

  • Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Rolls

    Get ready for a cozy fall treat with these soft and fluffy gluten-free pumpkin pie rolls! Perfect for chilly mornings or as an afternoon indulgence, these rolls are packed with warm pumpkin flavors and a hint of sweetness. The dough is infused with pumpkin puree and a blend of pumpkin pie spice, while the filling offers a rich, buttery, spiced sweetness. Topped with your favorite cream cheese frosting, each bite is a delicious reminder of why fall baking is the best. Whether you're gluten-free or not, these pumpkin spice rolls are sure to be a hit! Prep Time: 75 minutes   Cook Time: 25  minutes  Total Time: 100 minutes  Makes 8 rolls Dough Ingredients: 2 tbsp Whole Psyllium Husk ½  cup Water 3 cups Gluten Free Flour  1 packet Instant Yeast 3 tbsp Brown Sugar 1 tsp Salt 1 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice 2 tsp Baking Powder 2 tsp Vanilla Extract ½ cup Milk ½ cup Pumpkin Puree 1 Egg  4 tbsp Butter, melted Filling Ingredients: 1 cup Brown Sugar 2 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice 2 tsp Vanilla Extract 1 tsp Salt 6 tbsp Butter, softened In a small bowl, combine the psyllium husk & water. Set aside until a gel forms. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in your flour, instant yeast, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk together. To the mixing bowl add your egg, milk, vanilla, butter, pumpkin puree, and the psyllium husk mixture and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes, allowing the dough to knead together. For this step I use the dough hook to bring everything together. The dough will pull off of the walls of the mixing bowl and form a ball around the dough hook. Cover the bowl and set aside to rise for 30 minutes. Sprinkle a clean surface with a little bit of flour and roll out your dough into a ¼ inch thick rectangle. Whisk brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a small bowl with melted butter and vanilla extract. Spread mixture evenly across the dough. Carefully roll the dough to form a log and cut the log into 8 pieces. You can eyeball the slices, but I like to use a measuring tape to keep each roll as even as possible. Add the rolls to a dish that has been greased (I used a 9 inch cake round and greased it with butter), cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat  your oven to 400F. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. If you want gooey rolls, bake for 25 minutes. For slightly firmer rolls, bake for 30 minutes.  Top with your favorite cream cheese frosting and enjoy!

  • Gluten Free Tomato Tartlets

    Looking for a simple yet elegant dish to impress your guests or treat yourself? These gluten-free tomato tartlets are perfect for any occasion! With a crispy crust, creamy ricotta filling, and juicy cherry tomatoes, they are sure to be a hit. Plus, they’re gluten-free, making them a great option for those with dietary restrictions. Let’s get baking! 1 sheet Sweet Loren’s Gluten Free Puff Pastry ½ cup Ricotta ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese 4 tbsp Olive Oil 1 tsp Salt 1 tsp Pepper 2 tsp Garlic Powder 2 tsp Oregano 1 tbsp Fresh Basil 1 Egg 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes Instructions: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the Sweet Loren’s Gluten-Free Puff Pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares, then gently score a smaller square about ½ inch from the edge of each piece. Be careful not to cut all the way through—this will allow the edges to puff up around the filling. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and fresh basil. Mix until smooth and well combined. Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss in a small bowl with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread a generous spoonful of the ricotta mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square, staying within the scored border. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the ricotta mixture, cut side up. Carefully brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg. This will give the tartlets a beautiful golden color when baked. Place the tartlets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy. Once baked, remove the tartlets from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving.

  • Gluten Free Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

    Every summer, I anxiously await the arrival of the gigantic zucchinis from my local farm. I think they are rather impractical, but when they are the size of my forearm (I am not exaggerating!) it is hard to pass them up. They are a recipe developers dream! This summer's jumbo zucchini purchase brings you my Gluten Free Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins! They are moist and rich and I know you are going to love them! Prep Time: 20  minutes  Cook Time: 15-20 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes Makes: 8 bakery style muffins or 18 regular muffins Ingredients: 1 ½ cups 1:1 Gluten Free Flour  ½ cup Special Dark Cocoa Powder 1 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Baking Soda 1 tsp Salt 3 Eggs ½ cup Vegetable Oil ½  cup Brown Sugar 1 tbsp Vanilla ½ cup Sour Cream ½ cup Milk 2 cups grated Zucchini 1 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Grate your zucchini (either with a box grater or in a food processor) and set aside. Do not drain excess water. In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk and set aside. In a larger bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, brown sugar, vanilla, and sour cream until combined. Alternate adding a portion of the dry ingredients and milk into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. The batter will be thick (almost like a brownie). Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, fold in the grated zucchini. The batter will start to thin. Then fold in the mini chocolate chips. It benefits the batter to let it sit for a little, so wait until the batter is mixed to preheat your oven to 350F. Grease or line your muffin tin. If you are making bakery style muffins, bake for 20-22 minutes. If you are baking regular muffins, bake for 15-18 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 15 minutes and then remove and place on a cooling rack for another 15 or so minutes. Store in an airtight container or freeze for later!
