Hi everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that I went to that new cupcake place in NYC yesterday. BABYCAKES. They make everything there and are very knowledgeable about the ingredients. Gluten, refined sugar, casein, dairy and egg free!!

I tried the vanilla and carrot cupcake (carrot was awesome and the vanilla was good but a little dry) and the chocolate chip and cinammon-raisin cookies. They were both delicious. They also have chocolate and lemon cupcakes as well as a chocolate chip banana loaf and poppy seed loaf.

They are also taking orders for thanksgiving cakes, so if anyone is in the area and wants one- i would call or stop in.

Nothing is cheap, but most prepared gluten free stuff isn't.

The cookies were $1 each and the cupcakes $2.50 each.

The cakes are pretty expensive ( $20-40), but they have a variety: apple crumb, carrot, chocolate crumb, spicy pumpkin, applie pie. After trying the carrot cupcake, I might order the carrot cake!!

The info is:

248 Broome Street

212-677-5047

Thanks, Linda--I'll hang on to the address. Every once in a while my husband and I drive up to NYC (from South Jersey) to see a show or whatever. I'd love to try some of the goodies!

      i used to get cold sores frequently before I went gluten free.  Then I only got them when stressed.  Then I cured my gut dysbiosis, and haven't had one in 20 years.

      To me, this bread is pretty special. The first time I tried adapting it I used a commercial gluten-free flour blend and it was good, but when I experimented using individual flours I tried the almond flour and it took it from good to special. I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess that adding either of them would result in the whole being less than the sum of the parts because the almond and other nut flavors would be competing. I wouldn't want to add almonds because of the texture. But you never know until you try. Have not tried cinnamon in this recipe. I imagine it would work. As I modified this recipe from the original, I reduced the sugar. The posted recipe is what I currently use. You are right that the pears bring a little sweetness to it.

      It's kind of funny that before my celiac diagnosis I did a lot more "functional eating" where I just needed a meal and wasn't so worried about how interesting/delicious it was, just needed to eat something. After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving for trying add-ins. I've supplemented the greens with green onions, bell pepper (any color), celery leaves and stalks, and fresh parsley. Sometimes I throw in pepitas (pumpkin seeds), craisins, walnuts and/or sunflower seeds. One thing I tried that didn't really work was currants. I think that maybe it's because they are too small and too sweet. I haven't experimented with cheeses beyond the 2 in the recipe. I would guess that grated hard cheeses would work, medium hard cheeses (like swiss or cheddar) might work, and soft cheeses would not.

      That actually sounds really nice. Pear bread feels like one of those things that would be soft and a little sweet without being too heavy. I like the idea of using fruit like that instead of just relying on sugar. It probably makes it feel more fresh and homemade. Have you tried adding anything like cinnamon or nuts to it, or do you keep it simple?

      That actually sounds really good, I wouldn’t have thought to mix sorghum with kale but it makes sense. The roasted cherry tomatoes probably bring a nice bit of sweetness to balance everything out. I’ve been trying to find more simple gluten-free meals that don’t feel boring, and this feels like something you could make ahead and just keep eating through the week. Did you add anything else to it, like nuts or cheese, or keep it pretty simple?
