The Gluten-Free Urban Goddess: Muffins

Ok, here we go...

So, In February 2011 I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease...wanna know more? Go here!

I get a lot of questions about Celiac Disease and I'm a secret chef so I decided to start this blog so I can get the word out and share some of the meals I've cooked as well as some of the things I've found along the way. I'm very active and I refuse to let Celiac Disease keep me from doing all the fun stuff I'm used to :-)

I'm learning and growing so if you have any ideas or comments feel free to share!

Cupcakes Like Mom Never Made

Alrighty...here's another adventure in baking!

I made yummy cupcakes and I do mean YUMMY!!!!

I modified the muffin recipe I posted earlier.

Sooo I had to taste one to make sure it was done

Then I had to taste one to make sure the frosting was extra yummy...

This is the frosting that I used on my cupcakes:

Good news...this frosting is (drumroll) Gluten Free and clearly marked!

I thoroughly enjoyed every one of these muffins and I hope you take advantage of Betty Crocker's new Gluten Free Baking Items!!

Baked Bliss

So I was feeling all domestic and I tried my hand at this whole baking thing. Before my diagnosis I would bake all the time, it was easy and fun; but then I felt like what can I bake since I can't use flour? Well I was forwarded this awesome & easy muffin recipe: http://fireandsalt.blogspot.com/2010/04/gluten-free-doughnut-muffins.html

The only catch is I couldn't find my cupcake/muffin pan...so I made a cake! I LOVE this muf...cake! It is very yummy & can make this again & again.

Here is the finished product, kinda looks like cornbread!

This is the texture...

This is my piece...get your own!
