1/2 of a 15oz can of pumpkin
3/4 cup all purpose GF flour
1/2 cup plus 2 TBS brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Xantham Gum (if not already in your flour)
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Ginger
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
6 TBS oil
3 whole eggs
Preheat oven to 350. In large mixer bowl combine the ingredients, except the pumpkin, and mix thoroughly, if it's too thick add a little oil or rice milk. Beat on high for 2 minutes then add the pumpkin, mix until just combined. It will look like pumpkin pie, but a little thicker, at this point.
Bake 350 for 25 min. Check, you really don't want to over cook GF food. Better to leave it a little moist.
Beat the frosting together
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla
4 TBS whipping Cream
2 tsp Cinnamon
beat until combined with a whisk, then slowly add 4 cups powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, beating for a long time in between cups. Try not to eat it all before you frost the cupcakes!

GF Pizza Crust (credit: Cooking for Isaiah)
I LOVE this recipe. I modified it some for our individual diet plan.
2 cups all purpose GF flour (more for dusting)
1 TBS yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup warm water
combine the water, sugar and yeast in a mixing bowl until bubbily...I love that smell. Then add the flour and eggs, mix with a dough hook, slowly add the oil. Beat with a dough hook until it starts forming a dough ball. Divide into two equal pieces and place between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper that is oiled. Roll into a 12"disk. Place on a pizza stone or cookie sheet and let rest for a half an hour. Bake without toppings at 450 for 8 minutes closer to the bottom of the oven. Then take out, top and bake again until the toppings are bubbily and nummy. Enjoy!
You can also add corn meal to the dough and pan. Just make sure to adjust the flour accordingly.

Casy Homemade Caramel for Apples
This was a fun one. And addicting so watch out!
Combine in a medium heavy sauce pan:
3/4 cup butter
1 cup light corn syrup
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups sugar
Heat over med/low heat and stir continuously. When it reaches a softball state, or 235 to 240 remove from heat and add 1 tsp vanilla. At this point you cna put it in a slow cooker on low for easy dipping, mind you if left to long it will continue to cook, and get firmer.
Cut apple slices or insert sticks into apples for dipping!
Enjoy!

Brazilian Cheese puffs, dairy free!
This is my, curl up in a ball and eat food. When I want something chewy, and crispy, and cheesy, and salty, and delish! I've adapted this from the Our Best Bites blog.
Brazilian Cheese Puffs! (if you can eat cheese substitute the cheese for parmesan and chedder mix and milk for regular milk)
Preheat your oven to 400, really, preheat it!
spray a mini muffin tin or muffin tin with cooking spray or coconut oil
In your blender combine:
1 egg
1/2 cup coconut or almond milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup tapioca flour (NO SUBSTITUTIONS)
Blend until smooth
Add:
3/4 cup shredded Manchego cheese or other dairy free cheese of your choice, the sharper and harder the better!
1/2 tsp Kosher salt or sea salt
Blend for 2-3 pulses
Immediately pour into muffin tins making it 3/4 full. Put into oven and bake for 15-20 min, depending on your oven and the size of the cheese puff! It will be slightly golden on top and puffy when done. Take out and pop out of pan, eat hot. mmmmm.....

Grandma served this the other night, and I swear to you I ate half the cake. Well, maybe just 3 pieces...but I couldn't keep my hands off it! Yum!

3 Cups GF flour
2/3 cups oil
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
6 TBS cocoa
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups water
2 eggs ( or 1/2 cup applesauce)
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vinegar
1 tsp xantham gum (if not included in your flour)
Mix well,
bake at 350 for 25-30 min in a casserole or 2 rounds.
Baba's Frosting
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 cube margarine
melt together on Low (place the chocolate on top of the butter so it doesn't scorch)
Add 1 lb powdered sugar slowly, mixing. It will be really really dry. Add Coconut or Almond milk TBS at a time until fudgy and thinner (I know these are oxymorons....). Then add a healthy tsp of vanilla. It should be spreadable at this time. If it isn't add a little more milk.
