Recent salad dressings

 Chipotle Ranch 

https://www.onelovelylife.com/chipotle-ranch-dressing/#tasty-recipes-32457-jump-target

This one, as written tasted too much like mayo, so I added more garlic powder and then some white wine vinegar. I used the high side of the chipotle peppers, probably closer to a tablespoon.


Honey lime vinaigrette https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/235712/honey-lime-vinaigrette/

Used this as a general guide, didn't add any extra sugar, and just used olive oil.

GF Crepes

 https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/gluten-free-crepes


I made this recipe for La Chandeleur on the lefse griddle and they were pretty good. Based on the videos I saw, I think it's easier to spread out the batter with a t-shaped tool to make them extra thin. I made do with a spatula.

We had strawberry, banana, Nutella, and peanut butter toppings.

Gingerbread Cake

 I made this cake because I wanted to 

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1026424-holiday-gingerbread-cake-with-molasses-whipped-cream?smid=ck-recipe-android-share

Used mostly Bob's Red Mill 1:1 GF flour in place of the AP flour.

It needs the whipped cream because the cake itself is not too sweet. I didn't make the cream from the recipe but had it with ice cream.

It was a little bitter, probably because it burned a little. But not sure if I'd make it again.

Macarons

 https://thebeachhousekitchen.com/chocolate-peanut-butter-macarons/#wprm-recipe-container-21486

Made these on New Year's day because Leela loves them. I had a hard time following the instructions and had a couple missteps in the egg white whipping. I missed adding the plain sugar. I added it after I whipped the egg white. Then I forgot to add the vanilla at the soft peak stage and had to keep whipping after I added it.

I probably under mixed the batter after adding the almond flour mixture because the shells were slightly hollow. Also, I baked both trays at the same time and some we bigger than others and they cooked slower than the "normal"-sized ones.

Generally, this tutorial is what I followed the first time and I think it is very informative.

Blonde brownies

These turned out great. Used the King Arthur 1:1 flour 

Pecan Pie Bars

I followed this recipe, replacing the regular flour for Gluten free flour.

I'm not completely happy with the crust, so I'll have to try again, but they are still pretty good.

Gluten free lefse

 https://www.chelseajoyeats.com/gluten-free-lefse/

Made this last year and I really think it was almost the same as the wheat flour ones.

We made them first so not to contaminate the rolling mats.
