Gluten-free Donuts

 A little back story about me: I have a food allergy list long like the Amazon River! Therefore, I'm being extremely cautious when I'm cooking or baking, otherwise, my body reminds me of the "off-limit" ingredients and sends me to bed with a 5 days long migraine. 


Gluten is part of the list ( I'm not celiacs, I'm gluten intolerant). 

My family has no known issues ( lucky them !!) which makes it complicated to please everybody when cooking or baking.

I have decided to bake them some chocolate cakes every once in a while, and for me, I gave a try to the gluten-free donuts. 


Ingredients : 


  • 2 cups of flour ( I use 1 cup of almond flour, 1 cup of rice flour) 
  • 1/2 cup of sugar ( or any substitute you may use if following a low car / Keto diet), adjust to your personal taste, I personally am not very keen on oversweet pastries/desserts.
  • 2 tablespoons of gluten-free baking powder 
  • 3/4 cup of milk ( I use almond milk as ..... yes you bet it right: I'm cow milk intolerant as well !! )
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • a pinch of salt
  • vanilla, coconut, strawberry or any flavour you may like, extract ( about a teaspoon)
  • 1/4cup of oil ( or coconut oil).

Mix together all the dry ingredients. When all combined, add the wet ingredients to the bowl and stir until fully combined.

Spray your baking pan with oil and bake at 415˚ Fahrenheit for 7 to 9 minutes ( the toothpick test is the way to go to make sure they are ready, I usually do it at 7 minutes).

Here is the baking powder I use, it has never triggered any issue for me.





I glazed the donuts after they cooled down, to make the glaze, I used 1/2 cup of icing sugar, 1 tablespoon of almond milk and some caramel-pecan sirop ( a drop or two).


If you make them, please let me know how they tasted. I can't wait to read your feedback on those easy to make donuts.

    There are some new studies that talk about allergies ALL being a result of having a poor gut biome and either SIBO, SIFO or both. I had to take a lot of antibiotics due to dental issues which, of course, wipes out a healthy gut biome. So I have been reading and doing lots of things to try to repair that--making many different types of fermented foods for their probiotic benefits. There is a new book out by Dr. Davis, a leader in the field of gut microbiome health. It's called Super Gut. I just got my copy.

Crusted lingcod

What's for dinner?? ..... the same old question, and after staring at the shelves in the pantry for about 10 minutes, I decided for some lingcod with a crust of walnuts and pecan. Ingredients :  - 1 filet of white fish ( I use lingcod as it's what we have in the freezer)  - 1/2 cup of mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons of mustard - 2 garlic cloves, pureed  - 2/3 cup of walnuts - 2/3 cup of pecans - fresh parsley - parmesan - 3 large carrots - Using a mandoline, slice the carrots and steam them until cooked. - pat the fish dry, and season with salt all over - in a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard and garlic. Spread generously on the fish. - put the nuts in a ziplock bag and with a pan, smash them!  - add the finely chopped parsley and about 1/2 a cup of freshly grated parmesan. seal the bag and shake to combine - coat the fish with a thick coat of the nuts mix, and put it in the oven ( temperature: 425˚) for about half an hour ( depending on the thickness of your fish). ...

Tenderloin grass fed beef with shallot sauce.

Being French, I was raised with good food, flavours, and a certain attraction to onions, and shallots.....  I bought this half cow of grass-fed beef, excellent meat, the only thing is: it's a brand new way of cooking. The grasse-fed meat is lean, therefore, if cooked at a high temperature, it becomes chewy. It's been a long learning process for me, I almost gave up on the type of meat, then I discovered Sous-Vide cooking. That changed my life !!  For the sauce, you will need :   6 shallots peeled and thinly sliced   1/2 cup of white wine 5 tablespoons of sour cream Olive oil Butter Salt and pepper   For the steak 2 tenderloin steaks   1 shallots Salt and pepper to taste.   Sauce : Peel and slice the shallots, and cook them in the pan with olive oil and butter.   When browned, add the white wine and reduce for a few minutes.   Add the sour cream, salt, and pepper, and reduce to thicken.   The tenderloin steaks : I use sous-vide for tender...

Sous-Vide chuck roast beef

 I buy my meat straight at the farm, and I like knowing how it was fed and where it comes from. Last year, I bought a cow that was exclusively grass-fed. If the meat was lean and tasty, it definitely lacked fat. I cooked it, and we ate it, but more than once I was disappointed with the result.  It was chewy, very chewy ..... I asked on some forums what my solution could be to avoid this fact, and one person came up with the idea of trying sous-vide cooking. I ordered a water circulating device, took a large plastic container, and gave it a try. I must say that I was not disappointed, and I decided to explore that method of cooking a little more. We finished that cow, ate it all .... and I went to another farm to buy half a cow that was grass-fed BUT grain-finished.  Today I tried to make a chuck roast, using the sous-vide technique and finishing it in the oven.  That was a success !!  Steps :  I used a frozen roast. Put it (still frozen) in a bag ( a ziploc...
