Jalapeno Lime Cheesecake

by RGF-Daddy | April 27, 2016 | Desserts, Nut Free | 0 Comments

A number of years ago, I was the editor of a rural weekly newspaper. As part of that job, I was expected to be the face of the newspaper in the community especially for events such as fundraisers or events where local businesses were participating. During one of those...

Chocolate Trifle

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (sorry that intro never gets old to me!), my wife introduced me to trifle. As a young warthog (ok, they're both Disney properties!), I had never experienced trifle. I was not a huge fan of pudding mind you. On the other hand,...

Zucchini Cake

by RGF-Daddy | February 7, 2016 | Allergen Alert, Desserts, Nut Free | 0 Comments

This simple GF zucchini cake recipe is a number of years in the making (or at least putting it online is). Back when I was an editor for a small, rural weekly newspaper in North Dakota, I got zucchini'd! I had never had that experience as a city boy before. So I made...

Apple Crisp

by RGF-Daddy | June 10, 2015 | Desserts, Egg Free, Nut Free | 0 Comments

I have a confession to make. When it comes to desserts, I usually forgo all others in favour of the flavour that has had me enthralled since I was a babe. In fact, that flavour is one of my four basic food groups - chocolate, cheese, chicken and chilies ... cha, cha,...

Candy Bars

I may have said this before ... but I'll say it again - I love cookies. One of my favourites has always been the original chocolate chip cookie. And if there's a batch being cooked, my wife has said I have radar for cookies and always seem to appear when cookies come...

Death by Ice Cream Cake

Warning: This recipe takes awhile and may not be worth sharing with others depending on what flavours you use. They wouldn't like it - it would likely only be for you. Why would you share it? Why do I have to share it? You can't make me share ... Shut up you and give...

Bailey’s Ganache

by RGF-Daddy | March 11, 2015 | Desserts, Egg Free, Nut Free, Sauces & Seasonings | 0 Comments

Typically a chocolate ganache is used to enrobe a cake in a sweet chocolate frosting that hardens into a smooth glossy shell. It's really simple to make a ganache, making your cake look pretty and easy to decorate if that's the way you want to go! This recipe utilizes...

GF Pumpkin Pie Trifle

by RGF-Daddy | October 10, 2014 | Desserts, Egg Free, Nut Free | 0 Comments

So as you might have guess from an earlier post, I currently live north of the border (American border into The Great White North). And that leads to not having one, but two of my favourite holidays - Thanksgiving! Or as I call it Turkey Day. For some reason, I almost...

Carrot Cake

by RGF-Daddy | September 29, 2014 | Desserts | 0 Comments

There's not a lot that you can say about a cake that involves veggies. I have loved a chocolate zucchini cake before, but carrot cake with cream cheese icing is the stuff that rabbit's dreams are made of. And I need to stop typing right there and compose myself for...

Wookie Cookie

by RGF-Daddy | September 3, 2014 | Desserts | 0 Comments

So a post featuring a cookie shaped as a Wookie should be a clear indication that I like "Star Wars." But in case you weren't clear, I grew up on "Star Wars", I have twins that are not named Luke and Leia (my wife's fault) and we will all be trick-or-treating next...
