La Oliva: Gluten-Free Kitchen

Edmonton friends and clients, if you are looking for delicious #glutenfree treats for the holiday season, my sister will be in Edmonton on Thursday. Place your orders, ASAP to guarantee your items will be there on Thursday.

My dear Edmonton Clients, If you are missing our bread, my sister's bakery will be shipping it's first order to Food in The Nud tomorrow. Their Rustic loaf is the same recipe as our Buckwheat bread that many of you loved. For more information, please read below.

Chestnut flour biscotti

Instructions: 5. Preheat oven to 350F. 6. Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl. 7. Add the chestnut flour, oat flour and baking powder and stir until combined. Add in milk, almonds, the chocolate drops, dried cranberries and orange rind. Mix until everything is incorporated. The dough will be quite sticky. 8. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and sprinkle with oat flour. Seperate the dough on the two baking sheets to form two flat loaves, about 2 cm thick. If the dough is sticking to your hands, use a little extra oat flour on top to help with spreading them out. 9. Bake them for about 25 minutes, then remove them from the oven, let them cool for 10 minutes. Cut them slantwise into 2 cm thick slices, then arrange them a cut side down on the tray and bake them for 10 more minutes, until slightly golden brown. 10. Let them cool down, then store them in a tin box.

I have never been a huge fan of smoothies but adding texture on top and calling it a smoothie bowl, I think I can get on board with that. Also, I get to be an artist first thing in the morning!

Here you go! First naptime hustle recipe. Olive & jalapeno hummus! 1 can organic chickpeas, well rinsed Juice of 1 or 2 lemons 1/4 cup tahini 1/2 cup black olives (leftover from pizza night)... 1/4 cup marinated artichokes (also leftover from pizza night) 1/4 cup pickled jalapenos 1 tsp salt (or more to taste) 1 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp smoked paprika Add all ingredients into food processor and then slowly stream in approx 1/3 to 1/2 cup of olive oil while it is blending. I like my hummus quite creamy so I let it blend for over a minute until I get to the desired consistency. Store in airtight container in your fridge for up to 1 week. If you have any cilantro at home, it would be a great addition. #naptimehustle #vegan #glutenfree #yyceats #healthysnacks #economical

I have had a lot of conversations lately about whether or not I will reopen my catering business in Calgary. I am really enjoying being a mom so currently my answer has been no.
That being said, my passion for cooking and baking still remains and I'd like to continue sharing it with you through this account and on Facebook. If I started an actual blog, what kind of recipes and posts would you like to see?

Our sweet baby girl made her appearance on May 9th! Her name is Amara Rose Darling. She loves to eat, sleep, go for walks and cuddle with her mom and dad!

Getting ready to host a dinner party! So excited for Spring that I couldn't resist decorating these cakes with berries!
If I hosted cooking classes or dinner parties from my new home in Calgary, would you be interested in attending? They would be similar to my classes offered in Edmonton. #yycglutenfree #yyccookingclass

Starting the week off with a little sweet and savoury. Featured here is my #glutenfree #vegan sourdough bread.
For those of you who are missing my bread, @spudyeg might still have some supply left and if not, you can always make the drive to Red Deer to visit @themapletreebakery! My sister's bakery makes a wide range of nutritious, high in fibre and always gluten-free breads and treats!
