There’s something about the aroma of blueberries baking in the oven with a sweet dough surrounding them. You can just smell the juices popping out of the skins and sweetening with the heat. I make a big batch of these muffins and keep them in the freezer for quick breakfasts on the run.

These gingersnaps have a fabulous spicy ginger taste and a good crisp texture. Instead of using the traditional molasses, as it can be difficult for some people to digest, I caramelize honey and low-glycemic coconut sugar to give these cookies that deep molasses flavor.

Like many kids these days, Asher is currently attending a nut-free elementary school, so my previous bread recipes are no longer useful for his packed lunches. This nut-free sandwich bread is one of only three recipes in this book that utilize yeast, an ingredient you don’t see very often in the AAG kitchen (see page 9). It’s not essential, but oh my word, does it deliver an authentic, bready taste.

Each year, my grandma Marge hosts a cookie exchange, and in past years, her peanut butter buckeyes were always the first thing to be eaten off the plate that I took home. Here, I use sunflower butter to keep these cookies both nut- and legume-free, and the no-bake peanut butter–flavored fudge is rolled into balls and dipped in a homemade chocolate coating that’s free from refined sugar, soy, or dairy. This is one of my favorite holiday treats.

My husband, Ryan, loves this sweet, full-bodied beverage that complements the spice and salt of Thai dishes. Generally made with sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half, and loads of white sugar, this rendition is made with coconut milk and honey for an equally enjoyable but healthy drink. Because this tea mixture is very concentrated once it has steeped so long, it shouldn’t be used alone but is delicious when combined with milk.

My grandma has been making batches of her mom’s biscotti recipes to give as gifts ever since I can remember. Sometimes she even dips one end in a little melted chocolate for an extra-special treat. Biscotti is one of the most requested recipe makeovers from my readers, so I asked my grandma for her recipe to re-create, and finally created a cookie that I am pleased to share with all of you.

Cauliflower is the chameleon of vegetables—it can easily replace many of the starchy vegetables in the dishes you used to adore so you don’t have to miss them. With my love for Asian food, the elimination of rice left a big, black hole on my plate and nothing to soak up the velvety, spice-laden sauces. “Riced” cauliflower is a magnificent grain-free substitute and can be served with anything from Thai to Indian cuisines.

Lemon bars are the perfect ending to a spring brunch, and they’re even easy enough for the kids to make as a special Mother’s Day treat. These bars have a nut-free shortbread crust and a tart lemon filling. In place of the powdered sugar that is usually sprinkled on top to balance the sour lemon, I like to top mine with finely shredded unsweetened coconut or fresh berries for a bit of sweetness.

My mom and grandma used to make fudge every year at Christmastime to give away as gifts or take to all of the holiday cookie exchanges. As I started to think about how to re-create that memory and a new recipe, I asked my mom if she had a copy of the recipe my grandma used. Turns out it was the one from the back of the marshmallow fluff jar! Instead of going through the trouble of making homemade marshmallows, then turning them into fudge, I came up with a simple recipe of just eight ingredients. Its flavor and texture are similar to the fudge I remembered. There’s no candy thermometer required, and it only uses one pot.

I created this roll especially for everyone who is egg-free (see Tidbits below for a nut-free substitution). If eggs and nuts are not a problem, I use the dough recipe from the sticky buns (page 88) with this filling and frosting.

Growing up in Colorado, I spent a lot of time playing out in the snow. Afterward, when I went inside, I would always warm up with a mug of hot cocoa. Those days it was straight from the packet with boiling water, but this dairy-free version uses a mixture of rich dark chocolate and cocoa powder to make a thick drinking chocolate. We drink it every year now while we decorate the house for Christmas, or visit the mountains so Asher can see snow. He prefers his without the peppermint, so I ladle his out before adding it. Top with gooey Marshmallows (page 306), or add coffee to turn this into a peppermint mocha (see Tidbits).

Despite its name, this breakfast hash can be enjoyed year-round, with a couple of substitutions for the vegetables depending on what is in season. Eggs are optional, but the silky yolks really complete the flavor!
