   I tried your Pumpkin Loaves with Currants recipe and really enjoyed it. I made a topping to serve along with it which consisted of 8 oz. of Cream Cheese, a few heaping tablespoon fulls of Pumpkin Puree, Agave Nectar to taste and some Cinnamon. I whipped that all up together until it was light and creamy and it was very delicious served on top of a slice of the Pumpkin Bread. Thank you, Amy, for the wonderful recipes you share with all of us…Ann

   I’m so glad I just found your blog. I’m cutting out sugar in my diet as part of my new years resolution. Actually, it’s more than a resolution, it’s a commitment to a lifestyle change. Now I have so great recipes to try out.

   So glad to have found your blog. I have to cut out a little more than gluten and sugar for the next few months, but I’m hoping I can either find recipes on your site that will work or be adaptable. They look so delicious!

   I do have a question. When a recipe calls for powdered sugar, is there an adequate substitute for this?

   @Rebekah, There is a substitute for everything – you just have to be creative and stop wanting your food to be just like it used to be. I am still learning this very important lesson!

   It depends on what you’re making – I haven’t found a ’sugar free powdered sugar’ that will do what powdered sugar does, but I have been able to successfully work around it. It just depends on the dish and what I want to achieve.

   @Amy,
   For “powdered sugar” Put a cup of sucanat into a blender and blend until a powder forms. Use like powdered sugar.

   Hi Amy!
   Your site is amazing and your story is so inspiring!! I am going gluten free for 14 days and then will reintroduce to see if I have a response! I really admire your dedication- this is hard work!! I am making your restaurant style mexican beans right now and I had a question- I got most of the foam off, but there was still a tiny bit in the middle and on edges that I couldn’t get off, so I added the onions-now there is more foam and when i scooped it off, it had onions in it! Am I doing this correctly -and if so, will there be a little bit of white foam on top while beans are cooking? sorry – as you can tell, I don’t cook much! Thanks!

   @Lucy, Just keep skimming the foam – and keep the pot at at simmer so that bubbles are barely breaking the surface of the water – about 200 degrees F.

   I absolutely love the green smoothies. I tried doing your recipe and adding a dash or two of cinnamon. Very interesting combination. I am truly amazed at the sweet earthy taste. I’ve made one every morning this week!

   @Sasha H, I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! I have been adding some fresh seasonal fruit lately and it’s been just as fabulous.

   @DeJ, You’re so sweet…they really are heavenly. I’ve not published that recipe here. I used it in a cooking class last night – it’s one of the recipes I’m working on it for my upcoming cookbook. Sorry. I have to keep some of them to myself for now.

   Amy,

   I saw your post on Facebook about Freezer Cooking. I do some basics, but what got my eye was the Quinoa. Can you make Quinoa and freeze it? Also, what do you know about Quinoa Pasta and making it to use in a salad, but not assembling until the next day. I would love to cook 1 use twice method whenever possible.
   Thank you!

    My 17 yr old son was recently diagnosed as having a wheat allergy. He is going to a pot luck luncheon for his cross country team and needs to take a dish he will be able to eat. Would you please recommend one of your recipes for him to take to it. I love your blog and look forward to making many of the recipes. Thank you for all you have done.
