• Gluten Free Victoria Sponge

    May 29, 2021cookwcharacter

    I LOVE Victoria Sponge. For real. Its simple, easy, and if you want something sweet, but not too sweet, it just hits the spot. But then I have that whole gluten intolerance thing. Which is a major problem when the recipe only has six ingredients. But I decided to give adapting my recipe a try,…

  • Gluten Free Oreo Fluff

    March 16, 2021cookwcharacter

    If you want a quick, cold, light dessert that’s delicious, this is it. Seriously. Its 4 ingredients and takes about 10 minutes to make. What’s not to love? You’re going to need a large mixing bowl, a mixer, a spatula, and your ingredients. And possibly a rolling pin or something heavy to crush your oreos.…

  • Butterbeer Ice Cream

    For this recipe, I have a confession – I have not yet tasted Universal Orlando’s butterbeer. BUT – this is how I imagined butterbeer would taste based on reading the books. I think it is a pretty tasty dish, regardless! I’m actually planning to use this as the filling in an upcoming ice cream sandwich…

  • Gluten Free Pop Tarts

    January 28, 2021cookwcharacter

    One of the things I was sad to say goodbye to when I found out I had a gluten intolerance was Pop Tarts. I mean, who doesn’t love a good brown sugar & cinnamon pop tart? Luckily, I managed to take a recipe I’d scribbled down eons ago from somewhere and altered it quite a…

  • Sanaa’s Chai Cream

    When my husband and I ate at Sanaa, at Kidani Village in the Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort, it was seriously one of the best meals we’ve ever had at Disney. And it wasn’t busy!? If you’re ever in the park, you have to try and eat there. Trust me, its worth the bus ride there.…

  • Gluten Free Boardwalk Pecan Shortbread Cookies

    August 15, 2020cookwcharacter

    Today I’m posting a version of the Pecan Shortbread cookies from the Boardwalk Bakery that I’ve adapted to make gluten free. You may wonder why I’ve decided to do that, since nothing else has been gluten free on the blog thus far. Well, I’ve had some health issues, and one of the things that I…

  • Disney’s Contemporary Resort Granola Snack Bars

    August 14, 2020cookwcharacter

    Today I’m making the Contemporary Resort’s Granola Snack Bars. Disney Parks released the YouTube video recipe recently, and I figured it was an easy way to use up some homemade granola. If you want to watch the video, you can view it here. The recipe is basically the same principle as rice krispie treats. Super…

    If you are looking for a decadent dessert that will hit your need for an almond flavored sweet, then this is the thing you need to make! These are super easy, and while I did each step – creamed my sugars and butter, added the eggs, creamed again, added the dry, mixed, and then folded…

They will range from drinks to dip mix to desserts – anything and everything! Some are Disney recipes, and others are not. I’ve been…

  • Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies (Even if I do say so myself)

    March 7, 2020cookwcharacter

    I know. Everyone claims they have the best cookie recipe, but seriously, these are awesome. I’ve been trying to find a recipe that would measure up to the chocolate chip cookies I used to get in Galena, MD when I worked at summer camp for eons. These are as close as I’ve been able to…
