Halfway through my full-day video shoot for @castr Halfway through my full-day video shoot for @castrawberries today, I learned it was #nationalstrawberryday - what timing! I’ve currently got 10lbs of strawberries in my fridge and my kids are stoked for strawberry season. I shot a video and some photos of @tutti_dolci’s strawberry slab pie for @castrawberries last year - get the recipe for this pie on their site! For GF, sub in the pie crust from my gluten-free triple berry pie - linked in profile! #strawberrypie

{New} Gluten-free lemon drizzle cake, in partnersh {New} Gluten-free lemon drizzle cake, in partnership with @bobsredmill! This bright lemony loaf cake is the little black dress of cakes. Baking cake in a loaf pan instantly brings it into “suitable for breakfast” territory. Adding the crunchy lemon glaze shell makes it sweet enough to be the perfect dessert or snack cake. 
•
And this glaze, y’all. 😻 I used Mary Berry’s technique of applying the lemon sugar drizzle while the cake is warm so it hardens into crunchy icing that crackles as you slice it, making the crust quite possibly the best part. 
•
This cake comes together with four flavorful flours: almond, gluten-free oat, sweet rice, and tapioca. Get the recipe along with my substitution recommendations on the blog - link in my profile @snixykitchen! #lemondrizzlecake #glutenfreecake #bakedwithbobs #betterwithbobs #bobsredmill #ad

Ricotta toast with crispy pan-fried maitake mushro Ricotta toast with crispy pan-fried maitake mushrooms and flaky salt – sharing my go-to lunch in collaboration with @goodeggs. My neighbor and I meal plan on Saturday nights then place a delivery order together from Good Eggs and honestly, it’s the highlight of my week. What I miss most about going to the grocery store regularly was choosing from a vast selection of fresh local produce varieties from specific farms. Once we started this Good Eggs weekly tradition a few months ago, I was able to do that again, and still get all my go-to pantry staples. But now all in one place. From my couch. Swipe to see a sampling of what I got in my box this week! Among many other things, we both always order: whole milk basket ricotta from @bellwetherfarms and A LOT of maitake mushrooms from @mycopiamushrooms. Then we take turns delivering variations of this toast to each other – add flaky salt, herbs, greens, garlic, nuts, carrot spread, romesco – go wild!

To try Good Eggs, new customers can get $80 off your first 4 orders with my promo code SNIXY80 ($20 per order) or click the link in my bio or IG stories and the code will be automatically applied! #mygoodeggsbox #absurdlyfresh

For our fam celebration, I baked a single family serving of this perfect gluten-free chocolate cake as a 6-inch layer cake. See a picture of her cake in my stories and get the link in my profile! I used 1/3 of the recipe and baked it in two 6-inch rounds. #chocolatecake #glutenfreecake

Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. This cookie marks the shifting of micro-seasons from Holiday Winter to New Year Winter (TM). It's a subtle change, one mostly perceivable in the baked goods coming out of each, but one that I believe should be celebrated with plenty cookies (both before and after the seasonal shift). 
•
So here are are, firmly in the land of backyard citrus, so I’m making all the lemon desserts. These cookies have sturdy crisp edges with a soft and fluffy, but intensely chewy center and a punch of lemon. Get the recipe link in my profile @snixykitchen.

Time to dig into citrus season! Get the recipe for Time to dig into citrus season! Get the recipe for this gluten-free earl grey bundt cake with blood orange drizzle on the blog - link in profile @snixykitchen. 
•
Last year, Zoella (4) peeled and ate a blood orange she’d found in a bush in our side yard when we weren’t looking. We found the sticky peels on the steps and panicked - where did this blood orange come from? Did an animal bring it? Is she going to get sick?! 
•
And that’s how we discovered our neighbors have a blood orange tree. By that point, it had dropped most of its fruit except for a few very high up branches that leaned over our fence. The tree is fruiting and nearly ripe again so I’m hopeful I can barter for a bag of oranges in exchange for some slices of this bundt cake.

We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with t We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with this savory gluten-free dutch baby topped with gruyere, a pile of buttery thyme mushrooms, and garlic wilted Baby Kale. Getting out of our dinner rut feels refreshing! Made in partnership with @plenty, this breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime dish shows off their pesticide-free greens that are vertically farmed right here in the Bay Area. I’ve told you this before and it’s not an exaggeration when I say these are my favorite greens – they somehow taste fresher and more vibrant. 
•
I dropped some of this dutch baby off with my neighbor and, without prompting, she immediately texted, “YOM. I would make this. Greens are hella good.” It’s true. The greens are the star. If you’re in the Bay Area, use the link in my profile to find out where to get them near you!
•
Related big news: Ira (2) voluntarily ate cooked Baby Kale without throwing it on the floor or sneakily moving it to his sister’s plate. Even Ira knows a good thing when he sees it. 
•
For the gluten-free dutch baby recipe, search “almond dutch baby” on snixykitchen.com. Omit the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, and top it with grated gruyere 5 minutes before it’s done. For topping, saute some mixed mushrooms in butter with fresh thyme, and sliced garlic. Then add a few handfuls of Baby Kale and toss just to wilt. Salt & pepper to your heart’s content. If you want the extra flare, add a runny fried egg (eggs on eggs – why not?).
