I made a Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving that everyone really enjoyed. Here's the recipe:
1/2 small sugar pie pumpkin (or 2 cups canned pumpkin if you're in a hurry)
3 eggs
1 cup non-dairy milk. I used
Living Harvest but any other brand would likely work as well.
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
Bake the pumpkin, cut side down, on a baking sheet for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until soft. Remove skin and place pumpkin in a food processor or blender. Blend until pumpkin is very smooth. Transfer pumpkin to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes so that it thickens.
(Next time, I am going to try baking the pumpkin cut side up to see if I can eliminate this step.) Place all ingredients in a large bowl and use a whisk to mix well. Pour into prepared
pie crust and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

I just made an awesome quiche in the absolute best pie crust I have ever made. As a bonus, it was gluten-free. As an additional bonus, it disappeared in no time flat. Quiche recipe to follow next week - stay tuned.
In a food processor, place 1 cup white rice flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse a few times with feed chute covered. Cut ¼ cup butter into small pieces and add to food processor. Process until butter is mixed in with flour mixture. Add 1 egg and 3 teaspoons cold water and process just until evenly combined. As this dough will not stick together as gluten dough would, simply turn the entire mixture into a pie plate and press around and up the edges with a fork. Place in fridge while preparing filling.
This is based on the recipe from Chaotic Cooking.

I've finally come up with a banana bread recipe that can be wheat-free, is at least relatively healthyish and, in Ms. Mango's and my opinion, quite tasty. Here it is:
In a bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, ½ cup sugar, 1½ teaspoons baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, mash 4 very ripe bananas, leaving a few small chunks of banana if you desire. To the bananas, add: ½ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup soft butter, and 1 egg. Beat until well-blended. Fold in the flour mixture and mix until just blended. Transfer to a greased loaf pan and bake at 350° Fahrenheit for 55 minutes.
