I love having company visit for the holidays and find it to be a great excuse to cook for people.  While splurging on a restaurant meal or two with company is fun it gets to be a little expensive after a while!  This year one of my visitors has a gluten allergy which makes menu planning a bit tricky.  I decided to make this flourless chocolate cake recipe, which is one of my mother in law’s favorite gluten free desserts.  I was a little intimidated since I have never made one before but honestly, it was incredibly simple to make.  If you are looking for a gluten free dessert idea you should definitely try this flourless chocolate cake.  It takes only minutes to make and is absolutely decadent!

If you are looking for a non stick spray to use with your baked goods this holiday, the Pompeian Grapeseed oil spray worked wonderfully in this recipe.  Pompeian Grapeseed Oil is a rich source of Vitamin E and antioxidants and now available in a new, eco-friendly cooking spray can. Unlike some other sprays, Pompeian Grapeseed Oil spray can contains no propellants because of the newly designed pouch system, which also protects the oil from damaging light.
