Homemade Whipped Cream

I recently decided it was time to bust out some skills I learned in 7th grade Home Economics…homemade whipped cream! The only reason I remember making this one is because I giggled incessantly every time my teacher said “stiff peaks.” Give me a break…I was 12. And maybe I still giggle. Anyway, whipped cream from […]

Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks

‘Tis the season for soup…and all the things that get dunked in said soup! Although, I’m sure my fellow gluten-free people have noticed that all the great food for soup-dipping contains gluten. Sigh… Usually with tomato soup I go for a grilled cheese with GF bread for dunking, but wanted to change it up this […]

5 Reasons To Go Meatless This Thanksgiving

I am not all about that baste. Thanksgiving and turkey are so closely associated it’s nearly impossible to think of one without the other.

Vegan Gluten-Free Southwest Baked Potato

Southwest Sweet Potato

I drive home for my lunch hour every day for two reasons. 1. Most importantly, I go home to let my dogs outside and give the younger, and still crate-confined, pup a chance to run around before going back into the crate for the afternoon. Here they are after our exciting trip to the dog […]

Vegan & Gluten-Free Black Bean Burgers

Every vegan and vegetarian cook knows that an important recipe to have in their arsenal is a foolproof black bean burger.

If you’ve been gluten-free for any length of time, you’ve at least heard of Udi’s Gluten Free, if not eaten their food. Recently, Udi’s sent me a box of goodies to try, review, and create recipes for. It was Celiac Christmas!! I tried the Everything Inside Bagels topped with avocado, which were amazing. And I […]
