‘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 […]

When it comes to recipes for holidays or large family gatherings, I always want to go all out and do something crazy and new that will impress everyone. More often than not, I end up with a dud recipe because I was too busy to fully concentrate on this new dish, or because I thought […]

Now that we have a yard and a gas grill, every time the sun is out I have a compulsion to GRILL EVERYTHING! So, it’s a beautiful summer day, I had some tofu in the fridge and a bag of fresh snow peas from my friend Tricia’s garden, and came up with this dinner idea! […]

Back in my gluten-eating days, I had a minor major pasta addiction. I’ve found a great brand of gluten-free pasta that is actually equivalent to regular pasta, if you can believe it (product review to come!), and I use that all the time! But I’ve always wanted to try making my own pasta, and decided […]

I will admit, I had a brussel sprout prejudice. Every time I had been around when they were cooked, they just smelled so odd I couldn’t imagine ingesting them, especially since you always hear complaints about these little vegetables. Well, I finally worked up the courage to give them a shot, and it turns out […]

This might have been one of the most basic, but most delicious meals I’ve had in a while. I used two recipes I found on pinterest, and one of my own. Combined, they made a great twist on the classic “pasta, vegetable, bread” dinner combo. I made Parmesan & Garlic Linguine, Roasted Asparagus, and Parmesan […]

Despite my crazy love for potatoes, I have somehow never cooked twice-baked potatoes at home! I changed that today. Didn’t do anything fancy, just made some straight up, twice-baked taters. And they were incredible. The recipe is way easier than I would have expected! Ingredients: 4 large potatoes olive oil 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 […]

I made some oven-baked potato fries for the Super Bowl, and I have a giant bag of potatoes left over and need to do something with them before they start to look like science experiments. So, I decided to try this recipe I came across a couple weeks ago with my own modifications. Ingredients: 6 […]

I am so excited to share this recipe, because I not only made quinoa for the first time, but I completely made up the recipe! True, this is not very complex and there are not too many spices involved, but having never cooked quinoa before it could have turned out disastrous. The only *oops* part […]

I have a serious pesto obsession. I could bathe in pesto. You could make pesto with any ingredient in existence (cookie pesto?) and I’d probably eat it. I found this recipe for pea pesto a couple months ago, bookmarked it, and finally got around to making it, and it turned out wonderful! I mixed up the […]
