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 […]

‘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 […]

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. It’s become the star of the day, whether it’s just gigantic, deep-fried, grilled, or even burned to a crisp. Everyone’s talking about the turkey. This year, I ask you to reconsider […]

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 […]

Thanksgiving is in less than a week, and if you’re anything like me you just realized that a couple days ago and are now panicking a little bit. Dietary restrictions during the holiday primarily focused on eating can be a bit of a challenge, so I hope some of my recipes can help make sure […]

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 […]

Every vegan and vegetarian cook knows that an important recipe to have in their arsenal is a foolproof black bean burger. Sure, they sell a bunch of frozen versions, but you know that yours is better. And an extra problem for us vegetarians with celiac disease is that 90% of the pre-made veggie burgers in […]

Let me start this recipe by posing a question…what do we all really want in this universe? Do we all really want world peace? Yes, of course. Did I also include a Miss Congeniality gif? Maybe. But seriously, if you’re being a bit more selfish with your answer, you know that all anyone really wants […]

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 […]
