When you finally find a gluten-free flour blend you love, you celebrate. I’ve been celebrating with these Blueberry Crumb Bars. All. Day. Long. I’ve experimented with cassava, plantain, arrowroot, almond (before I found out I had nut allergies), countless packaged…
Rosemary Braised Beef
Perfect for cool evenings when you need something comforting and cozy, this unfussy braised beef with rosemary and root vegetables will keep you warm throughout the fall and winter. The secret is (1) use your oven and not a slow…
Cilantro-Lime Rice
I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with cooking rice on the stove top using the pilaf method — sauteing aromatics in fat, adding the rice and toasting, adding liquid and simmering, covering the pot and crossing fingers that it absorbs…
Kale Caesar Salad
Unfussy dinners have been our mantra lately — simple, but flavor-packed, and this Kale Caesar Salad delivers. Kale, after it’s been massaged, is surprisingly light, and the perfect, quick dinner side kick that adds a fresh, lemony, salty, bright balance,…
Homemade Fajita Seasoning
DIY fajita seasoning is a staple in our house. We’ve been dusting it on stove top popcorn, adding to chicken/steak/veg/seafood before grilling or baking, mixing it in sour cream for dips, and blending with oil and vinegar for dressings and…
Buttermilk Herb Dressing
Creamy, herby, tangy buttermilk dressing comes together in just a few minutes, with a few simple ingredients. There’s no comparison to the shelf-stable bottled dressing after you’ve made homemade, but using the wrong kind of buttermilk could be just as…
Cauliflower Summer Picnic Salad
I literally could eat an entire pound of elbow macaroni, smothered in mayonnaise, with celery, onion, carrots, peppers, and herbs all by myself, all summer long — classic macaroni salad. It’s what I grew up eating during the summer, assuming…
Baba Ganoush with Kalamata Relish
My food allergies and dietary restrictions have made me an expert at adapting recipes and substituting ingredients to recreate the flavors I love in a way that (1) doesn’t upset my stomach, and (2) won’t kill me. Seriously. Baba ganoush,…
Frozen Watermelon-Blackberry Fizz
Summer fruits are here, and I’ve been making all sorts of fizzy mocktails to keep us cool in the 98+ degree Florida heat and humidity. The mocktail formula is easy, and almost doesn’t even need a recipe. Freeze your favorite…
Homemade Corn Tortillas without a Tortilla Press
If you’ve never looked at the ingredients in store-bought corn tortillas, you should. Not only are they filled with GMO corn that’s been bathed in pesticides, but they also contain unnecessary additives to maintain a longer shelf life, pliability, softness,…
Gluten-Free Flatbread
I never settle when it comes to gluten-free baking. Recipes cannot be grainy or gritty, they can’t fall apart, and they can’t taste like dirt. Or cauliflower. Period. Not that there’s anything wrong with cauliflower. I love cauliflower, but I…
Gluten-Free Banana Bread
Here’s my promise. This gluten-free banana bread recipe works. It’s moist, tender, has the consistency of banana bread traditionally made with all-purpose flour, stays moist for days, has a high dome, tastes the way you’d expect banana bread to taste,…
