Hasselback potatoes are a dinner favorite here. They are so easy to make and fun to top with just about anything in the fridge. I love the flavor of Buffalo wing sauce, even though I’ve never had wings. The sauce paired with my dairy-free bleu cheese dressing makes spicy, cheesy Buffalo Hasselback potatoes that will…
Soften Saturday: a Gracious Lent
My softer thought for you this week is simply to have an open mind and heart when it comes to Lent. Regardless of your religious beliefs or faith, this is an excellent time of year as Spring begins to blossom to embrace a new practice, habit, an act of generosity. And it’s never to late…
Bourbon Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies. Oh my word. Bourbon. Bacon. Chocolate. Plus the cookies are gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, grain-free, refined sugar-free*, vegetarian and vegan. That’s a whole bunch of food labels when what you really need to know is that these cookies will blow your mind. Slightly crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Salty with smoky…
I Ate Here: Pizza Bella. Overland Park, KS & Kansas City, MO
We make pizza in our house the way many folks make sandwiches. I keep several socca pizza crusts in the freezer and we dress them up with just about anything. I love thinking beyond cheese and pepperoni when it comes to pizza. And so does Pizza Bella! I want to share a little about one…
Étouffée with Tempeh Andouille Sausage (vegan, gluten-free, spicy!)
Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, the last day of culinary and cocktail debauchery for those who observe Lent. In our house, that means Milk Punch and Étouffée. I’ve created a tempeh andouille sausage to go in my version, so you get two original recipes today! I’ve simplified traditional Étouffée and created a version that does not…
Milk Punch, A Cocktail for Mardi Gras and More! (dairy-free, vegan)
Mardi Gras requires a good cocktail. For some, it’s a hurricane or other rum concoction. For me, it’s Milk Punch. While some make it with brandy or whiskey, I prefer mine with bourbon. And hold the dairy, please. My memory of dairy-full Milk Punch is that of a thick, creamy drink with a powerful bourbon…
Soften Saturday: Being Kind Online
It’s easy, hiding behind the anonymity of the computer screen, to say things online you would never say to a friend in person. Or to a stranger. But being kind online? Apparently much more challenging. Often I hear friends who are also bloggers comment on the trolls, the unkind commenters. The words left in negative…
I Ate Here: canihaveabite, Kansas City, MO (gluten-free, dairy-free, veg)
My friends, readers and cooking class students often say to me, “I wish I could just hire you to come cook for me.” I’m always quick to say to them, “I want to teach you how to cook, so you don’t need me to come cook for you.” But the truth is, not everyone enjoys…
Ultra Lemon Brownies, A Recipe Remodel Challenge
If you like lemon, this post is for you. These Ultra Lemon Brownies are by far the most lemon-y sweet treat I’ve concocted. And they also happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free and free of refined sugar! I’ve got to tell you how this recipe came to be. A friend shared a recipe on Facebook. You…
Soften Saturday: Notes on Dining Out from “Gluten Lady”
This week’s Soften Saturday is a collection of thoughts on a recent dining out experience and how I can be softer. Unlike my usual “I Ate Here” posts where I share a recommendation on a great locally-0wned, non-chain restaurant, this week I’m writing about the challenges of being soft to ourselves when dining out with…
