Recently a friend said to me, “Oh, I feel so bad for you. I would just die if I couldn’t eat pasta or dairy.” I explained I still eat my share of pasta. And I’m not missing dairy because I use non-dairy milk, eat non-dairy cheeses, even yogurt. Then came, “But bacon would be the…
I Ate Here: La Bodega, Kansas City, MO and Leawood, KS
I’m a sucker for a restaurant with a patio. And happy hour. I love a happy hour bargain. La Bodega delivers on both counts. Half price drinks, including sangria (even by the pitcher) and tapas are offered from 2 to 6 PM Monday-Friday, 2 to 4 PM on Saturday and 4 to 6 PM on…
I Ate This: Daiya Frozen Pizza
Whole Foods did it again, they sucked me into the frozen food aisle. I find myself there every few months, usually on the way home from a 12-hour or longer work day, looking for something fast for dinner when I haven’t planned well. And also something slightly-less-objectionable than most processed, frozen food for this mostly-healthy…
Living Foods Pad Thai Wraps
Last week I went to a raw foods potluck. I was almost overwhelmed, everything on the buffet was safe for me to eat! I can’t remember the last time I had a plate of food like this, unless I had prepared it all myself. There is so much joy in sharing a meal with others,…
How To Be Gluten Free, a wonderful new e-book from Gluten Free Homemaker
I so clearly remember the day my doctor said gluten had to go. I remember her handing me a one-page list of things I would no longer be eating, cautioning me that it would be challenging and sending me on my way. But I’m tough. I like a challenge. I could do this! That attitude…
Strawberry Rhubarb Quinoa Crumble, A Sweet Start to the Week
It’s finally springtime here. For us Midwestern folks, that means rhubarb and morel mushrooms are making their way into the kitchens of those with a good connection. And a good connection I have! My sweet friend Judy brought rhubarb to me from her garden in Iowa. I enjoy eating rhubarb, but have limited experience cooking…
Brigadeiros, a luscious chocolate truffle with good-for-you ingredients
I have a fascination with Brazilian food. This might surprise you if your idea of Brazilian food is visiting a churrascaria to eat endless mounds of meat cooked on a skewer. What would a plant-based eater have in common with a meat-on-a-stick way of eating? Nope, it’s not about the meat for me. It’s about…
Maple Sesame Tofu
Often I hear folks say, “I tried making tofu once and it didn’t work out so well.” Or, “Tofu has NO flavor, it was like flavorless mush!” I’m here to save the day, to right the tofu-wrongs of your past! See, tofu is actually one of the easiest proteins to cook. Once you’ve got the…
Michael Pollan’s Cooked: a review and a signed copy giveaway
Friday evening my favorite fella and I went to hear Michael Pollan speak in Kansas City. He was speaking in support of his new book, Cooked. I need to come clean before I tell you about this new book. I’m a big fan of Michael Pollan. His book Food Rules was published at a critical…
Kale, Cheese and Onion Enchiladas, Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free!
After all of the Cinco de Mayo celebrating in the last week, I was hesitant to share an enchilada recipe. I thought maybe you were tired of cheesy, saucy, Mexican food. That could happen, right? Then I noticed my kale plants had been growing like weeds, very fast-growing weeds! All of the rain we have…
