Sweet tea is a staple in most Texas/Southern restaurants and homes. When Robert and I were first married, we had a pitcher of it in the frig at all times. Breakfast was the only meal we didn’t drink it with, and that was only because we were drinking hot tea first thing in the morning.… Read More Kombucha: Sweet Tea for the Crunchy
I learned to make these crackers at a “gluten free day” at a local health food store. I was asked to be a vendor that day with my book, and there were many other vendors serving all kinds of yummy gluten free foods. Another part of the day was a cooking demonstration by Ingrid Lysgaard,… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Homemade Crackers

Any gluten free folks (or peanut, dairy, egg free folks) really should get a subscription – always lots of wonderful recipes, helpful articles, and personal stories.

The last time I had twice baked potatoes was at a “progressive dinner” with my neighbors in Stillwater, OK – you know, where you have a different part of a meal at a different home throughout the course of an evening. I was the last house of the evening, and so provided the dessert –… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Twice Baked Potatoes
