I wouldn’t recommend eating these in the same manner as the fudge pops from a couple of weeks ago….unless you really, really love pesto, but this is a really great way to store your homemade pesto, which my friend Kim reminded me of last week. And just in time too, because there are rows and… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Pesto Pops
The West Lynn Cafe used to be a very popular vegetarian cafe in Austin, TX where I was a college student years ago. I believe the restaurant closed a few years back and in its place now is the Cosmic Cafe! This pasta salad recipe is one that was popular at the West Lynn. It… Read More Gluten Free Friday – West Lynn Cafe Pasta Salad
Just because we’re not exactly having a warm summer doesn’t mean that the kids aren’t searching the freezer for popsicles! I posted a couple of recipes for homemade ones last summer, so this year I’ll add a couple of recipes for fudge pops. I usually have trouble finding fudge pops that don’t have wheat starch… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Fudge Pops!
This will be our 8th season (I think) to be a part of a CSA – a Community Supported Agriculture farm called the Brookfield Farm. The season runs from June through Thanksgiving and provides and abundance of fresh, local, and organic fruits and vegetables. And not only that, but other local farms, dairies, etc. have… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Farm Fresh
I have enjoyed eating granola for a long time – even before moving to this “crunchy” and “granola” part of the country! But oats are a very questionable thing to eat on the gluten free diet. Oats themselves do not contain gluten, but they are almost always grown and processed right alongside wheat, so to… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Pan-Roasted Granola & Homemade Lemonade
I hardly ever make gluten free cookies, except for the flourless peanut butter ones, because the end result just never seems comparable to the real thing. But….I received a note in the mail this week from my sweet friend Deborah in Stillwater, OK, and she had included a recipe she cut out of their local… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Chocolate Chip Cookies
I found a week long – 3 meals a day plus snacks – meal plan in Natural Health magazine a few weeks ago. The “recipes” were so creative and yummy looking, that I bought the magazine and followed almost the entire week’s worth of meals. The ingredients are what drew me to the plan –… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Pesto “Pita” Dinner
So, a cookbook that I mentioned checking out from the library officially became mine on Mother’s Day thanks to the thoughtfulness of my husband – Mollie Katzen’s Sunlight Cafe. It is mostly breakfast foods, but so many of them could be eaten at any time of the day. We’ve already tried a couple of her… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Buttermilk Pancakes
This one comes from my friend Aimee. Her family had ours over for dinner about a year ago, and this was the dish she made for us along with lots of garden fresh squash and other veggies. I have made this recipe twice since then, and both times for a crowd. Once for a mid-week… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Spaghetti Pie
One dish I remember my grandmother making often was rice pilaf. It was one of our favorites, and she always served it with peas. So, when I recently came across a recipe for a rice salad that sounded like this favorite food from the past, I had to try it out. The original recipe comes… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Peas and Rice Pilaf Salad
