Sweet and Sour Chicken over Brown Jasmine Rice and Red Quinoa A very good friend of mine was excited to share a sweet and sour chicken recipe with me that was healthy and that her husband loved. How often does that happen? She thought I should try it too, since my kids tend to like […]

Homemade chicken broth recipe
Often, when I see chef’s on TV saying, “Oh, just make homemade chicken broth; it’s so easy”, I think, do they have soccer games, birthday parties and laundry to do? But every once in a while, like after I have a rotisserie chicken, I will make my own broth. When it’s all done, I realize […]
Polenta lasagna with roasted veggies and gorgonzola recipe
This went so quickly, there are no other pictures! When I’m asked to create a recipe, I often have what I call a vision of a dish. I know it should work because I’ve done something similar before and I’m generally good at putting flavors together. For a dish for the CUESA Ferry Plaza Farmer’s […]
Gluten-free Margherita Pizza recipe
That’s me, serving the GF Pizza while everyone waits patiently Last month, I taught a Gluten-Free Baking class. It always gives me pleasure to see people get excited about good tasting food. I think this is especially the case with gluten-free because there is a lot gluten-free food out there that isn’t good. For this […]
Easy Black Bean Soup recipe
Soups are economical and easy to prepare. Generally, the way I make it is the same. Sauté the vegetables with seasonings. Add broth and other pantry ingredients. Bring to a boil and then simmer. My soup recipes all have a pattern. Once you learn how to make soup, it’s so easy to change a few […]
Moroccan Slow Cooker Chicken recipe with Almond Millet
Now that the cookbook is really coming along, I’m deciding which recipes to include. When I looked at the recipe for Moroccan Chicken, I realized it would do well in the crock pot (or slow cooker; one’s just a brand name). In the cookbook, it’s made in a pan but I wanted to try a […]
Easy Yellow Curry Dinner over Quinoa Rice
People may assume I cook everything from scratch but I don’t. I like to use tasty sauces as a short cut but get creative with what gets simmered. It’s also easy to boost nutrition by adding extra ingredients like quinoa or chopped chard, for example. Besides eating gluten-free, I am also choosing to eat vegetarian […]
Greek Casserole recipe with a Gluten-Free variation
Yummy Greek Casserole is quick and easy While trying to come up with quick and easy meals for one of my customers, I envisioned a casserole similar to a Shepherd’s Pie but with Greek flavors. I created a base recipe but needed to test it first. My husband even asked where it came from. Uhm, […]
Gluten-Free Biscotti
This is often how things work with me. I decide at some point that I want something. Pizza, cookies, a madeleine…and since I’m eating a gluten-free diet, I can’t always go to the store to buy it. Or, maybe I can but it’s not always good. So it was, that day, when I really wanted […]
Gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe
Who would have thought that you could use the term “gluten-free” and “tasty chocolate chip cookie” in the same sentence? Up until recently, I didn’t think you could either! Even now, as I write this article, I just want to take a bite out of one of those cookies. Lucky for me, I put a […]
