On nights when I know there won’t be a lot of time to cook, I use this recipe/technique. It’s one of my favorite recipes from my book, The Warm Kitchen. What I love about it is that I can change the flavor profile of the chicken based on what herbs and spices I […]

Gluten Free Molasses Ginger Cookies
My good friend Corrine makes the most delicious molasses ginger cookies. She offered some to me last week, 1 day into my Gluten Free (GF) experiment. I had to decline. But, it did motivate me to seek out a great gluten-free molasses ginger cookie that has the flavor and texture like hers but is gluten-free. […]

When Adriana López Vermut of Pica Pica Maize Kitchen invited me to come to her restaurant to make arepas, I gladly agreed. She would teach me how to make them and I would bring one of my family-friendly recipes that would work as a filling. What a great deal! The icing on the cake was […]

The best gluten-free chicken tenders
Without a doubt, these are better than anything I or my children have ever had in a restaurant! Well, in my humble opinion, that is. When I make these, I make a double batch. We use half for the meal and I either freeze the rest or use it for lunches or leftovers. You can […]
Massel stock makes chicken-less stew taste like chicken
I was first introduced to Massel’s bouillon and stock products earlier this year when they asked me to do a few blog posts after reviewing their products. At home, I like to use products that are gluten-free and dairy-free for my family and without a lot of added “stuff”. What I didn’t know at the […]
Vegan Polenta tastes great with Massel Bouillon
I suppose we all get used to brands and products that we like. But, as we know, sometimes change is good. When Massel approached me with an opportunity to review their products, I was curious since I had not tried it before. I liked the fact that their products are clean, free of things like […]
