Quinoa and Summer Vegetable Stir-Fry from Gluten-Free Goddess

Quinoa Summer Stir-Fry

Hooray for those wonderful summer vegetables that start showing up in supermarkets and farmers markets this time of year and in home gardens later in the summer!  Personally I eagerly await the arrival of squash, eggplant, green beans, and tomatoes every year, and I think this Quinoa and Summer Vegetable Stir-Fry from Gluten-Free Goddess looks like an easy way to turn them into a perfect Meatless Monday meal.  Read more >

Gluten-Free Isn't For Me

Bug and Stephanie

I used to think I was "lucky" that I had a child who, nearly three years in, hasn't exhibited any food allergies. I really felt for fellow new mothers who were painstakingly and scientifically cutting food groups out of their own diets as they struggled to figure out what in their breast milk was adversely affecting their babies. I quaked over the stories of Urgent Care visits and EpiPen deployment that were required to deal with surprise vomit attacks, hives, swelling and breathing issues. And while other mothers sought out allergen-free crackers and cookies, snacks and meals, I bought whatever I wanted. With all the stresses that motherhood brings, going blind reading the cramped and excruciatingly tiny-fonted list of ingredients in order to make sure I don't send my child into anaphylactic shock wasn't one of them. And I felt lucky.  Read more >

A Breakfast Version of Cobb Salad

Breakfast Cobb Salad

[Editor's Note: Salad for breakfast? Sounds good to me. I've never been one to relegate certain foods to certain times of day—after all, think how much fun it is to eat breakfast foods at dinnertime—and this seems like a great way to get in lots of nutrition and flavor to kick off the day. --Genie]  Read more

A Gluten-Free Rolled Cake for Passover

Passover Rolled Cake

[Editor's Note: If you're looking for a fantastic Passover dessert that can satisfy even your holiday guests who can't eat gluten, look no further. This cake will not only serve as a perfect cap to a wonderful Seder, but allows for those little cooking disasters that sometimes, despite our best intentions, happen during the run-up to an important holiday dinner. If the cake doesn't roll the way you want it to, as Lisa of Gluten Free Canteen says, just turn it into trifle! --Genie]  Read more

Polenta Tart with Lime

Polenta Tart With Lime

[Editor's Note: This is a beautiful and unusual dessert that puts polenta to use in an ever-so-sweet (yet tangy) fashion, rather than its usual role as a not-so-sweet side dish. Best of all, whether you can tolerate gluten or not, there's a version of this dessert for you. Give it a try before the citrus season comes to an end! --Genie] Always good to know a tangy tart -- Polenta Tart with Lime, gluten-free and traditional versions  Read more

Potato Bhajee

Potato Bhajee

Blog readers Barry and Sallyanne Scott scanned and sent me a vintage Jewish cookbook from Calcutta, India. The book, entitled The Jewish Cookery Book, was published by Mrs. H. Brooke and printed by East Bengal Press in Calcutta. It had been handed down to Sallyanne and Barry by Sallyanne’s father, Ezra Gubbay, a Jew from Calcutta, India. Here is an excerpt from Barry’s first email:  Read more >

Rellenos Redux: Gluten-Free Blue Corn Meal Crepe Chile Rellenos

Rellenos Redux

I LOVE this dish. As a New Mexican, I’ve had my fair share of greasy fried rellenos, and while they are delicious, they can be a bit heavy. My take on rellenos keeps the sweet and eggy flavor of the traditional battered and fried chile, but makes it much lighter by using a gluten-free blue cornmeal crepe. Roasted Anaheim chiles are generously stuffed with jack cheese and then rolled in crepes, then heated until the cheese has melted. Smothered in tangy tomatillo salsa and served with black beans, fresh tomatoes and cilantro, they are a spicy, sweet, tangy, New Mexican summer night in a single bite.  Read more >
