Stuffed Cabbage With Roasted Potatoes and Root Vegetables

Mmm…cabbage, beef, spicy sausage in a rich tomato sauce. Potatoes, yams, and beets roasting in the oven with olive oil, garlic, and rosemary.  A comforting combination for a very chilly day. Sometimes, I simply cannot face another green salad. I long for hearty, “grandma-like”… Continue Reading “Stuffed Cabbage With Roasted Potatoes and Root Vegetables”

Monday Morning Power Breakfast

Ahhh, Monday morning. A bittersweet beginning. Happy to greet the start of what will hopefully be a productive and joyful week, but longing for just one more relaxing Sunday. I have a Monday morning theory. I believe that if you start off with a… Continue Reading “Monday Morning Power Breakfast”

Where Do I Start?

Let’s just face the truth, going gluten-free is a little stressful and a lot overwhelming. Many people not only have to go gluten-free, but dairy-free, corn-free, egg-free, soy-free… When someone receives that kind of news from their doctor, usually the first thing they experience is panic… Continue Reading “Where Do I Start?”

A Must Have

Unexpected gifts sometimes turn out to be the best gifts!  My aunt Judy bought me this cook book and surprised me with it several months ago. Some of its pages are dog eared, it is filled with sticky notes, there are food stains on… Continue Reading “A Must Have”

Gluten Free Focaccia Mix

Simply put, I love this product. Chebe has an entire line of mixes. So far, I’m stuck on this one.  I can’t get it out of my head. I’ve made focaccia bread with it, numerous pizzas, snacks for parties…the things you can add to… Continue Reading “Gluten Free Focaccia Mix”

Garbanzo Bean Flour?

  So I need to be truthful here.  I have spent the majority of my life despising the Garbanzo Bean.  I’m not even really sure why, but it’s probably because it was something I was forced to eat as a child! (I mean really, isn’t… Continue Reading “Garbanzo Bean Flour?”
