Fresh Fennel Slaw with Chili and Mint
Free-from: gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, yeast
I love cole slaw. When I was a kid my Mom got a Ronco Chop-O-Matic that made chopping cabbage, onions and carrots for coleslaw a snap. We had coleslaw at least once a week. In fact, I took the Chop-O-Matic to college and wowed my roommates […]
Moroccan Chicken Thighs with Roast Vegetables
Free from: gluten, dairy, eggs, yeast and soy
In our house, we call this Jackie’s Chicken because Ernie’s daughter, Jackie (surprise), who lives in Paris and prefers Moroccan food to French, made it for us. I vaguely recall sneaking into the kitchen to lick the pan under the guise of helping to […]
Gluten, Egg and Dairy-free Oatmeal Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
God Bless Fannie Farmer and Ruth Wakefield — the Moms, I believe, of American cookie baking.
The first published oatmeal cookie recipe is attributed to Fannie Farmer and appeared in the The Boston Cooking School Cook Book in 1896 written while she was director of the school (I can’t help but […]
Hot Quinoa Cereal with Fruit and Nuts

Quinoa is my favorite grain! Is that weird to say? Well, once you start cooking with quinoa you will know exactly what I mean. It quickly became a staple in my diet once I realized it was another type of […]
Gluten-free Eggplant Parmigiana
Free from: gluten, dairy, yeast, and soy
I have to admit, I make a pretty mean eggplant parmigiana and it stinks that I can’t eat it (dairy and eggs). But my family loves it, so I live a little vicariously through them. Actually, the process of making this dish still gives me […]
Basic Tomato Sauce
Free from: gluten, eggs, dairy, soy and yeast
There’s no excuse for bad tomato sauce. Why is it then that time after time we go to a reputably good Italian restaurant and the sauce tastes like canned tomato soup? For me, if a restaurant makes a good tomato sauce and tasty meatballs […]
Lemon Basil Vinaigrette
Free from: gluten, eggs, soy, yeast, dairy
I eat salad almost every day and I must admit I often just toss it with olive oil and lemon, salt and pepper. How lazy is that? Truth is it takes no time to make fresh salad dressing there’s no excuse not to.
This is […]
Greek Moussaka
Free from: gluten, cow’s milk, eggs, yeast and soy
This is a dish from my childhood. Truth is, I hated moussaka when I was little. For God sakes, it had bits of onion and weird almost slippery beige bits called eggplant. I was truly convinced my family was eating something different than […]
Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges
Free from: Gluten, soy, egg, yeast and dairy
I think I was a vegan* when I came up with this sweet potato recipe. Sweet potatoes are loaded with vitamin A and are a rich source of vitamin C and manganese. They provide fiber, don’t jolt your blood sugar as white potatoes do […]
Gluten-Free Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
By Tessa Tapscott
Free from: gluten, egg, dairy and soy
Nothing beats the nostalgic fluffy goodness of oatmeal pancakes. I remember waking up late Sunday mornings to the sounds of metal bowls clanging and the smell of sweet blueberry oatmeal pancakes wafting downstairs. I would quietly sneak upstairs, peer around the corner […]
