Tropical Banana Bread
Free from: gluten, eggs (optional), soy, yeast and dairy
In our house, whenever someone notices bananas browning in the fruit bowl, the cry goes out “Make banana bread”! Today however, I only had two, not so large, bananas and I really didn’t want to go out to buy more. I did though […]
Gluten-free Chickpea Pancakes with Chicken and Arugula
Free from: Gluten, egg, dairy, yeast and soy
Made from gluten-free chickpea flour, Socca is a pancake that originates from the Côte d’Azur in the South of France. The first time I had them was not strolling along the Mediterranean but at a private event for my day job that I had […]
Dried Fruit Breakfast Smoothie
Free from: gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, yeast and sulfites
Smoothie, schmoozie you say. Well when you can’t eat eggs and you’ve given up refined carbs (temporarily) that doesn’t leave much for breakfast, so I’m eating smoothies a lot. Mostly I use frozen organic berries.
This morning however there were no frozen berries […]
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 […]
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
Free from: Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Yeast, Corn and Soy
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 […]
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 […]
Crash and Burn or How Not to Eat When You Fly
Oh God why don’t I follow my own advice? I’m bloated, drowzy, crampy and really uncomfortable sitting at Gate 47 at the Denver Airport. The problem: I ate the airplane food on my last flight. I got bumped to first class and somehow thought the food would be better, different, safe. Apparently […]
