GFCF Sandwich Wraps

I'm so excited! Did you hear me? I'M SO EXCITED! Seriously, seriously excited. We have been gluten and casein (and soy) free for months - but I've been cheating. I love sandwich wraps with a passion, so I've had a few here, and a few there. The problem with that is, the longer I'm GFCF, the more it hurts to cheat. I just can't do it anymore. And there is nothing, nothing gluten and casein

Cilantro Pesto

I love what cilantro and lime juice do to my taste buds. Here is a pesto that makes my taste buds come alive. Even Anna likes it.

Who knew?2 cups packed cilantro, large stems removed1/2 cup walnuts2 cloves chopped

Spicy Black Bean Burgers

This recipe comes from Bon Apetite. I changed just a couple of things about it because I did not have the ingredients called for immediately on hand, and it still came out really good.

Cod and Potato Pancakes

I love these potato pancakes. They are so simple, and oh so good. This is my favorite way to eat cod. I can't remember where this recipe is from, probably from one of my mom's old beat up cookbooks. The original recipe calls for flour and butter, which I have substituted with rice flour and canola oil. They'd be good with applesauce but honestly, I can't wait that long to be so polite. As
