Chinese Five Spice Chicken Noodle Soup

This is a Williams Sonoma recipe, modified slightly. It is really good. It's versatile too. To make a vegetable noodle soup, substitute mushrooms for the chicken and vegetable broth or mushroom broth for the chicken broth. To make beef noodle soup, substitute sliced beef sirloin for the chicken and beef broth for the chicken broth. This simple soup is fast and easy to make and it's a nice

GFCF Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles

Have you visited the Post Punk Kitchen yet? You really should. It's a lot of fun. Isa Moskowitz turns old favorites into updated veganized versions, like Tempeh Helper. How great is that? I need to try it one of these days. My family can't do soy which sort of defeats the point, but the "cheese" sauce looks interesting. We also can't do gluten, but that didn't stop me from making Isa's

Beets (The Whole Shebang)

I was walking through Whole Foods the other week with a friend. We were there to get lunch as Whole Foods is the only place I feel comfortable getting prepared food anymore. They list every ingredient they use in their foods on little cards next to the food item, from sausages at the meat counter to vegetable fried rice in the cafe section. I love that. I also love that they don't cook their

Cooked Amaranth

I tried cooking whole amaranth (which is used as a grain but is really a seed) for the first time last week. It's very easy to cook, similar to quinoa and millet. And like quinoa and millet, it's very easy to digest and highly nutritious. 1/2 cup amaranth1 cup waterpinch of saltBring water, amaranth and salt to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 25 minutes until the water has been absorbed

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

(Whole Foods also carries Let's Do Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones)Isn't this just too cute? Kids love these and they are perfect for birthday parties. I have a small stash in the freezer so the girls can have something special at parties where they cannot have the birthday cake. These cupcakes are so easy to make it's almost silly. Here's what you do:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 12 or 24

GFCF Onion Rings

My friend M makes really great onion rings. The first time she made them for me, I scarfed nearly half of them because it'd been so long since I'd had onion rings and hers were much better than I remember onion rings ever being. She showed me how to make them the other day and she let me borrow her really nifty George Foreman Fryer. I really love it - the basket spins and forces 50% of the oil

GFCF Egg free Chicken Nuggets

So, it's confirmed. My BFF's son is allergic to corn! Poor guy - I know how hard it is to avoid corn. All those boxes of Ian's chicken nuggets, etc., - the only pre-packaged gluten free chicken nuggets we can find that have no egg coating - rendered useless. I found myself thinking about this today as I was making chicken nuggets for my girls. I use my corn-free chicken nugget coating mix
