Gluten-Free Cardamom & Vanilla Bean Pound CakeHere in Southern California the stone fruits have arrived. I know that must make those of you who are still suffering from a cold and schizophrenic spring, green with envy. A few weeks ago we got cherries and apricots, and now come peaches and nectarines. For whatever reason, perhaps their great thirst in our terrible drought, they… |

Indian-Spiced Cauliflower & PotatoesI love brassicas. What are brassicas you ask? Maybe you’re more familiar with their other name–crucifers. No? More commonly, these vegetables are simply known as the cabbage family and are some of the most nutrient dense foods available to us. Chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, they are known for their… |

Paloma PicanteI’ve heard it said that the Paloma is the poor man’s margarita. And these days, especially with our lime shortage, I’d have to agree. Made with a mixture of tequila & grapefruit soda, there is nary a lime to be seen in this cocktail. It is, however, light, refreshing and totally awesome.Of course, just adding grapefruit soda seems too… |

Seafood & Chorizo Soft TacosIt’s no secret to those who know me well, that I am obsessed with Mexican food. Sometimes I eat it three meals a day. (Sometimes I only eat it twice). At any rate, it’s safe to say that it’s something that I dish up on a regular basis.Surprisingly, it is one of the few “ethnic” cuisines that all of my children can agree to like. My… |

Gluten-Free Buttermilk PancakesIt’s Shrove Tuesday. Or Pancake Day. Or Fat Tuesday. According to Christians, it’s the last day to party it up, or use up the fats and sugars before a more restrictive and presumably reflective Lenten season begins with Ash Wednesday.My husband’s family always had pancakes for dinner on Shrove Tuesday, which is an English tradition.… |

Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast CookiesWeekday mornings are sometimes painful events. Especially Monday mornings, amiright? My kids are getting older and teen circadian rhythms encourage late nights…and late mornings. Sometimes I feel like I need to prod them with a pitchfork to get them downstairs and out the door so they make it to school on time.But how awesome is it if… |

Gluten-Free Soft Sugar Cookies“And wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva… So tweasure your wuv. ” {The Impressive Clergyman from Princess Bride}I heart Valentine’s Day. I know that cynics abound, but love, true love, doesn’t just have to mean buying stuff for your Valentine. It can be celebrating our love for our friends, kids, family, life itself–and yes, our… |

Slow Cooker Chicken StockI have a simple recipe for you today. In fact, it’s so simple that I never considered it “blog-worthy.” But the other day, after whipping up another batch and getting it ready to freeze, I realized that my method for making chicken stock is so easy that everyone should hear about it.This rich and beautiful stock is the base for nearly… |

Gluten-Free Whole Grain Oatmeal Cranberry MuffinsIt’s hard to get three kids up and out of the house early in the morning. Especially in winter. Ok, lets be honest–it’s always difficult to get them up! But this time of year, when it’s dark and chilly, there is no place that my kids (and I) would rather be than snuggled up in flannel sheets under a fluffy down comforter.My kids need… |

Blood Orange Raspberry SmashBlood oranges are in season. And like so many good things, they are available for only a short while. But this year, I’m finding that they are especially bitter {insert the “no it’s just you” joke here}. Happily, bitterness works quite well in the cocktail world, especially when combined with sweet and sour–pillars on which many a… |
