Quick Corn Chowder

Quick Corn Chowder by Alison Needham

Hi all! I’m thrilled to be reporting back for duty, after 2 long months of moving house, birthday celebrations, holiday celebrations, more birthday celebrations, and…well, you get the idea. I’m writing to you from my brand new kitchen. I have SO. MUCH. MORE. SPACE. More space to do what I love to do more than anything in the…

Gluten-Free Eggnog Cake

Gluten-Free Eggnog Cake by Alison Needham

{This post is from the archives…recently updated and ready for prime time. Enjoy!}Look, I’m no Sandra Lee–and most of the time I turn my nose up at cake mix. But sometimes, especially during the holidays, I need a quick dessert recipe. One that I can literally have in the oven in five minutes. One that fills my house with the most…

Persimmon Grilled Cheese w/ Goat Cheddar & Prosciutto

Persimmon Grilled Cheese w/ Goat Cheddar & Prosciutto by Alison Needham

Each autumn I struggle with what exactly to do with all of those persimmons that inevitably come in my produce box. You see, I don’t really love them–not the crisp fuyu, nor the more tender, heart-shaped hachiya. I’ve made them into cookies, dried them, and tossed them raw into salads. Every time I try them I’m really underwhelmed, to…

Tuscan Style Dressing w/ Sausage, Fennel, & Hazlenuts

Tuscan Style Dressing w/ Sausage, Fennel, & Hazlenuts by Alison Needham

It’s November! It’s NOVEMBER! And that means Thanksgiving is just around the corner. My first gluten-free Thanksgiving was just two years ago. I’m never one to mess with tradition…and traditional holiday recipes especially. But having no choice, I had to tweak just about every single Thanksgiving recipe to make it gluten-free.…

Gluten-Free Spice Cakes with Pumpkin Swirl Cream Cheese Frosting by Alison Needham

I’m not usually a cake mix kind of girl. But sometimes mixes really come in handy, especially when I’m pressed for time. There are plenty of gluten-free cake mixes on the market, and I’ve tried several with mixed results. But my hands-down favorite…

Baked Gluten-Free Apple Cider Doughnuts

Baked Gluten-Free Apple Cider Doughnuts by Alison Needham

In my life BGF (Before Gluten-Free), some of my favorite things to eat in the whole, wide world, were hot cider doughnuts sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. They are most often served at apple orchards and county fairs, fresh from the fryer, and passed through take-out windows in greasy paper sacks. I prefer the small doughnuts best,…

Tracy’s Delights

Tracy’s Delights by Alison Needham

My kids are back in school. Finally! I think that was really the longest summer ever. It was a good one, to be sure, but boy am I glad to have a little peace and quiet in the house. I honestly can’t believe it’s already the middle of September, mostly because it’s still one hundred and eleventy here in Southern California. But also…

Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread by Alison Needham

I saw it lurking under a giant leaf a few days earlier. I knew it was a big one, but how big, I really had no idea. I made plans to take care of it later in the afternoon. But I forgot (for three more days). By the time I remembered it was there, it was already a foot long–thick and shaped like a club.There is not much to do with a…

Summer Chopped Salad

Summer Chopped Salad by Alison Needham

The Hollywood Bowl is, to Angelinos, the music Mecca to which we make our annual pilgrimage (sometimes several times in a summer season). And for all the hubbub and tradition that surrounds it, arguably the picnic dinner is the most important. Whether it’s purchased at a gourmet market or restaurant, prepared by Patina Group on site,…
