Gluten-Free Goat Butter Shortbread

Gluten-Free Goat Butter Shortbread by Alison Needham

The choice between sweet or salty, for me, is an easy one. I choose salt every time. Call me crazy, but I’d rather have more dinner for dessert, than dessert. So when I first tasted savory shortbread, made from a Barefoot Contessa recipe before I had gone gluten-free, I was instantly deeply, madly, passionately in love. They have the…

Happy Friday, friends! Today’s edition of Cocktail O’ Clock comes from my sweet friend (and fellow ginger) Stacy of Wicked Good Kitchen.

Radish & Cucumber Salsa

Radish & Cucumber Salsa by Alison Needham

It’s no secret that I love Mexican food. And by love, I really mean that I’m completely obsessed with it. I could eat it three meals a day–and frequently I do. There is something so magical about the way fresh and rich flavors meld together, often spiked with searing heat.Salsa, which means sauce in English, is an accompaniment to…

Beet, Carrot, Apple & Ginger Juice

Beet, Carrot, Apple & Ginger Juice by Alison Needham

I have been dancing my arse off lately, which is a good thing, but keeping my body fueled and energized can be a challenge, especially when I’m in a hurry.When I feel the need to replenish and restore, either do to over-indulgence or over-exertion, I turn to juicing. Green juice made from kale is my juice of choice, but sometimes it’s…

Gluten-Free Fudge Cake

Gluten-Free Fudge Cake by Alison Needham

Sadly, year after year, it sits before us like some enormous crap-shoot; Will we owe money? Will we get it back? And also usually, where is that…

Gluten-free Muesli Breakfast Cookies

Gluten-free Muesli Breakfast Cookies by Alison Needham

I am not a morning person. I have never been a morning person. In fact, I have painful memories from my childhood, where I was forced to sit with my family each morning and have breakfast. My father–definitely an early bird–would chirp questions at me in rapid fire; How did you sleep? Did you do your homework? What do you think about…
