Simple 100% Whole-Grain Gluten Free PancakesI have played with many kinds of whole-grain gluten free flours over the years. Well, some are not technically called grains. By definition, grains contain 3 parts. The germ, where the baby seed is. The endosperm holds food for the developing seed. And the bran, a protective covering. All grains are seeds, but not all seeds are… |

Foamy Black Bug JuiceI hope you are planning your Halloween dinner menu. How about starting the evening with Foamy Black Black Bug Juice? Sweet, tasty, fragrant. Spicy fragrance, not icky stinky. And just gross enough in a clear glass. Make this right before serving for maximum foam. You can spike it with ETOH (alcohol) for the adults if you like. |

Fermented Red Beet SlicesThe recipe is simple enough, but I wanted the fermentation process to be just as simple. Normally fermented pickles are done in a crock or glass container with a weight on top to keep the contents below the brine level. And then you have mold and scum that needs to be occasionally and regularly removed. This is not a nice task, and… |

Teff Date Nut Coffee Quick BreadIs this temping or what? I like to play with my food, and new ingredients. There was a bag of teff flour in the freezer, calling me. There were a couple of ideas floating around in my head. And I searched online for other ideas. There aren’t many recipes online for teff. Maybe because teff is hard to find, it is expensive, and… |

Gluten Free Spaghetti and Mushroom MeatballsThere is an explosion of choices now. I counted 8 different brands of spaghetti in the ever-expanding gluten free section of my regular grocery store today. What you really want to know is: What is available in my store? How can I be sure it is gluten free? Does it taste, look, and behave like “regular” pasta? How much… |

Gingered Beet and Berry SaladThis is intense. Intense flavor- sweet and spicy. A cool salad with a hit of hot ginger. Intense color- red beets and red raspberries. Intense texture- crunchy grated raw roots. Garden fresh. Beets, beets, beets. I ask myself, “What new can we do with the beets, just pulled from the garden?” Blue cheese, goat… |

Quinoa Salmon Salad with Lemon and DillIt’s too hot to cook! Luckily, I have some leftover salmon from yesterday. What to do with it? Quinoa is quick on the stovetop, it won’t heat up the kitchen. I have lemons and celery in the fridge. Dried tomatoes in the freezer. And lots of fresh dill in the garden. White, red, black, purple, orange? I have used white and… |

Easy Pressure Cooked Tortilla SoupThe ingredients and the process have evolved over the years. It took me a long time to try it in the pressure cooker. Now I wouldn’t go back to a stockpot. I used to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I’d dice the raw meat and throw it in the pot. Now I prefer bone-in chicken breasts. They are cheaper, more flavorful, and… |
