Gluten Free Chocolate Espresso Biscotti / Mandelbrot by Farrell May Podgorsek

Coffee, chocolate and cinnamon are wonderful together. These crunchy cookies are a perfect treat. This recipe is designed to be gluten free but feel free to use wheat flour, eliminating the xanthan gum if using wheat flour. The GF flour gives these cookies a sandy, crunchy texture that I love. I buy organic sugar, which is a bit too…

Stir Fried Frozen Cauliflower by Julia Ann Souders

Fresh cauliflower looked so good at the summer's Farmer's Market. I froze several bags, then this winter wondered how to fix it other than boiling to get soggy limp cauliflower.

Pie Crust Crisps by Carolinaheartstrings

This month our food theme is All American Fare. Apple pie pops into my head when I think of a dessert that fits that theme. My mom was a great pie maker and apple was one of her favorites. She made the best pie crust ever. As a kid the part of the pie I loved the most was the crust that she trimmed off after she fit it into the…
