Spicy Green Pork Amazing (a.k.a. Pork Chile Verde) and a bonus recipe!
So, here’s the thing. Most of you will be able to make this recipe without making the bonus recipe for Roasted Green Tomatillo Salsa, because you’ll be able to buy safe canned green tomatillo salsa at the grocery store. With the corn allergy, I can’t because it’ll have citric acid or some other corny evil…

Fruit-Flavored Gummy Candy
So, before the whole corn and coconut thing, I was an aficionado of fruit flavored pure sugar candy. If it had fake coloring, fake fruit flavors and was primarily made of out sugar (meaning corn syrup), then I was your girl. Skittles, Nerds, Sour Neon Gummy Worms, Sour Gummi Watermelon Slices, Jolly Ranchers, Starbursts (particularly…

Spicy Red Wine Cranberry Crusted Pork Loin
So, if you’ve got leftover cranberries in the freezer from Turkey Day, this is a great way to use them up. And it doesn’t involve turkey, which you’re probably heartily sick of at this point. I couldn’t resist adding a bit of spice to this recipe, but it’s minimal in the finished product. If spice…

Roasted Autumn Vegetables with a Balsamic Glaze
It’s fall (I’m not discussing the “winter” word yet, although it snowed here yesterday) with all those yummy, carbohydrate-filled veggies available.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce – 4 Variations

Whatever Wednesday: Food Allergies – Time, time, time, see what’s become of me
I could do a food allergy parody of Simon & Garfunkel’s Hazy Shade of Winter or Pink Floyd’s Time, but that would take an awful lot of effort and creativity, and frankly, I don’t have time as you will soon see from this post. When I first went off milk, hazelnuts and scallops, I thought…

Killer Chocolate Fudge-y Brownies
So Mary Kate put up a recipe for brownies a bit ago, but it had almond flour, coconut flour and coconut oil in it, which are a big no-no for me. So I wanted to see if I could do a brownie recipe I could eat, especially with some of my new restrictions. Keep in…

Baked Eggplant and Zucchini Fries with Spicy Mayo Dipping Sauce
So my friend Mary, the kale whisper, managed to procure about 5 pounds of eggplants for me, or, in other words, a crap ton of eggplants, from her neighbor’s garden. Because she’s just that awesome and cool. So I made and canned 5 pints of Eggplant Caponata and 6 quarts of a version of Ratatouille,…
