Gluten-Free Vegan Tortillas and/or Pita Chips
Gluten-Free Vegan Tortillas and/or Pita Chips So you’re probably saying, ‘Denise, shouldn’t this be Gluten-Free Vegan Tortillas and Tortilla Chips, not Pita Chips’? And yes, that would seem to make sense, except that the dough when baked tastes more like pita chips than tortilla chips. If you baked or fried the tortillas after making them,…

Shrimp and Sausage Skewers
I know we don’t normally feature shellfish at all, given that it’s one of the top 8 allergens, but neither Denise nor I are allergic. If you are, I’m sorry. Come back next week. This is a quick and easy appetizer that’s pretty impressive. The key here is finding good spicy andouille sausage. I like…

Bacon-Wrapped Potato Bites
I’d write something eloquent about this, but doesn’t the recipe title tell you everything? My friend Corinne of spare cake made these for me a few years ago, and my guess is that she didn’t make the recipe up. It’s not even much of a recipe — just an amazing technique that you need…

White Bean Pizza Hummus

Beef Satay – Gluten-free with Soy-free option
I used to order chicken satay all the time, before the chicken and corn allergies reared their ugly heads. Since I can’t have chicken, and I’ve been craving satay, I decided to try the beef version to see if that would get rid of the craving, which it did. It was so yummy. If you…

Summer Mango Salsa
Apparently it’s mango season. In browsing the grocery store flyers looking for inspiration, I noticed that two of our three chains had mangoes on sale. I’ve never eaten a mango before, but I’ve had mango juice and liked it. So I thought I’d give it a try. Why not, right? According to the Mango Board,…

Tod Mun (Thai Fish Cakes)
Have I ever said how much I love Thai food? And that my first date with my husband was at a Thai place? Because of the corn, wheat, and coconut allergies, going out for Thai food really isn’t an option anymore. And I miss it, very much. I used to order this appetizer…
