Gluten-free Pie Crust (vegan option)
When I first was diagnosed with my wheat allergy (yep, actually allergic, not celiac), I tried to do a pie crust. I figured that all I’d have to do is mix some rice flour with shortening (I still had a safe-ish one at that point) and a bit of salt and voila, it’d all work…

Mediterranean Fried Rice
On a recent trip that took us through Scranton, PA, I had an awesome dish that the menu called “Lebanese Fried Rice.” It was brown rice, chickpeas, walnuts, and some vegetables, and it was a perfect lunch. I loved it, and thought that it would make a simple, hearty side dish for the blog, though…

Apple Cake, Vegan and Gluten-Free

Mary Kate’s Perfect Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
The problem with chocolate chip cookies? Everyone likes them differently. Some people like them soft, others chewy, some crunchy. This is why there are a billion recipes out there. And when your recipe no longer works for you, you might try 5 recipes and still be disappointed. Because “just like Mom made” may not be…
