  • Easy Buffalo Wings (Two Versions, One Gluten Free)

    Why buffalo wings?  Because I love them, and I can’t eat them out anymore. Buffalo wing sauce is generally made with butter or margarine, and therefore contains milk. And depending on the particular restaurant, the breading may contain milk and they might use an egg to coat the chicken before breading it. And many restaurants…

  • Happy Layers Nacho Dip

    This is that layered Mexican dip that someone always brings to a potluck.  I don’t recall being a huge fan of it in the pre-diagnosis days, but it was one of the random things I really missed when I suddenly couldn’t have it.  This version is only 4 layers (no sour cream and no olives),…

  • Wine Smoothies

    So, it’s Labor Day. If you have the day off, and if you imbibe alcohol, you might want to try some wine smoothies.  You might note that neither of these recipes contain bananas which many smoothies do.  That’s because I really, really HATE bananas.  I know, it’s a weird thing, but I don’t even want…

Hominy? What on earth…

  • Garlic & Ginger Bok Choi

    Bok choi is a vegetable which is high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and calcium, and often used in Asian cooking.  For those of us who are dairy-free, vegetables high in calcium are a good thing.  A relative of the turnip, bok choy has a light sweet flavor, and it’s low in calories.  I developed…
