Cashew-Ginger Hummus
This recipe came out of what I had in the house when I wanted to bring some hummus over to Denise’s for a gathering. Denise is allergic to sesame, an allergy I understand is becoming more common, but not allergic to cashews. I’m not sure how common this combo is, but if your diet allows…

Homemade Margarine, New and Improved
Some of you may remember when I posted about my margarine experiments in a Whatever Wednesday post. I’ve been using it for a while, but I wasn’t completely happy with it. The psyllium husk powder I used as an emulsifier didn’t melt well when I wanted to use it for things like lobster and there were gummy bits.…

Reuben-esque Potato Pile
Sitting in a random deli in Providence, RI, on an April Friday afternoon, I was drinking some odd flavor of coffee (that was actually really tasty, and I’m not usually a fan of flavored coffee). Jack left me alone for about 3 minutes while the deli woman made a hot chocolate for him. When he…

Fajita Marinated Steak Tips
Fajita Marinated Steak Tips Well, I was going to go all ‘Denise-crazy’ on you guys and make the tortillas I posted two weeks ago and cashew sour cream (since I don’t have commercially available safe products) and make fajitas that looked all pretty, but my mom is visiting and I’m exhausted from pruning the rhododendrons…

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,…

Klingon Boneless Ribs
Okay, so here’s the story: I’m a die-hard nerd, but I tend to flit about in the nerdiverse a lot. I would not have called myself a die-hard Star Trek fan (although I did in my senior high school yearbook!), but I’ve been surrounded by them most of my life. Since Netflix added them all,…

Breakfast Casserole
Okay we’re back from break. Not sure I’ve gotten all the garden stuff done that I need to get done, but so be it. Without wheat, dairy, egg, and corn, breakfast foods are pretty hard to manage around here. I eat a lot of oatmeal. A lot. More than I ever wanted to. And I…
