  • Cajun Seasoned Shrimp Skewers

    Cajun Seasoned Shrimp Skewers

      As part of our Treat. Yo. Self. month, treating myself means seafood since I’m from Maine originally. I can still eat shrimp, but I have other shellfish allergies so I may lose shrimp eventually. But for now, I use them as an occasional treat. The recipe should be enough for about 8 skewers of…

  • Orange Chai Spiced Wine

    Orange Chai Spiced Wine

    To set the scene, it’s New Hampshire. It’s December. We got about a foot of snow in the past week and we’re expected to get a bit more soon. It’s freaking cold.  So I need a hot drink, preferably with alcohol. I’ve been seeing posts about chai hot chocolate and hot chocolate red wine, but…

  • Spritz or Cookie Press Cookies – Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Egg-Free

    Spritz or Cookie Press Cookies – Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Egg-Free

    I’m not a baker in general. MaryKate is a much better baker than I am and she’s more into it. I’m more of a “get an appetizer instead of dessert” kind of woman. But around the holidays I kind of want some sort of cookie. A couple of weeks ago when I was developing my Homemade…

  • Orange Spiced Stewed Chicken Thighs and Greens

    Orange Spiced Stewed Chicken Thighs and Greens

    Everything about winter here in Seattle screams “eat hot food with warming spices.” I thought I knew what I was getting into, weather-wise, as I lived in Oregon for three years. You know what Seattle has that Eugene, OR does not? WATER. Puget Sound and multiple lakes. From the hill we live on, we can…

    Cure Your Own Whole Ham

    Okay, so remember when I made a bunch of ham on the outside, but roast pork on the inside, roasts in an attempt to make ham? And I gave up and made Cure Your Own Ham Steaks? I found this post on Pelletsmoking.com that has a Ham Brining 101 post that finally helped me wet cure…

  • Roasted Yam Soup

This soup lives and breathes cilantro, and if you leave it out, there will be no point in making this particular…

  • Homemade Pasta, Gluten-Free, Vegan & Gum-Free

    Homemade Pasta, Gluten-Free, Vegan & Gum-Free

    Homemade Pasta, Gluten-Free, Vegan & Gum-Free This was not an easy one, dear readers. It took nine (NINE!) attempts to get one I thought was blog worthy, and that could be done hand rolling or hand shaping the dough for those of you that aren’t crazy enough to buy every little kitchen gadget available.  We…

  • White Fish, Avocado, and Polenta Stacks

    White Fish, Avocado, and Polenta Stacks

    This is the first official recipe from the West Coast Office of Surviving the Food Allergy Apocalypse, also known as “MaryKate’s kitchen in Seattle.” Also, Jack’s kitchen, and because we’re still unpacking and he gets home from work first, he’s actually done a lot more cooking in this kitchen than I have. But we’ve unpacked…
