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…

Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
Honey mustard reminds me of childhood, specifically this restaurant, Ray’s on the River, outside of Atlanta. Apparently, it opened in 1984. We moved there in 1985, and my dad bought a piano “for the family.” What that meant was that my brother and I were signed up for piano lessons, with mandatory yearly recitals that…

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,…

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…

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…

“Eggy” Burmese Tofu
I made this recipe from Girl Cooks World as part of a weekend of making random tofu experiments. I used besan flour (very finely ground chickpeas) and got a very smooth tofu, but it was more like a silken tofu. When I fried it in sticks, trying to emulate panisee, the interior got soft and gooey, and…
