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,…

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…

“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.

Cure Your Own Ham Steaks
So, like bacon, commercial ham is a problem if you are avoiding corn and all corn derivatives. I’ve tried on multiple occasions to cure a 4-5 pound pork shoulder or a boneless Boston butt (pork butt roast), but the cure only goes in about an inch from the surface and then it’s like a version…

Valentine’s Day Gingerbread Frosted Cookies
Mary Kate and I try occasionally to think up recipes with holiday themes. Valentine’s Day is a somewhat of struggle for me, as I’m generally a bit cynical of the whole thing and not a very sentimental person. But I’ve been craving cookies for a while, and I’d gotten myself some cookie cutters (these…
