Basil Plum Sauce
This month, we were aiming to be inspired by what’s growing where we live. For Denise, this means what her garden is producing. For me, it means actually making time to go to the farmer’s market. I love the farmer’s market, but I’m rather lousy at managing to go shopping at a specific time every…

Kale, Cranberry, and Ginger Salad
Last week was really not my week. I was in a bad mood and things kept happening to reinforce that, plus I was super busy and not sleeping well, and all around, it did not go well. I need my sleep, people. I am not a nice person without it. So I don’t know why…

Gluten-free Vegan Sprinkle Cookies
We were supposed to rework recipes this month, but nothing I want to work with is actually lending itself to rehabilitation. I was stuck. Then my friends at Treehouse Bakery in Phoenix posted this amazing photo of stacks of sprinkle cookies (see July 28th) and I was obsessed. The bakery is vegan, but I don’t…

Gluten-free Vegan Almond or Cashew Brownie Cookies
So, back in 2012, I thought I’d achieved brownie nirvana with my At Last Brownies recipe. I’d perfected a “normal” baking brownie in the year before, and this was my great gluten-free version. Then Denise posted her Killer Brownies recipe, adjusted for her then-allergies. Lately, neither of these versions is working great for me. I…

Vichyssoise — dairy-free
I am cheating here. You should know that up front. It is still condiment month around here, but rules that we make for ourselves are made to be broken, right? I could work out a long reason to connect cold potato soup, Memorial Day observances, and condiments, but let’s not. Let’s say that it’s getting…

Onion Barbecue Sauce
For condiment month, I really wanted to make a barbecue sauce. I’ve tried a handful out here on the west coast, but nothing I’ve loved. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve had a favorite in years, except for the family secret sauce of my old neighbor. And since he isn’t giving it up, I was…

A great condiment be tailored to your food allergy needs and can make the difference between an okay meal and an awesome meal. Check out our condiment category to see what we’ve posted before (a personal favorite of mine is the…

Rice and Peaches Breakfast Porridge
Originally, my plan for this week had been to post a granola recipe, but I’m still fighting with it. I’ve made granola! It’s perfectly edible. It’s cheaper than the stuff at the store. But it’s still rather boring. So instead, while I perfect that, I’ve made a porridge that you can top with rather uninspired…
