Gluten-free Vegan Dressing (aka “stuffing”)
So years ago, Denise and I posted a poll (which no longer works) as we disagree about whether the bread dish served with large birds is properly called “dressing” or “stuffing.” Denise argues that it’s stuffing. I argue that it’s stuffing IF it is stuffed into something (bird or vegetable, I don’t mind which) and…

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…

Roasted Yam Soup
IMPORTANT CONTENT NOTE: Those of you who hate cilantro, sorry. Please go Google one of the 100,000 other root vegetable soups out there. I know, your condition is genetic, and I’m sorry for you.

But we’ve unpacked…

Gluten-free Vegan Blueberry Pancake Casserole
This is a recipe re-make. As I posted on Friday, I do use existing recipes as starting points for creating allergy-friendly dishes sometimes. I read this blueberry pancake casserole recipe on The Kitchn and could not. stop. thinking. about. it. Drooling. I love pancakes, but after I’ve made the second one, I’m ready to eat…

Meatballs with Mushrooms, Onions and Spaghetti Squash
I’m not sure if you’re ready for hot food, but I really am. In order to get ready for work after a week of vacation, I needed something hearty but not heavy. Spaghetti squash seemed to fit the bill with some meatballs and mushrooms and onions. It seems I reach over and over again for…

Cold Roasted Vegetable Sauce
It has been hot this summer. Hotter than normal, longer than normal, and I am frankly rather sick of hearing the AC drone on. I want to cook food! I want to want to eat hot food. But I don’t. It’s hot. So what I’ve been doing is heating the kitchen way up one day,…
