    Gluten Free Biscotti recipe

    Originally posted May 17, 2010 This is often how things work with me. I decide at some point that I want something. Pizza, cookies, a madeleine…and since I’m eating a gluten-free diet, I can’t always go to the store to buy it. Or, maybe I can but it’s not always good. So it was,…

    Originally posted on April 12, 2010 We recently visited Sicily for the first time and I was happy to find a dish I had never heard of before, Pasta alla Norma. I don’t think I would have ordered it except I saw it on every menu and got curious. I was pleasantly surprised to…

    Originally posted on March 2, 2010 as “Weeknight Friendly Gluten-Free Meals: Quick Italian Cassoulet” If you could create a quick meal at home that tastes just as good as a restaurant, would you spend an extra couple of bucks?

  • Easy Caesar Salad Dressing recipe

    Easy Caesar Salad Dressing recipe

    Originally posted February 17, 2010 When I went to culinary school, I remember when we learned how to make Caesar salad table-side. It was always delicious, but the raw egg in the dressing always bothered me, especially after taking the Food Sanitation course. Salmonella is scary! Some recipes call for coddled or partially cooked…

    Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe

    Originally posted February 9, 2010 (recipe from The Warm Kitchen) Who would have thought that you could use the term “gluten-free” and “tasty chocolate chip cookie” in the same sentence? Up until recently, I didn’t think you could either! Even now, as I write this article, I just want to take a bite out…

    Amy’s Beef Chili recipe

    Originally posted August 20, 2008 I don’t know why but I have always loved chili, even when I lived on the east coast. If it had meat and beans, a bit of spice and some tomato sauce, yum-yum! I like it plain, over rice, over a baked potato, with French fries, with nachos and…

    Originally posted September 23, 2009 As some of you may know, this is one of my favorite recipes; gluten-free crustless quiche. It’s so easy and so many people like it from children to grown-ups.

    Green Bean Pesto Potato Salad recipe

    Originally posted August 5, 2009 I have to confess. My good friend Alison made this dish at a pot luck. It was delicious! I looked at the ingredients, asked for her permission and created my own twist on it. The combination of flavors is just delicious. The first time I made it, I didn’t…

    Gluten Free Gnocchi recipe

    Originally posted July 13, 2009 I can still remember my Aunt Vincenzina making gnocchi at our house when she was visiting from Rome. I was only 11 yrs old but can visualize the rolling, cutting and flour, everywhere. I sometimes forget how much I like them. This weekend, I decided I needed a fix…

    Easy Homemade Tomato Sauce recipes

    Originally posted on June 11, 2009 I ate a lot of tomato sauce growing up (although I didn’t like it until I was 5 yrs old). It was a staple in our diet. Some times even I think it’s hard to make or I’m maybe not in the mood. But when I taste fresh…
