Originally posted March 19, 2014 I wanted to tackle making a flavorful polenta without dairy. I was getting ready for a party with at least one guest who could not tolerate any dairy.

Originally posted June 23, 2012 I just want you to know that I don’t know and don’t claim to know how to cook everything. Some things I’m not interested in and some things…well, intimidate even me. I suppose the biggest factor in trying something new is giving myself enough time to fiddle with it…

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.
