How Much Does Shortening Weigh
Originally posted August 4, 2014 Did you know that a half cup of shortening does not weigh the same as a half cup of butter? I didn’t! Since going dairy-free, I tend to rely on shortening more and more for baking. Measuring it in a measuring cup can be messy as the cup gets…

Easy Sautéed Chicken Breast recipe
Originally posted May 6, 2014 as “7 minute chicken”. On nights when I know there won’t be a lot of time to cook, I use this recipe/technique. It’s one of my favorite recipes from my book, The Warm Kitchen. What I love about it is that I can change the flavor profile of the…

The Best Gluten Free Chicken Tenders recipe
Originally posted April 2, 2014 Without a doubt, these are better than anything I or my children have ever had in a restaurant! Well, in my humble opinion, that is. When I make these, I make a double batch. We use half for the meal and I either freeze the rest or use it…

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. That means no butter, cream, milk or cheese. Olive oil gives the polenta a great texture but it also needs flavor.…

Originally posted September 27, 2013 Arepas (ah-ray-pahs) are a corn pocket which can be found on many street corners in Venezuela.

Gluten Free Chicken and Vegetable Tamale Pie recipe
Originally posted July 28, 2013 A few years ago, I made a version of tamale pie where I made tamale dough and put something in the middle (honest, I can’t remember; it might have been chili inside). I’m not sure why that went out of my rotation. More recently, I made a tamale pie…
