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…

Originally posted August 20, 2008; it was called “Amy’s Chili” 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…

I love making this with turkey but you can use any ground meat. If you use turkey or chicken breast (white meat), you should use the extra egg since breast meat is so lean. The combination of flavors is really tasty; this is a dish that most children and adults enjoy. Gluten-Free Meatloaf Makes…

Originally posted October 7, 2008 I love making waffles for the family; even on weekdays. I often make extra and put them in the freezer. My almost 3 year old daughter would eat them every day if I let her. She’s the one with the gluten intolerance so I’ve adapted a favorite recipe just…

Originally posted September 11, 2008;it was labeled as “The Best-o Pesto”. It also could be called “Easy Pesto.” Hope you agree! I remember when I first moved to California (many years ago). I had never heard of a Farmer’s Market back east. Sure, we had farm stands but I grew up in the country.…

Originally posted June 22, 2008 Some of you might understand this; others might think it funny. (Many years ago), while I was in my exercise class, during one of the hardest parts, all I could think about was this crisp I was going to make later that day. I thought about the berries, so…

Originally posted April 16, 2008 When I am asked for my “signature dish”, I always find it to be a hard question to answer. I have a few that I make over and over which would qualify. But when it came down to it, I thought about what it is I feel I represent;…

Originally posted March 17, 2008 Do you remember some of the products like “I can’t believe it’s not butter!” or “This can’t be yogurt!”? Well, get ready for “I can’t believe these brownies are gluten-free!”. I have been cooking and baking gluten-free since July 2007 when a doctor told me that one of the…
