Yesterday I wanted to use up some cooked white beans that I had leftover in the fridge. You’ve heard of black bea burgers, right? Well, I thought, “Why can’t I use white beans?” Veggie burgers sounded just right for dinner. So I modified this dehydrated veggie cake, and it came out sensational. I’ll be honest,…

Larkburger Love (gluten-free, Paleo)
Earlier this week, my friend Lexie left a message on my phone, saying they had been to Larkburger in Fort Collins (half way between her house and mine), and that she thought there was one in Boulder too. She said I had to go and check it out. I cruised over to Lexie’s site to…
Gluten Free Cupcakes with Clementine Orange Frosting
I just love how recipes develop. You start with an idea, which you try. Hopefully it works out to some degree. You tweak it and try again until you have something good. Then one day you think, “If I took out some of this, and added some of that, I’d have…” So you modify it…

I was only half joking on Twitter when I said I could eat these spicy Hawaiian fajitas every day 🙂 They are so yummy. I just take my gluten free tortillas recipe and add a mixture of Daiya dairy-free cheese (you only need a little), ham, turkey, pineapple and hot sauce. Put them in a…

Creamy Japanese Sweet Potato Soup (dairy-free, gluten-free)
Lately my sweet husband has been doing some of our grocery shopping for me. I give him a list, and he returns with the food. Twice now I have asked him for sweet potatoes, and he has come home with Japanese sweet potatoes by accident. Have you tried them? They look very much the same,…

Gluten free Lava Cake
About four and a half years ago I found out I was celiac. So the last time I had lava cake must have been five years ago. Have you ever had lava cake? We used to live in a town on the East Coast that had a Chart House Restaurant right on the water. The…
