Chili Cornbread with Maple Butter There is a restaurant near our home called, “Redstone Grill” and it’s one of those places where you always leave happy and satisfied. The warm atmosphere has a classy-rustic feel from the woodfire grill that fills your senses with smokey fireside aroma’s as you walk through the mahogany doors. Fireplaces…
Snap Pea Salad A deliciously light and fresh salad bursting with the flavors of Summer. Racing out the door on those busy mornings often has me scrambling to find something to pack for lunch. Options are limited when on the road so I either drink a lot of water or snack on gluten free protein…
Dreamy Carrot Cake I love carrot cake…especially with cream cheese frosting, but I’ve never made it from scratch – even in my gluten eating days. Remember, I wasn’t much of a baker then, but with my gluten free motto, “don’t miss it…make it!”, I was spinning all day until I got it right. And ohhh…
Spring Rolls I’ve been making Spring Rolls of every variety lately, and I’m having fun doing it. Once you start making them you’ll think of all the fresh veggies, seafood, meats and herbs you can add to make another variation. I’ve been bringing them to parties for an appetizer and they are always well received,…
Eating Organic = Jerk? This morning before heading out for my walk I saw a short blurp on the news about eating organic and how it can turn you into a jerk. Hmm…now that’s food for thought. I came back and Googled, “Organic Food Turns You Into a Jerk” and sure enough there were dozens…
Chicken Fingers for Madeline I’ve been meaning to experiment with chicken fingers since my son-in-law’s niece, only two years old, was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last November. Sweet-Sweet Madeline. It’s one thing to learn to eat gluten free and carry on with your normal routine as an adult, but it’s entirely different when it’s your…
Greek Veggie Salad Fresh crisp sweet peppers, cucumbers and onions are tossed with Kalamata Olives and creamy feta cheese then dressed with a tangy red wine vinaigrette to create a summertime salad bursting with flavor. The inspiration for my salad came from a surprise party I attended last weekend for a good friend. The hostess…
Chocolate Dipped Butter Cookies An old-time favorite butter cookie dipped in chocolate…deeeelish. Every so often I’ll rummage through my box of old recipes for inspiration. Most often the main dish/side dish/soups and salads recipes are easy to convert to gluten free, but the baking ones require experimentation and patience while changing the flours, fats, leavening…
LASAGNA It’s a chilly April day at our cabin in Northern Minnesota and I’m re-posting my Lasagna recipe as I make it for some good friends tonight. I first posted this recipe in 2010, and as I follow my recipe and Norah sings “come away with me” in the background, I decide it’s worth a…
Jambalaya I’m excited to share this recipe with you today…it’s a constant go-to during the week because it’s so easy and loaded with flavor. Every time we make this recipe we say, “now that’s an entertaining meal!” however we’ve yet to make it for company. I guess because it’s so easy… seems effortless…and it seems…
Vulnerability Last month I read an article on blogging and the importance of being vulnerable in your work/postings. Then I received a thoughtful message from a reader telling me how much she enjoyed reading my posts when I share stories about myself or my family, wondering if I would be sharing more. I’m one who…
Cheesy Potatoes with Crispy Topping I promised to post my Cheesy Potatoes today as I make them every holiday and didn’t realize I hadn’t shared them on Gluten Free Spinner. Easy, cheesy, crispy, yummy, goodness…and it’s a no-fail recipe. This year I made a double batch so I could send leftovers with the kids, there’s…
