Southern tradition holds that if you eat Hoppin John on New Year’s Day, you will have good luck and prosperity in the New Year. One legend holds that the blackeyed peas represent coins and that green collards represent cash. Whether you believe in good luck or not, Hoppin John is a comforting dish for a…
How to Make Sushi
Like to order sushi? Well, it’s a little time-consuming, but not hard to make at home. It’s a bit of work so we don’t do it often, but it’s become a fun part of our New Year’s Eve celebration. We like to do finger foods that are something a little special. Pick your favorite…
Yorkshire Pudding – Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Soy-Free!
This is a repost from last year. I know from the swarm at the grocery store this morning that a lot of folks have a standing rib roast for Christmas dinner. And Yorkshire pudding is a classic accompaniment that you don’t have to give up if you eat gluten free. We’ve been enjoying this pairing…
Stuffed Mushrooms – Gluten Free and Paleo
It’s become somewhat of a tradition in our house, to decorate the Christmas tree together, while enjoying “snack dinner”, basically appetizers. This year our spread included hummus stuffed jalapenos, polenta rounds with olive tapenade and salami/prosciutto, and stuffed mushrooms. I requested Christmas music, but the family managed to put me off on that – heard…
Wasabi Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Believe it or not – wasabi and Brussels sprouts are a match made in heaven! The bite of the wasabi really stands up to the assertive flavor of the Brussels sprouts. The wasabi is mellowed a bit by the broiling and the mayo makes for a nice creamy sauce. Add shallots and bacon and you’ve…

The red color makes it a popular Christmas dessert, too. A few substitutions make this red velvet cake gluten and dairy free, and just…
Gluten Free Chicken Piccata
Chicken Piccata is one of my daughter’s favorite dishes. She pretty much loves anything with capers. Put them in a lemony glossy sauce over perfectly tender browned chicken and you’ve got a winning combination! Sweet rice flour helps brown the gluten free chicken piccata and thickens the sauce. Usually chicken piccata contains gluten and dairy:…
Spaghetti Squash with Apple and Sausage
I was looking for a meatless or low meat meal and it dawned on me that the flavors in my Thanksgiving stuffing would be great with spaghetti squash, too. Indeed, they were! Accented with apple, celery, onion and garlic and just two low fat sausages for 4 servings, this dish is as healthy as it…
Grilled Peaches with Peach Balsamic Vinaigrette
We’re getting to the end of peach season, so get those juicy summer-only treats while the getting’s good! Grilling accentuates that wonderful peachy flavor, and elevates what on it’s own is a fresh wholesome snack to a complex sweet-savory side dish or vegetarian entree. Grilled peaches are easy, pretty and delicious! Peaches are so easy…
Patty Pan Squash 2 Ways
Patty pan squash is my favorite of the summer squashes. It has a firmer texture than yellow squash or zucchini, and develops a wonderful sweet, slightly nutty flavor when grilled or roasted. You won’t often see it in grocery stores, but it’s worth seeking out at farmers’ markets or from local produce delivery services. Patty…
