Battered Fish Recipe- Egg Free, Gluten Free and Regular
Sorry, this isn’t my picture- its from here, courtesy of vichie81, but it looks exactly like what this recipe yields I love breaded fish and vegetables, as well as battered fish and veggies. The thing is- most breaded fish recipes need an egg, and generally gluten as well, and nearly all batter fried recipes contain gluten […]
Mung Beans and Greens Patties Recipe- Vegan, Gluten Free
I’ve been having fun playing around with my grain grinder, making all sorts of flours that aren’t necessarily so easy to buy in stores. I’ve been making lots of bean flours especially, because I’ve discovered that they’re versatile and great for making flatbreads and batters that hold together, without the need for eggs or xanthan […]
Socca Recipe- Chickpea Flour Flatbread- Gluten Free
Socca is a gluten free, high protein, vegan flatbread type thing that works as a decent starch for means instead of bread. It’s made out of chickpea flour, which you can buy cheapest in Indian stores, where it is called Besan, or you can buy it in health food stores or other places that sell gluten […]
Cactus Paddle Gumbo Recipe
I’m an okra fan and always have been, ever since I was a kid. The thing is, though my mom would make okra lots of times, she almost always would make it cooked in tomato sauce, and she never, ever, ever made the traditional dish made out of okra- gumbo- “because it’s slimy”. I’ve never […]
Dilly Beet and Carrot Salad Recipe
As winter approaches, the price of most vegetables go up; root vegetables, usually harvested in the fall, and with a pretty long shelf life, are some of the few veggies that you can actually find at reasonable prices. This salad uses two root vegetables, making it a perfect accompaniment to fall and winter meals. It’s […]
How to Make Homemade Fermented Soda with a Ginger Bug
I think most kids like soda and other fizzy drinks. Mine do, at least, but we’re an “as unprocessed as possible” home, not to mention pretty frugal home, so soda is something I don’t generally buy. For the past while, kombucha has been our replacement soda. But the thing is, in order to make kombucha, […]
How to Make the Perfect Salad From Just About Anything- Gourmet and Frugal Too!
For much of my childhood, I thought that the definition of salad was iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes, perhaps a few radish slices, and a bottled salad dressing, like French or Italian dressing. I had no clue that 10-15 years later, making up intricate and varied delicious salads would be one of my favorite hobbies. […]
Easy Peasy Roasted Tomato Soup Recipe
Sometimes a recipe is so simple and easy it’s almost embarassing to share. Almost, but not quite. Because sometimes those very easy recipes are extra delicious and become family staples. Like my easy peasy homemade chocolate syrup. Lately tomatoes haven’t been so cheap around here. In fact, none of the vegetables seem to be decently […]
Menu Plan Monday- Family Get Together and Guests
We had our annual family get together yesterday and today, and I’d been cooking up a storm. We’re a large crowd, what with all the children and grand children, so lots of food had to be made. We split the food preparation work, and even so, I spent a LOT of time in the kitchen […]
Apple Crumble Recipe- Gluten Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free Options (And Regular)
One of the hardest things about baking with gluten free flours is that without gluten, these flours are more crumbly than wheat flour. To be able to bake gluten free goodies properly, therefore, usually requires a mix of specific different (and expensive) gluten free flours, or lots of eggs to hold it together. This doesn’t […]
