Easy Chicken Tangsuyuk Pancake – Korean Sweet and Sour Crispy Chicken Recipe

I love Korean food. It is probably my favorite cuisine, other than possibly Tex Mex or Middle Eastern. Or Chinese. I even used to make Korean food and sell it as takeout, a couple of years ago when my body hurt less. Who doesn’t like sweet and sour chicken? Periodically I crave crispy, deep-fried chicken […]

Creamy Lemon Fennel Pasta with Edamame (Gluten-Free & Vegan Options)

The credit for this recipe goes entirely to my friend, Samantha, even though she never made it, nor did she give me the recipe. A little while back Samantha ate at a restaurant near her, and she was so delighted by the dish she ordered, that she wrote about it and its flavors in depth. […]

Allergy Friendly, Vegan Ceasar Salad and Dressing Recipe

I didn’t have Ceasar salad often growing up, but it is something I enjoy eating. Did you know where it originated? It has nothing to do with the Roman Caesars.

Turkey Cranberry Rolada with Citrus Glaze — Gluten Free, Allergy Friendly

  I get hungry every autumn when I see pictures of my friends’ Thanksgiving dinners, and it whets my appetite for the fall dishes typically served at these meals. But since I don’t live in the U.S., we don’t have Thanksgiving off, so making a full dinner on the same day that everyone else is […]

Easy Blueberry Muffins Recipe — Gluten Free, Vegan, and Allergy Friendly Variations

Muffins made with gluten and eggs The other day, out of the blue, I got inspired to make blueberry muffins. It’s not something I have made before, at least not for many years. So I asked my facebook friends for suggestions for delicious blueberry muffins without any weird ingredients and my friend Samantha sent me […]

Better-for-You Mac and Cheese Recipe: As Simple as the Boxed Version And Cheaper

I have a confession. A confession that previous me might have been horrified to hear. And maybe some of you too will judge me for it. But I don’t. My kids love boxed mac and cheese. I’ve made them “real macaroni and cheese” so many times but 2 of my kids vastly prefer the boxed […]

Lemony Herb Roasted Fennel Recipe — Gluten Free, Allergy Friendly, and Easy

Fennel is one of my favorite vegetables. It makes me happy when winter comes around and the price of fennel drops to only 25-40 cents a pound, so I can buy a lot of it and make so many different types of dishes with it. I looked through my archive and I have so many […]

Mediterranean Green Bean Salad Recipe — Gluten Free, Allergy Friendly, and Easy

I was in the grocery store the other day, after coming back from my trip to Georgia, where we had a more limited diet (because I’m only going to be buying a few different spices and seasonings for cooking when traveling), and I was trying to come up with terrific menu ideas that would satisfy […]
