Amanda’s Cheddar Beer Soup Recipe- With Gluten Free Options
I mentioned the other day that my friend Amanda passed away. One of the things she was known for was sharing her love of good food with people, as well as delicious memories. A dish she talked about regularly was her cheddar beer soup that she made for special occasions. I never had a chance […]
Korean Style Spiced Fried Tofu
I found a new favorite fish recipe that was quite delectable, and restaurant worthy when I was making an Asian feast for myself. It also was relatively frugal to make and not too much work to prepare. I wanted to make it for my family for supper but I have a son who doesn’t eat […]
Korean Style Steamed Zucchini Side Dish Recipe — Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegan, and Easy
I’m tired and exhausted but told myself I’d get a post done today, so this is a quick one before I go to sleep. This recipe is based off one from Maangchi’s site for an eggplant based side dish but I didn’t have any eggplant at home. What I did have was lots of zucchini and […]
Easy Roasted Asian Style Brussels Sprouts Recipe — Paleo, Vegan, Gluten Free, and Delicious
I have an embarassing confession. When I read recipes, I usually just read the ingredient list and don’t look at the instructions, and then I start cooking the food and sometimes realized that I completely flubbed the instructions. Oh well. Usually it works out ok anyhow, and this was one of them, but other times […]

Low Carb Vegan Cheese Sauce Recipe – Nightshade Free, Paleo, Allergy Friendly
Recently my friend Elaine reached out to me asking for my vegan cheese sauce recipe, but then wanted to know if I had a way to do it without nightshades since her husband doesn’t eat them. I thought for a bit and then gave her a suggestion, but then thought about tweaking my recipe even […]
Sweet and Sticky Tofu Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, Easy, and Delicious
My kids aren’t the hugest fans of tofu. Plain, that is. They refer to it as a white sponge. But if it’s prepared with lots of flavor, as in this recipe, they definitely appreciate it. I made this tofu recipe based on my sweet and sticky green beans recipe and used it for poke bowls and […]
Easy Sesame Carrot Salad Recipe – Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo, Allergy Friendly and Frugal
I almost feel like this is too simple and silly to be a recipe, but it’s yummy and good, and so what if it’s ridiculously easy? I made this side dish kind of accidentally, because I was making poke bowls (another post on that soon) and wanted to put grated carrots in it, but didn’t […]
Sweet and Sticky Garlicky Green Beans Recipe — Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegan
I love green beans. I generally make them very simply because they are good any way you make them, and why not just do something easy. But recently I decided that I wanted sweet and sticky green beans even though I’d never had them before. I knew though it would be delicious and was craving […]
