Homemade Healthy Grain Free Tortilla Chips Recipe
Do you like chips? I know I do… but when I see them being sold in the store, either fried in an unhealthy oil, or made out of ingredients I know are unhealthy or that I am sensitive to, I have second thoughts about buying them, not to mention the expense. I also use these […]
Gluten Free Grain Free Crepes Recipe
Grain free crepes with mashed potato filling and mushroom sauce I like crepes. They can be used to make a variety of dishes, both sweet and savory, both fancy and less so. And they are pretty frugal too. You can make sweet crepes filled with chocolate, whipped cream, caramel, and/or fruit, or you can fill […]

Gluten Free Stuffed Chicken Breast
When making food for a crowd, you want to keep your costs as low as possible, but when you have a special event that you’re cooking for, you can’t necessarily serve beans and rice, and you don’t want the foods you’re making to look skimpy and cheapo… That’s why, when I want to make large […]
Homemade Orange “Duck Sauce” Recipe

Homemade Shichimi Togarashi- Japanese Seven Spice Powder Recipe
Until pretty recently, I only knew of three types Japanese foods- miso soup, sushi, and beef negimaki. But, on my quest to figure out something different with all my fennel/anise that I bought cheaply, in season, I discovered Japanese 7 Spice Powder-Shichimi Togarashi- such a unique and different mix of flavors that I never, in […]
Mu Sangchae- Korean Turnip or Radish Salad Recipe
Remember how I posted my recipe for hash browns made with turnips, perfect for times like now when turnips are one of the few cheap veggies I could get? I mentioned then that I’m not in love with the taste of turnips but wanted to use them anyhow because they’re cheap, so I was looking […]
Okonomiyaki- Japanese Cabbage Pancakes (Vegetarian, Gluten Free)
I think I was well into my teenaged years before I realized that there was actually a difference between Japanese and Chinese food. I partially blame restaurants, though, because often Szechuan beef is served side by side with sushi; they often make no differentiation between Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cuisine. In fact, much of what is sold […]
Too Many Tomatoes? Opportunity Knocks…
I got some really strange looks at the grocery store on Tuesday. And when I say strange looks, I mean strange, you know, the kind that makes people’s eyes bug out of their sockets, and their mouths drop open. I kind of understand the reason I got all those looks; after all, I was piling […]
