An aromatic, hearty soup for a cold spring day. A gluten-free version of mushroom barley soup, made with carrots and leeks and garnished with flavorful lovage. I used homemade beef stock but chicken stock or vegetable or mushroom broth would work also. This was a delicious antidote for the snappish weather during a break from [...]

Brown Rice with Chard Stems and Preserved Lemon
Posted in Gluten-free, Grains, Greens, tagged Gluten-free, Grains, Greens, Preserved lemons on April 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The chard that I’m able to get at this time of year has wide stems that I can sometimes cook and serve with the leaves but occasionally reserve for another day. Here I braised the stems in some lovely chicken broth just made from a roasted bird, then used the remainder of the broth as [...]

Continuing to eat out of the pantry before the spring growing season, I roasted the remaining cheese pumpkin from the late fall harvest, which had kept surprisingly well, and combined it with a home-canned tomato soup base that was stretching its viable shelf life. Our local CSA farm grows several heirloom varieties for canning, with [...]
Risotto with Escarole

Escarole is one of the more reliably good winter greens around here and, when I find a head with clear, soft leaves, I use it as the basis for a green salad. A member of the endive family, escarole has a hearty texture and flavor, which makes it excellent for braising. It is the basis [...]
Gluten-free Dairy-free Cornbread Stuffing for a Turkey

The first year that we decided to be gluten-free and dairy-free for Thanksgiving, I gave up my longstanding tradition of making bread stuffing for the turkey and moved over to a more Southern approach based on cornbread. I had been researching gluten-free baking, so I knew cornbread would be a good option. I used the [...]
Something for Everyone: Thank Goodness, Thanksgiving

We’ve always come together as a family around the table. Dinners whenever more than one is home, breakfasts on Sundays mostly, lunches on holidays or weekends when we find ourselves in the same place. We’ve shared our lives over many a meal, the meal being a means to bring us together as individuals and as [...]
Gluten-free Dairy-free Pumpkin Pie, so who said it had to be pretty too
Posted in Gluten-free, Gluten-free dairy-free, Pie, Pumpkin, tagged Gluten-free, Pie, Pumpkin on November 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Figuring out how to make a pumpkin pie dairy-free is not hard, given the possibility of using soymilk or unsweetened coconut milk as a substitute for cream or half-and-half. Figuring out a compatible crust is harder. The piecrust that I made last Thanksgiving emulated a whole-wheat crust but was crumbly to the point where I [...]
