  1. Just got back from our wonderful trip. The food was amazing as always. Tonight I am having a big ol' helping of chili I made a few days ago. The cornbread I made will go very well with it - it contains corn, ham, scallions... So will the roasted cumin and lime sweet potato fries.
  2. Our final clean-out-the-fridge meal before we leave for Paris tomorrow!! So, we had a conglomeration of things including: - green rice (rice infused with herbed roasted poblanos) - celeriac braised in white wine with shallots - grilled wild boar sausage - steamed broccoli - zebra tomatoes from the garden Seems like a green theme going on... Have...
  3. Where I live: 4L or 1 gallon of milk is $4.89; my lactose-free milk is $4.99 for 2L or half a gallon boneless, skinless chicken breast $5.99/lb, sometimes up to $6.99/lb bone-in chicken thighs $4.99/lb unsalted butter $6.97 454g or 1 lb Where we buy is much more expensive as we buy from a local organic farm (including our beef, lamb, duck...
  4. I've been to Italy many times and three times since my diagnosis 1.5 years ago. It is known to be one of the easiest countries in which to travel with celiac. I'm getting ready for a trip to Paris and then Croatia myself so unfortunately have no time to give you specific resto recs. To me the tricky part of travel is the airports and flights because of...
  5. Caprese Salad Shaved asparagus with shaved Parmesan, toasted pine nuts, crumbled goat cheese and shallot vinaigrette Roasted baby potato salad with crispy capers and caramelized onion Endive, roasted pear and gorgonzola with a grapefruit vinaigrette Roasted figs, goat cheese, toasted walnuts and honey vinaigrette with prosciutto and melons Spinach salad...
  6. Getting ready to go on a month-long vacation to Europe so are cleaning out the fridge. We are simply having a bacon and potato cake or truffade (many layers of very thinly-sliced potatoes and bacon pressed into a cake). And raw cucumber from a friend's garden.
  7. Adalaide, good for you! I love that you are not allowing this to control you. I refuse to as well. Chronic pain used to rule my life. Now it does not. Sure, pain is a killer each and every single day but you are so right - attitude makes all the difference. Once you get into that mindset, it develops into habit and before you know it you are living...
  8. Rice Flour Gnocchi with Roasted Garlic, White Wine and Shallot Sauce
  9. Not just every American but every Canadian as well! I used to work for an organic certifying agency (and loved it and learned a LOT) so am very aware of the dreadful GMOs. However, this video held a sense of urgency and renewed my disgust in what we unquestioningly accept. It was also helpful to see the latest 2012 information. This video really could...
  10. I have no experience with them BUT I highly recommend buying whole nutmeg and grating it yourself. It tastes so much nicer - there is no comparison. And it is very inexpensive. I get mine at a natural foods store. And there is no question that it is gluten free!
  11. Finger foods: Buffalo Chicken Wings Barbecue Seasoning Rubbed Potato Wedges (think ancho chile, brown sugar, salt, garlic, onion, etc.) Baja Slaw (not exactly a finger food...)
  12. Big Salad with my garden greens, spinach, toasted almonds, toasted pumpkin seeds, dried cherries, red onion, mushrooms, cucumber and a Dijon white balsamic vinaigrette.
  13. Black Pepper Shrimp with Black Bean Ginger Sauce Wide Mung Bean Noodles (slippery suckers!) Fresh blackberries
  14. The procedures themselves are easy peasy. You are given a memory-erasing drug so it is as though you are knocked out the entire time. The colonoscopy prep isn't the most fun thing in the world (you drink a lot of liquid in a certain timeframe that causes serious diarrhea) but it is really not that bad. I had zero pain before, during or after both procedures...
  15. Sora, I do not use a recipe but this is what I do: Drain the ricotta very well. Add some lemon zest and freshly-grated nutmeg. Nutmeg is very inexpensive and a few go a long way. Add some grated Parmesan (NOT the fake stuff!). Season with salt and pepper. Sometimes I add an egg, other times I do not. If you want it very creamy, just put in your food...
  16. I had to double check myself!
  17. Tonight we are having leftover jambalaya from last night which was FANTASTIC. Sure, there are over 30 ingredients in the recipe but that is how I love it. The more ingredients and the more techniques involved the better. Anyway, we will be having braised celeriac as well.
  18. I did not realize that. Sorry for harping on and on about the brands that I have!
  19. I'm not making them dairy free - that would be very, very tricky. Actually, nearly impossible. I'm making them for my husband - his birthday dessert pick. If I take Lactaid I may be able to have a few spoons of it, too, but we'll see.
  20. Jambalaya (andouille, chicken and shrimp) Sauteed Spinach with Tahini Dressing Chocolate Pots de Creme
  21. It is a language - there are a few "letters" that look like the brand that are separate; the other letters are formed into a sentence that I cannot decipher. But it states that it simply contains palm sugar so I would think whatever the brand is (!!) would be safe. Same with the Cock brand which I mentioned above, if you can locate it.
  22. Same meat as yesterday (spice-rubbed pork tenderloin with sweet and spicy red pepper glaze) Hasselback Potatoes with Bay Leaves and Garlic Bacon, Pearl Onion and Chestnut Sautee with Chestnut Honey Glaze (they become like candy!)
  23. Spice-Rubbed Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Sweet Spicy Pepper Glaze Creamy Polenta Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Smoked Ham and Roasted Almonds in a Butter Sauce
  24. Sorry this has taken so long. It's been a busy few weeks! This is the delicious pasta recipe I use... Open Original Shared Link What kind of cheese filling? Ricotta?
  25. Tomato and Barlotti Bean Ragout on Creamy Polenta Roasted Swiss Chard
