This buttery crust will make even the "wheaties" fight over the last piece of pie, I promise. Baby, is it ever good.Credit where credit is due: this is my dear mama's recipe. She's toiled many long hours in the kitchen, and has cleverly disguising more than one gluten-free pie crust disaster -- but now, disasters no longer. This recipe was photo-copied out of an unknown cookbook and altered a bit

Okay, I'll admit it. I didn't use real garlic. (I can almost hear the muffled gasps of horror.)In my own defense, at least I didn't use the chalky supermarket powder. Instead, coarsely ground garlic -- in a cellophane package from the Mexican foods section-- actually hints at the real thing.But now put the soup on, dearest, and gather 'round the table for an early winter supper.1 cup white rice

It's never to early to start thinking about Christmas baking! ;-) I made this recipe last year for the holidays -- and after I put them out on the cookie tray and watched how people started gobbling them down, I immediately went back into the kitchen and wrote down the ingredients.I credit my inspiration for these to an old church cookbook from the little town in which my grandma and dad grew up.

"The ingredients in the [McDonald’s] flyer suggest a lot of thought goes into a nugget, that and a lot of corn. Of the thirty-eight ingredients it takes to make a McNugget, I counted thirteen that can be derived from corn: the corn-fed chicken itself; modified cornstarch (to bind the pulverized chicken meat); mono-, tri-, and diglycerides (emulsifiers, which keep the fats and water from

How on earth did I miss sharing our favorite rice waffles with you all? I can scarcely forgive myself.In my defense -- these fabulous waffles have been a family staple for about ten years now, so, we'll just say it was their ubiqutious presence which caused me to forget them. Although, 'forget' is a bit harsh, don't you think? 'Overlooked', perhaps; 'taken for granted', often. But, groveling

Today, with an armful of groceries and an heart full of ambition, I set out to prepare at least four meals -- all to be tucked away into the freezer as a surprise for my dear, hardworking mother who is away for the weekend.And this colorful chicken stir-fry, gentle readers, was the first of the day’s rewards.1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, grated4 carrots, peeled and shredded/grated1 pound broccoli,

This morning, sheets of fog rolled in across the dreary Midwestern flats and sedately wrapped themselves around fading ferns and tall, pale trees. The mercury dipped lower than it has yet this season, and, I, not yet ready to let the summer go, sighed in resignation to autumn's persistent knocking.Inside, steam rose sleepily from a damp white-tea-bag, and I settled into the corner of the green

I love a steaming bowl of Cream of Rice® for breakfast, but I definitely don't love how overpriced it is. Isn't it just ground-up bits of quick-cooking rice, enhanced by nothing more than a Kraft logo and an inflated price tag? I asked mom if I could grind up regular grains of rice in her beautiful sleek Cadillac of blender, but she figured I'd probably dull the blades quite brutally. . .. . .

In the house where I grew up, delicious from-scratch ethnic foods were the mainstay -- and most definitely still are. We are the family who still needs directions and instructions in order to make canned soup or mac n cheese or rice krispy bars, simply because such "American" food rarely, if ever enters our pantry.Without a doubt, our household's diet is an oddly eclectic mix. For lack of a

Traditional baking powder contains corn starch, which is why I don't use it in my baked goods. Many of you have searched for a source of corn-free baking powder -- and now, hereit is.1 part cream of tartar1 part baking soda1 part arrowroot powderYou can make any size batch you wish, as long as you use equal amounts of each ingredient.

I wanted to make a wheat-free dessert this weekend, but after flipping through my recipe files and giving the baking supplies lazy-susan a quick spin, I realized we were out of tapioca starch. So I decided to try something different, and after modifying a basic rice-flour cookie recipe, these wonderful chocolate chip cookies emerged. 1 cup brown rice flour2 1/2 T. butter, room temperature1

The past month has been a whirlwind of final exams and packing and spring cleaning and the closing of yet another life-chapter. While the flurry of activity seriously cut back on my updates here, it didn’t make much of a dent in the cooking department. After all, when you’re avoiding corn, relying on store-bought convenience foods isn’t really much of an option!Yesterday I cooked up some plain

Who says a college student has to eat cold food out of cans? [Not to mention that a corn allergy makes it almost impossible to eat any pre-made, prepared food] But with just a little creativity, scraps and tidbits from the pantry and freezer can be combined to create a beautiful dish. Purists might cringe at considering this ‘pea soup’ . . . but I consider it an improvement over the alternative -
