When looking for a new gluten-free recipe, I stumbled across this one for Goat Cheese and Arugula Ravioli on the Whole Foods website, I knew this was a must. Not only is goat cheese one of my favorite cheeses, I love ravioli (the gluten free kind of course).

Here is a recipe that was modified from the More Than Gourmet website. More Than Gourmet has a line of amazing demi-glaces that can be used to make stocks and sauces. Thier entire line is gluten-free,except for the wine sauces and the veal demi-glaces.
Do you ever put certain foods together that other people would cringe at? I used to have all kind of interesting combos when I was a kid: my Grandmas meat loaf, mashed potatoes, gravy & peas all mixed up and chili and mashed potatoes topped with cheese are just a couple that stand out in my head. My sister still eats one of her childhood favorite combinations – Doritos and applesauce. I don’t think I have ever tried that, or not that I recall. I may have blocked it out. LOL!

I had run out of my Food for Life English Muffins and Trader Joe’s French Rolls. Clearly I was slacking in the gluten-free grocery department or eating too many carbs – maybe a little of both.

This turned out even better than I thought it would! I would absolutely (more…)
I tend to over think blogging so my intent is to be short and sweet (good luck to me). Many years ago, I had a recipe for Lemon Almond Cookies. I had copied it from a magazine (specifically from Gourmet, Feb 1990) and kept it all of these years. It is hand written on a recipe card; I added my own interpretation and instructions. At Christmas, I always made these delicious, sweet and crisp cookies.
I’m not sure of the last time I made them but in recent years, with a gluten-free diet, I haven’t even attempted them. This year, I just couldn’t take it and decided to (more…)
