Weekend Kitchen Tip – Ginger
There’s nothing like fresh ginger in your recipes. Do you often buy fresh ginger for a recipe, only use a little and toss it back into the refrigerator until the next time you need it? A month goes by and you think of another recipe to use that fresh ginger for and it’s now moldy. [...]

Triumph Dining Gluten Free Guide Books and Dining Cards
When I first found out I needed to live gluten free, I purchased a few books including the Triumph Dining Gluten Free Restaurant Guide book with Dining Cards. It was a life saver. The book is currently in the 4th Edition printing with 5000 restaurants listed. That’s a lot of choices. When I travel, I [...]
Jerk Chicken Wings with Red Beans and Rice and a Side of Fried Plantains
Wow, that’s a mouthful! I didn’t even add in the Dipped in Picka-peppa Sauce. We recently had friends over for dinner where I served this Jamaican Jerk Feast. We were so hungry I almost forgot to take a photo. I had filled my plate and had already dipped some wings into the Pica-peppa sauce. I [...]
North African Meatballs and Glazed Carrots with The Next Food Network Star
I love to watch The Next Food Network Star each year. Each week the contestants are given different challenges to test their skills and their culinary point of view. This year on Season 5, I picked my winner early. I really liked Melissa d’Arabian. She was fun, spunky, and didn’t cook in a restaurant. Her [...]

Friday Foodie Fix – Corn
This week’s Secret Ingredient for Friday Foodie Fix is Corn. Sweet summer corn. Maize. Did you know that corn is the number one crop in America? Unfortunately a lot of that is GMO (genetically modified organism) which just is not healthy but that’s a whole other blog post. I would suggest you ask your farmer [...]
Hand Cut Oven Fries
What goes better with a huge hamburger stack but hand cut oven fries? My family loved these fries more than the burger stack with spicy mustard. I only wish I had made more. Next time I’ll know better. I used the potatoes I had received in my CSA. They were Kennebec potatoes. I’ve not heard [...]
Spicy Mustard on a Gluten Free Hamburger Stack
This spicy mustard is great on just about anything. I made it for our hamburgers stack but you can keep it vegetarian or vegan. I’ve also eaten it on hot dogs, ham sandwiches, polenta, grilled chicken, fish fillet and a crab cake. I’m sure there are another dozen foods you can come up with too. [...]
