This Curry Carrot and Lentil Soup recipe is probably the recipe I share the most with my friends. You know, the recipe you have memorized because it’s so simple and the one you make all the time because most of your family really likes it? This one. I have scribbled this on more index cards and typed it out in more text messages than I can count. I have a similar recipe on the blog, but I wrote it many years ago when I lived in Thailand and the ingredients I was able to get there are not quite the same as the ones I find in North American grocery…

Gluten Free & Vegan Crispy Date Balls – Dairy Free, Egg Free
Date balls are a Christmas tradition from the era when people did Christmas visiting. At the beginning of the season, all the moms and grandmothers would make up a billion different squares and cookies and put them in the fridge or freezer to be served to company. Then they would all rotate through the different houses of their friends and family, and the lady of the house would pull out a big tray of all these different desserts. The date balls are one of my very favorites. They’re also one of the fastest and easiest to make. For years I made the traditional recipe, which calls for an egg, but…

Gluten Free, Vegan, Chocolate Cake – Dairy Free, Egg Free
Hey friends!! I think you will really like this one. It’s simple, fairly inexpensive, and totally impressive. A gluten free, vegan, chocolate cake that actually tastes like a cake. It’s moist, and flavorful, and chocolatey, and cakey. There are no eggs, butter, or milk in it. And you can not tell. The regular version of this recipe is often called Depression Chocolate Cake. It was originally created for a world going through the Great Depression where staples like eggs, butter, and milk were scarce. It’s surprisingly amazing. Our fore-mothers were obvious geniuses in the kitchen. This version uses any cup-for-cup type gluten free flour for the same surprising amazingness. I’ve…

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Strawberry Smoothie
I crave sugar. If you were to hear that out loud it would be “I crrrraaaaaavvvvvvvvveeee sugar”. But I’m trying to cut back. Way back. Or at least eat only natural sugars in very reduced amounts. I’m eating apples instead of ice cream. I’ve replaced some of the sweeter fruits and vegetables like carrots in my fresh juice with more neutral choices like cucumbers.

Gluten Free Bread Alternative – Gluten Free Tortillas with Potato Starch
It’s amazing to me how many gluten free recipes you can find if you’re willing to step outside your culture. Koreans have mung bean pancakes, Mexicans have corn tortillas, Indians have lentil dosas, and I’ve discovered a new treasure trove of gluten free. Jewish Passover Recipes!! I haven’t really looked into it, but apparently Jewish people don’t eat wheat during Passover. So cool. They’ve been not eating wheat for so long, that they’ve come up with some amazing gluten free substitutions for bread. And since I’m on a quest for gluten free bread this week, I’ve borrowed from this Ancient culture. I love this recipe, I’m calling it a tortilla, because…

Gluten Free Poached Salmon
Every time I go to the grocery store, I get asked about my food. Partly because I live in a smaller town in the South and people just talk to you in the grocery store. Kinda nice. And partly because I buy food that most people here just don’t buy. Or I buy it in weird massive quantities. We juice, so we buy huge amounts of vegetables. We always get comments on this. And because I’m gluten free, we buy all that weird Bob’s Red Mill stuff. More comments. But I don’t just get comments. I get questions. People want to know how I’m going to cook things. I’m often…
