My daughter loved this fresh baked Garlic Focaccia Bread with Thyme. It flew off the counter. Every time I turned around I saw another slice walking by in her little hands, of course like many kids her age she picked off the “green stuff”… I guess no thyme next time. I baked for her a [...]
Now that I’ve got your attention :smirks sinisterly:, get the thoughts of Frankenstein & the Omen out of your head. While My experiments in the kitchen this week would actually not qualify as unholy, they are surely deserving of the unorthodox label. There is nothing like an overabundance of an ingredient, to make me take [...]
October is coming to a close, but if you didn’t know, it is National Pizza month & there is still time to get experimental in your pizza making. I decided to push the envelope myself a bit and create a Thai Shrimp Pizza. The images don’t really do it justice, but I promise peanut sauce [...]
Broccoli rabe is one of those acquired tastes. The first couple times I had rabe, I was baffled as to why people chowed down on this bitter green. I found myself having it again though… and again. Now I crave the stuff, not all the time but at least a few times a year. Yes, [...]
Flatbread pizzas using handy FlatOut Thin Crust Flatbreads are an easy an economical way to serve a fun menu to guests. They are brand new to the market, and have only been out since September 24th (a Walmart exclusive). I like making all kinds of pizza, and am not shy about experimenting in the kitchen [...]
Tomorrow is Lil’ Foodie’s first full day of kindergarten. She always ate snack at preschool, but having lunch at school is new for both she and I. The thing is, my daughter is a somewhat picky eater already due to her sensory issues, so with the added constraints of a gluten & dairy free diet, [...]
After several months of preparation, I finally fully transitioned my daughter into a gluten and dairy free diet (GFCF) , to see if it helps her with her autism symptoms. This is the best version of gluten-free pizza dough that I have come up with so far. It is loosely based on one from Gluten-Free [...]
This Gluten Free Pizza Crust is made out of oatmeal. Yup, basic oatmeal with yeast and a few other household ingredients. No special equipment or ingredients from the specialty food section. It is pretty quick to make as well. If the pizza above looks a tad bit boring to you, thank my daughter for that, [...]
I have been experimenting with a lot of different whole grains and gluten-free cooking lately. Since getting a Wondermill grainmill to participate in their Grain Mill Wagon Challenge, I have also been dabbling in grinding these different grains up. The thing is with a Wondermill you can grind up legumes as well as grain. [...]
Spring starts today, and here in New England it has been especially warm. The rising of temperatures makes to idea of keeping my oven on any longer than necessary, not so enticing as it is in colder months. It also makes me think of fresh herbs and vegetables, which of course go better with fresh [...]
