The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn’t waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it. — Mario Batali

12 Cool Things To Do with a Roast Chicken
by K.C. Pomering, Posted May 20th, 2013 at 5:33 am
So, I’ve taught Roast Chicken in my cooking classes several times, and I always suggest making two (it’s just as easy as one!) and using the leftovers for a new recipe the next day. Then I get stares. And somebody says: “Enchiladas?” Yes, enchiladas. But other stuff...

Deep Breaths

I believe in hot and sweaty summer nights and crickets and sundresses and warm breezes I believe in the under dog. They are usually almost always absolutely my favorite I believe music makes little teeny tiny band aids that find the hurt and make it a little better I believe good things come...

Bacon: Delicious, But Nutritious?
by Gluten Free Advocates + Experts, Posted May 15th, 2013 at 8:34 pm
Mmmmmm, bacon. It is perhaps the perfect food. Salty, savory, fatty, sweet, and spicy (if it’s peppered), it hits just about every note on your palette with perfect pitch and flawless delivery. It’s no wonder America is absolutely downright head-over-heels obsessed with it… and that’s...

Goat Butter Shortbread
by Gluten Free Advocates + Experts, Posted May 10th, 2013 at 8:25 pm
The choice between sweet or salty, for me, is an easy one. I choose salt every time. Call me crazy, but I’d rather have more dinner for dessert, than dessert. So when I first tasted savory shortbread, made from a Barefoot Contessa recipe before I had gone gluten-free, I was instantly deeply,...

Snack it to me: Raisinably Delicious Snack Mix
by Gluten Free Advocates + Experts, Posted May 10th, 2013 at 8:15 pm
Raisins are a point of contention in my family. Well, between me and my sister they are. She, so very wrongly, believes that raisins have no place in anything. Not oatmeal cookies. Not Irish soda bread. I think she might be an alien. Or at the very least adopted. There is no way such a raisin...

New Hope for Diabetics?
by Gluten Free Advocates + Experts, Posted May 10th, 2013 at 8:09 pm
To say diabetes is a major problem in today’s society would be the ultimate understatement. Diabetes is everywhere you look and almost everyone is either affected personally by it or knows someone who is. Type 1 diabetes, the condition in which the pancreas does not produce insulin, has been...

Rainbow carrots are lovely, aren’t they? Lovely in the way that you really don’t need to do much to make them look and taste really spectacular and special–because they already are. Lovely in the way that somehow, just by flashing a fancy color, an ordinary root vegetable is transformed...

10 Questions with KC: Kyle Kennington of Lanna Coffee

So, I first heard about Lanna Coffee from Annalaura, (I call her AL) the member of the G-Free Foodie team in charge of keeping us on track (small girl, big task!) I tasted their French Roast coffee at the Fresno Food Expo and was impressed (I’m picky about coffee) but when I chatted with...

Radish & Cucumber Salsa
by Gluten Free Advocates + Experts, Posted May 1st, 2013 at 8:37 pm
It’s no secret that I love Mexican food. And by love, I really mean that I’m completely obsessed with it. I could eat it three meals a day–and frequently I do. There is something so magical about the way fresh and rich flavors meld together, often spiked with searing heat. Salsa, which...

Getting to Know Gluten
by Gluten Free Advocates + Experts, Posted May 1st, 2013 at 8:21 pm
It is something that an increasing number of Americans are avoiding like the plague. Relatively speaking, it has just burst onto the nutrition and health scene, transcending its nerdy nutrition textbook roots to become part of the American lexicon. Now almost everyone knows what it is, and...

Yes, it is. Clearly, it’s been muffin week at my house. Which I highly recommend, btw. And the best way to end this muffin-o-rama is with this beaut. It’s a gluten-free basil corn muffin, then you stuff it with goat cheese. STUFF IT WITH GOAT CHEESE. And here I was just using butter this...

Tempeh: G-Free and Meat-Free
by Gluten Free Advocates + Experts, Posted April 24th, 2013 at 8:27 pm
Meat is a wonderful thing. Ask any traditional omnivorous human being his or her opinion on meat, and chances are that they will tell you they can’t live without it. In a sense they’re right, we are all here in part because our ancestors had access to meat. Our very dental structure indicates...

Review: Bakery on Main Instant Oatmeal
by Gluten Free Advocates + Experts, Posted April 22nd, 2013 at 10:02 pm
It’s been a long time since I’ve reviewed Bakery on Main and their flavored instant oatmeal. Their strawberry, oatmeal, and maple flavors were just too sweet for my taste for breakfast – I like a little more subdued taste. But, I did dig the gluten-free grains that they included – including...

Snack it to me: Cherry Cordial Snack Mix

Chocolate should be a food group. And, in my professional opinion, it should be the base of the pyramid. I mean, it is full of anti-oxidants and theobromine. It has been purported to do everything from boost your mood to decrease your appetite. Small studies have found that it is good for...

Oh yes. These beauties made an appearance in my home this weekend, and I’m trying to figure out a way to justify making these on a regular basis. Homemade gluten-free corn dogs, you guys. CORN DOGS. Now, I just have to find out where I can buy those rectangular cheese bars so I can fry those...

Elimination Diet: Right For You?
by Gluten Free Advocates + Experts, Posted April 12th, 2013 at 8:18 pm
The word “diet” is intimidating enough without adding the word “elimination” to it. Talk about adding insult to injury, salting the wound, kicking a man while he’s down, or whatever other metaphor you find to be the most appropriate. But have no fear (or at least, less fear), because...
