This holiday season I spent the time with husband's family in the Midwest - Milwaukee to be exact.  This has got to be one of the most #glutenfree friendly cities around!  From high end restaurants like Roots to the Bradley Center's gluten-free kiosk, to an abundance of GF options at local grocery stores like Metcalfe's Sentry, Pick-N-Save and Outpost, I had no troubles finding good gluten-free

If you are looking for an easy way to make Gluten free sugar cookies for the holidays, check out Gluten Free Essentials Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix.  I found this at The Gluten Free Trading Company in Milwaukee, WI - where my in-laws live - a few years back and I look forward to making these cookies every year! All you need to make this mix is a stick of butter and 2 eggs.  The trick to doing

I had an idea to make something with chicken drumsticks and thighs, and came across a braised chicken recipe in the Healthy Family Cookbook, that I modified for gluten-free.  It came out amazing...thanks to a bit of help from some Greek wine (from my honeymoon) and a little help from my husband! You can cook this in a Dutch oven which makes cooking and clean up easy since it's all in one pot.

I know it's a bit late to post this but I think I just got out of my food coma that ensued after the amazing gluten free Thanksgiving I had with my husband! Our menu included Brined Turkey using the kit from Bed Bath & Beyond, Mashed Potato Casserole, Aleia's GF Stuffing (savory), Pumpkin Pie with GF crust from Jillian's, Sauteed Green Beans and Honey Glazed Carrots with Almonds.  We also made

This may be one of my favorite weeks of the year - and my husband's favorite holiday, where cook together, go to the parade on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and watch football (Go Green Bay!)  I am so thankful to have a great partner in life who will do a 100% Gluten Free Thanksgiving for me, including gluten-free stuffing, mashed potato casserole, and pumpkin pie in a gluten-free crust.  I

I'm lucky to live in NYC where they have amazing gluten-free options for pizza, including Mozzarelli's (with great cookies too!), Pie by the Pound (just had a great meetup there!) and even random places like Pizza Bash (near my office in Union Square).  Side note on this place - we were working late setting up for an event in our office and someone mentioned they ordered pizza.  Which normally

On a recent work trip to Atlanta, my team and I went out to lunch at Yeah! Burger, and I have to say it should be named OH YEAH! Burger because it was just so great to feel "normal" at a Burger joint.  The burger comes however you want it and on Gluten free bread - pretty good too as it wasn't too flaky or rubbery.  And you can get a ton of delicious fried foods - normally off limits to us -

Each year after Cinco de Mayo, as the weather warms up in NYC, I love to eat guacamole and chips.  Last night I had some friends over for dinner and we made homemade guacamole, which came out delicious! This simple recipe can be modified to you own tastes, by adding beans, or cumin, or more jalapeños - it's all up to you.  Best part..it's naturally Gluten-free! Ingredients: 2 small avocados or

On a recent trip to see my family, my sister-in-law and I made this cheesecake recipe, using Kinnikinnick gluten-free graham crackers for the crust. I had never really seen GF graham crackers before so I was really excited to try this.  They actually tasted great and really held up as a crust!!  I'd definitely recommend using this for other pie crusts. After making the two layers listed

My honeymoon in Greece was so amazing and the food was just spectacular!  Best part...most of the food was Gluten-Free!!  A recently bought a Greece cookbook to learn how to make these amazing dishes at home.  My first attempt...stuffed peppers and tomatoes.  The recipe below serves 6, so feel free to adjust for less people. I found dry roasting the pine nuts was utterly amazing and I plan to

For the holidays this year my husband bought me the best cookbook, America's Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook.  It is so informative and has great ways to cook healthier.  I look for recipes that I would be easy to modify to make it gluten-free.  Lucky for me, this green chili chicken enchilada recipe was naturally gluten-free and seriously delicious!! I modified it slightly since I

If you like chili, this is the recipe for you.  The best part?  It's so easy to add/change any of the ingredients to your liking.  Add more spicy peppers or enhance with some fresh corn.  Add beans.  Change up the spices.  This was a creation that I made with my husband this weekend in our 6 quart Dutch oven on the stove top.  You can also use a slow cooker (a.k.a. crock pot) but it will just

It's always a thrill when I find a new GF product at the "regular" supermarket...like Food Emporium or Gristedes in NYC.  But to see an entire SECTION dedicated to GF products...well, it just made my eyes tear up a bit! Located at 83rd and 3rd Avenue on the Upper East Side, this surely was an exciting trip to the supermarket!! Thanks Food Emporium for making my evening!!!!

I absolutely LOVE my Mario Batali Dutch Oven.  It is so easy to make hearty Gluten-free recipes. I made this pot roast last weekend and it came out so good, I literally licked the plate clean!!  I used Herb Ox bouillon packets to make the beef broth and Pacific chicken broth.  I also added potatoes to the pot when I put the meat back in, and let it cook for about 4-5 hours in the oven.  The

This holiday I was happy to make my new husband his FAVORITE dessert, tiramisu, GLUTEN-FREE - thanks to Schar's gluten-free ladyfingers!  I found these at Whole Foods and they tasted light and airy, with a slight tangy lemon-zest. This is a family recipe from my sister-in-law and it came out great.  I'll definitely be making this dessert for many years to come.  I needed 2 packages of the

One of my most favorite breakfasts used to be a bagel and cream cheese...until I realized I had Celiac disease and stopped eating gluten in 2006.  I thought it was bye bye bagels....and since that time, I have not found any bagel products that were quite as good as the "real thing."  Until Udi's. Udi's Bagels toast well and give you that crispy outside crunch while maintaining the doughy

I was so excited to make my husband's favorite meal last weekend but forgot how much work it can be!  Definitely worth the effort though, because this dish was truly delicious and fulfilling, despite my error on the no-boil GF noodles! I usually use the DeBoles no-boil GF lasagna noodles but they tend to be broken in the box and are pretty brittle.  I heard of a trick where you soak the

Last night I was feeling ambitious and decided to tackle a new recipe found on CooksIllustrated.com for Chicken Canzanese.  It is basically browned chicken thighs cooked in white wine, rosemary, sage and chicken broth in a cast-iron skillet, or other oven safe cookware.  I surprised myself at how good this came out! It called for all-purpose flour to thicken the sauce but I used cornstarch

Did you know Alouette cheese spreads are gluten-free? Serve this along with some rice crackers or nut-thins for a perfect appetizer you and your guests will love! Or, you just eat this as a quick snack (as I just did!)  It is also great with some carrots or other veggies.  The spinach artichoke one is a great substitute for traditional spinach dip.

Traditional potato latkes use Matzo meal or some other type of gluten-infused binder, which makes it difficult for me to enjoy the holiday with all its greasy goodness.  However, thanks to this Cooks Illustrated recipe and my handy-dandy Cuisinart 9-cup food processor, I was in latke heaven last night!! The trick to these are to make sure they are drained of as much liquid as possible before

Last night, I tried a recipe from FreshDirect.com which is simply a whole chicken cooked slowly in a Dutch oven for about 2 hours.  It actually came from a book, from "Recipes from Home" by David Page and Barbara Shinn. It was super easy to prepare and very good - all gluten-free!  It is the type of meal you can make over the weekend and have leftovers during the week.  The chicken was

As Chanukah is upon us, I am craving my mom's brisket.  Here is a great and easy recipe to create a hearty meal when you have company.  Or just to enjoy on a cold or rainy night.  And the trick to this great dish, is finding the perfect onion soup mix.  As luck would have it, a kosher brand, Osem, available mostly during Passover, is gluten-free and delicious!!  It is also available to buy on

One of the easiest and delicious ways to start a great meal is with a caprese salad.  Simply buy fresh mozzarella, beefsteak tomatoes, and fresh basil.  Slice and drizzle with olive oil, season with a touch of salt and pepper.  Easy salad to make but it will be sure to impress!

Thanksgiving is one of my new favorite food-fest holidays.  And since I made very similar meals to the ones I've posted last year on here, I didn't feel the need to bore you with the same recipes.  However, I did add some new tricks to the dishes and those I'd love to share.  Our menu included a brined 11 pound turkey, mashed potato casserole, stuffing, steamed broccoli, and pumpkin pie.

Be warned...after reading this post, you will be completely inspired to make this dish...and then you, just like those who have already eaten this, will become addicted.  It is a serious problem amongst my group of friends.  So of course I'd love to share this with you, but just remember...you were forewarned!

I have to give a big shout-out to Babycakes in NY for making me super-duper happy on my wedding day by supplying us with my fav - gluten-free doughnuts!! They worked with my mom to plan out the best way to showcase the doughnuts, and they wound up with my very own doughnut tower of the raspberry powered doughnuts.

Another day - another dinner.  Last night - meatballs and spaghetti.  I tried a new kind of pasta since I wasn't able to get to Whole foods to buy my normal GF spaghetti - brands like Schar or Tinkyada.  I used instead Hodgson Mill's brown rice pasta.  I found it to be very good with the sauce, but it definitely took longer to boil and was higher in starch than the ones I've used in the past.

Ok so as you can all see, I haven't been good at keeping my new year's resolution to write on this blog!  As it turns out, I was quite busy, with moving apts and then wedding planning, along with keeping up with my challenging role at a start-up company. To bring you up to speed, the wedding was FAB and all the hard work paid off.  You can view some of the pics here at the photographer's website

And with a new year...I'm back!  I had many recipes which I had planned to share with you for holiday cooking, such as meatloaf, lasagna, pork roast, and awesome side dishes but, as it turns out, we had a minor disaster in my apt in early December when a heating pipe broke and flooded our entire apt. So over the course of the month, it has been non-stop cleaning and adjusting, all the while

And how can we describe a Thanksgiving meal without the centerpiece, the Pièce de résistance- the Turkey!! We got our bird from FreshDirect, complete with a brining kit.  If you are a FreshDirect customer, you can find this recipe known as the "Two Hour Holiday Turkey."  If not, don't fret! Recipe below.

This recipe is a classic in my home, and Thanksgiving would not be the same without it.  Comfort food at its best.

I will take a momentary pause in my cooking posts to highlight a great article that appeared today on NPR.com with amazing recipes for a Gluten-Free Thanksgiving! This article touched me as I felt that I was reading from my own diary!  I'm so glad we can share this and have amazing options for GF Thanksgivings all over!!

I have to give thanks to my friend Kathy for the delicious mashed potato casserole recipe. It was in her family for years and I'm happy to share with all of you. The string bean casserole is a GF twist on an otherwise classic recipe. But first, let's get to the mashed potatoes! Mashed Potato Casserole 6-8 yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed in equal-sized portions (depends on how much you

Thanks to epicurious.com this easy recipe for citrus-glazed carrots makes your Thanksgiving day spread colorful and healthy - well, at least you will feel healthy eating veggies along with those extra helpings of stuffing and pie! Here is a quick peek of the carrots simmering (my fiancé's arm!) Ingredients:     2 1/2 pounds medium carrots, peeled, cut on diagonal into 1/4-inch-thick slices

As Thanksgiving is approaching, I thought I would post once a day this week with recipes you can make this holiday.  Recipes will include stuffing, sweet potato casserole, citrus-glazed carrots, mashed potato casserole (thanks Kath!), stringbean casserole (sensing a theme??) and pumpkin pie.  Here is a quick glance of the spread we had last year! Feel free to comment and share your own best

This recipe is great for summer grillin' or can be done in the oven during the colder months.  I've learned this quick trick at last summer's cooking club, but since asparagus is in season, we made this again last night. Buy a fresh pack of asparagus, rinse and snap off the ends (they break easily).  Add to a grill pan (you may want to cover in foil) or pyrex dish.  Add a drizzle of olive oil,

This time of year always makes me crave my favorite dessert - apple pie.  Although Celiac disease has made this tricky for me to enjoy, I had to learn to bake it for myself - and Gluten-Free. Using this recipe (also below) from allrecipes.com I was able to adapt the pie recipe to Gluten-Free standards, with a few minor adjustments. You can use any gluten-free pie crust, or bake

After posting the Fall Harvest recipes last night, I decided to make the brussel sprout recipe again...and it did not disappoint!! This time I have the pics to prove it! I made this along with some roasted red potatoes and thinly sliced pork chops (can't get enough pork in one meal!)  The red potatoes I washed, sliced and added to a pyrex dish.  I have this wonderful basil infused olive oil,

Each October, my cooking club's theme is "Fall Harvest," featuring recipes with seasonal fruit and vegetables.  Last year was especially good: potato and leek soup, spaghetti squash with marinara, rosemary and pancetta brussel sprouts, and pumpkin pie.  These were very easy recipes to follow (listed at the bottom of this posting), and were for the most part, Gluten-Free! (Apologies in advance for

I've heard great things about the GF mixes by Betty Crocker, but was struggling to find any in Manhattan supermarkets.  About a month ago, I was deliciously surprised.  Thanks to my future mother-in-law, who was visting NY from out of state, we now had a box, as she was able to buy it in her local store. These brownies were so easy to make...even easier than the Pamela's mix, which I've used

Our most recent cooking club featured recipes from Food & Wine magazine.  We had a watermelon salad with feta and mint, and a tangy tomatillo-cumin salsa which we put on top of pan-roasted salmon fillets and chicken breasts.  The best part --- these were all naturally gluten-free!! I apologize for the lack of good pictures, but it was so good I forgot to shoot pics before eating!

Five years ago, in September 2004, my cooking club was born, where a group of 8 girls would meet once a month at another members' apartment in NYC, to make a home-cooked meal on a budget of $10 per person. Three years ago, in September 2006, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, resulting in an inability to consume any gluten - a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and malt.  I would need to eat
