Ever since my less than successful attempt at coconut flour noodles awhile back, I’ve been dreaming of ways to make the experience, the idea, and the flavorsome food, more victorious. I needed a way to create grain-free coconut flour pasta. About 6 months ago, I knew deep down I had discovered a way – the…

I need not mention that this began as an effort in sweet potato gnocchi. Grain-free, gluten-free, and “gum” free stuff is tough. (Remember the How NOT to Make Coconut Flour Noodles tutorial?) Bless those companies who have the art down pat ~ and even more if someone can come up with a method free of…

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with soy. You see, years and years ago I went through an eight year vegan stage. Yes, it’s hard to believe now, as I feel so much better consuming a diet consisting of mostly plant foods, but with some really great animal protein for strength each…

There seems to be this false illusion that we eat like kings in our house each and every day (well, I suppose like a princess for me). Gorgeously planned meals and superb photos posted 3-4 days each week creates a sense of awe, I believe, in others, as well as myself, at times. Is it…

Pasta comes in all shapes and sizes, you know. In fact, according to recent stats, there exist thousands and thousands of different cuts of the precious and delicious semolina sensation. Although most pasta doughs all contain the same simple and basic ingredients, the shape of the noodles all create different vehicles for selective sauces and…

Oh an ode to my “Minion” friend. Really, no one knows what this little reference means, yet, I insist on supplying it anyway. Over the past few months I’ve been overly delighted to be working in a temporary editing job with a group of nine other amazing “minions,” as we refer to ourselves. It’s…
