I'm cooking wheat and corn free, due to allergies, and feeling so much better!! I'd love to share tips and tricks on cooking gluten (wheat gluten) and corn free.
Send me your favorite "from scratch" curry powder, or curry paste recipe!!
My favorite things to cook
Fish breaded in (gluten free) flour spiced with Jamaican spices, pan fried in organic unrefined coconut oil, seasoned with a dash of tamari. OOO LA LA!!!
Various types of rice (organic short\long grain brown, sweet brown, jasmine or basmati) topped with lightly sauted mixed greens, tamari, garlic, ginger, paprika, turmeric and almonds and a dash of wine or rice vinegar. A staple recipe for me these days.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Banana bread, made with incredibly ripe bananas and pecans from my grandmother's tree, and buttermilk. Now I am working on converting this recipe to gluten free.
