Gluten-intolerant, chief cook in the home for many years. Now I must relearn how to cook. Sad realization that delivery pizza will never again be an option. Oh, well. I live in CT, USA and love Italian, Asian, and American fare. My parents taught me how to cook. My mom was a basic-staples gal, but my dad was an Italian master of everything food---from marinara to home-pickled eggplant.....stored in little instant Maxwell House coffee jars.... I was always at the stove with him, or helping my mom with the basics. Quitting gluten is worse than quitting smoking! But it's a matter of choices. Health to all....! Mental Lentil Soup (My recipe), minestrone, Thanksgiving dinner, marinara w/extra garlic and burgundy, one-pan rice dishes, roasts, pulled chicken & pork (with my own bbq sauce), fresh greens sauteed w/garlic & olive oil, My famous Mental Lentil Soup and my New England Corn Chowder leaving the stove to be on this site.
