Don’t be rough with your stainless steel pots and pans! Use a non-abrasive scrubber. A bamboo pot scraper helps scrape off chunks. For stubborn messes, fill the pot with a bit of water and sprinkle in a generous bit of baking soda, then let it all soak for about 15 minutes to help loosen up [...]

Wax Paper Covered Refrigerator Bowl
Refrigerator storage sans plastic: Use natural wax paper to cover bowls. Hold the paper in place with a rubber band stretched around the bowl on top of the paper. The wax paper helps preserve moisture. If not concerned with moisture loss, parchment paper can be used. Both types of paper can be reused again and [...]
GF Bread Mixes in a Jar — Time Saver or Great Gift!
We packed up some flatbread mixes to take with us when visiting friends on Sunday. I normally reach for a plastic bag to store make-ahead mixes, but then I thought — why not a glass jar? As you may know, I’m on a mission to reduce my plastic use. This was a duh moment for [...]
Haniya’s 11th Birthday Menu
Naomi and I worked in the kitchen all day on Saturday to prepare Haniya’s birthday dinner. Haniya is a total gourmet and picks very labor intensive food each year. That’s okay though because I love to make it and need an excuse to do it!

Stir-Fried Green Beans
I have to thank my friend Cheryl for inspiring some yummy food for tonight’s dinner. We got a big bag of local, naturally-grown-although-not-certified-organic green beans at the Farmer’s Market yesterday. I was going to make Loubieh (Arabic Green Bean Stew) out of them. But her simple recipe sounded so good and so simple, so [...]

Scrambled Tofu (GF, EF, DF)
This is what I serve to my egg-allergic children and they love it. It is remarkably like scrambled eggs and very delicious. I often don’t have red pepper, so I leave that out. Several members of the family can’t have garlic, so I leave that out, too.

Leftover Corn Skillet
Leftover steamed corn on the cob? Here’s a super easy and fabulously delicious side dish.
Heat a cast iron skilet over medium heat with a few tablespoons of oil (your choice: olive, grapeseed, coconut, red palm, butter).
While the pan and oil are heating, cut all the kernels off the ears of corn.
Transfer the corn to the [...]
