Gluten-Free Corn & Rice Tortillas

Corn & Rice Tortillas

I am so thankful to Sonya, a friend and commenter, for sharing a gluten-free tortilla recipe with me! I didn’t follow it exactly, so here follows my modified recipe. The original is Living Without’s Gluten-Free Flour Tortillas. We enjoyed these today as wraps with shredded chicken and shredded goat cheese. We all agreed they were [...]

My Kombucha Recipe

Back in May, I began making Kombucha, under the tutelage of a good friend. Update: Someone suggested that honey, being anti-microbial, would kill the scoby.

But her simple recipe sounded so good and so simple, so I [...]

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).
