Any of the spices, other than chili powder, such as cumin and red peppers can go to the wayside if making this for children. This chili fries recipe is my way of having junk food without all of the chemicals, added sugar and gluten cross-contamination issues. Continue reading “Stove Top Chili Fries Recipe: Spicy or Mild”

I can’t describe the soft texture well enough when it first came out of the oven. Just incredible! That’s the only word I can think of for this bread. Unfortunately, it becomes much too heavy and starchy as it cools. This is an article more on what not to do.

It’s difficult enough finding a gluten free soy sauce, let alone a gluten free soy free soy sauce. One does exist, though. South River Miso makes a gluten free soy free soy sauce substitute from chickpeas, Miso Tamari, chickpea flavor. It is supposed to be so good that they limit your purchase quantity because it takes at least 3 months to make. Their products are unpasteurized, living foods, rich in enzymes and beneficial microorganisms. They start shipping this year on September 15, 2011. I still need to contact them to find out if they avoid cross-contamination, though, as I see they make a barley miso, as well. I’ll call them and update this page when I find out, hopefully today or early next week. Meanwhile, you can make your own gluten free soy free soy sauce substitute.
