Do you love soup, but the summer heat is just unbearable? Try this cold beet soup recipe instead. It has a little heat as many Thai dishes do, but you don’t have to make it the typical Thai way. I used cream instead of coconut milk. Make it your own. It’s very forgiving and always delicious. Enjoy! Continue reading “Cold Beet Soup with a Kick”

I made this back in February when it was National Cream Cheese Brownie Day. I’m not making this up. Seriously! Such a day exists.

Have the best of both worlds, gluten-free brownies with a simple cream cheese topping and swirls of chocolate on top. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cream Cheese Brownies”

Gluten Free Raspberry Muffins
These gluten free raspberry muffins are an all-time favorite in our house. You can use a cup-for-cup sugar substitute or regular sugar. Wish to make them with sugar, but less refined?

Gluten Free Saigon Summer Rolls – Vietnamese Rolls with Peanut Sauce
While on vacation, we ate at one my favorite gluten free menu restaurants, PF Chang’s China Bistro. While this appetizer from their happy hour menu is not gluten free, allow me to explain why it’s not. The waitress spoke to the chef on my behalf. He said that the only reason why they don’t label it gluten free is because it is made on a grill that would pick of cross-contamination from gluten. Their peanut sauce may also contain gluten, but I didn’t ask. The appetizer is called Saigon Summer Rolls, also known as Vietnamese Rolls (Saigon is the former name of the current city, Ho Chi Minh City, in Vietnam.)

I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. Continue reading “Spicy Carrot Salad”
