Hello summer! Can you believe it? My kids have exactly one more week of school--and honestly, I'm not sure whether to jump for joy or cry. Memorial Day is the unofficial kick-off to summer, and though we don't have a lot of plans to celebrate, I'm sure our weekend will involve some combination of swimming, badminton and smoking {tri-tip in our new … [Read more...]
Another week has gone by and it's time for our Cocktail O' Clock guest post. This week's recipe comes from Laura B. Russell, who is an esteemed food writer and recipe developer from Portland, Oregon. I first met Laura at the Nourished Food Blogger Conference, where I had hauled her awesome cookbook across the country just so she could sign it. (I … [Read more...]
The choice between sweet or salty, for me, is an easy one. I choose salt every time. Call me crazy, but I'd rather have more dinner for dessert, than dessert. So when I first tasted savory shortbread, made from a Barefoot Contessa recipe before I had gone gluten-free, I was instantly deeply, madly, passionately in love.

Happy Friday, friends! Today's edition of Cocktail O' Clock comes from my sweet friend (and fellow ginger) Stacy of Wicked Good Kitchen.

Welcome! I'm Alison--recipe developer, mom to three great kids, and a celiac. I always love a good challenge, so right after my positive endoscopy I got straight to work in the kitchen, developing gluten free versions of all my old favorite recipes. Out went the wheat flour and in came a parade of strange sounding ingredients, ancient grains, and new, never-been-touched-by-gluten kitchen equipment.
I'm excited to share my recipes with you, whether you are on a gluten free diet or not--there will be plenty of variety for everyone! So come on in to my kitchen where the music is playing, the coffee is hot, the wine is flowing (and the kids and dog are underfoot). It's a little bit crazy, and a lot messy…but I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for stopping by!
