Ratatouille On Polenta with Baby Greens
2008-02-24 12:56:00 Back in the day when your intrepid GFG was way more geek than goddess (read more high school nostalgia here) ratatouille was one of those popular vegetarian recipes every fledgling Molly Katzen inspired veg-head was stirring up. It was ubiquitous. So when the craze for it hit blogs last year (due to a certain animated movie) I was unmoved to jump on the ratty bandwagon. To me it was so, I don't More About: Baby , Greens , Ratatouille
Cappuccino Brownies
2008-02-21 20:06:00 My additional food allergies put a definite crimp into my chocolate life. Making a brownie without eggs at high altitude has been a nightmare. I kid you not. You try it. The damn brownies never cook- they sizzle and ooze and just when you can take it no longer, Dear Reader, you yank the unctuous mud out of the oven out of sheer boredom and disgust (they've been baking for what, three days?) and More About: Brownies , Cappuccino
Sesame Noodles, Solo
2008-02-19 00:32:00 Find yourself bored with the usual PB & J on gluten-free bread? Tired of soy yogurt? Out of buckwheat waffles? Here is a lickity-split (not to mention, delicious!) hot lunch. Use leftover rice spaghetti and bagged washed baby greens, and you have an almost instant killer soup to slurp.

The Best Vegan Baked Mac & Cheese
2008-02-15 01:05:00 Some folks do it up fancy for V-day. Lobster. Steak. Chocolate-dipped strawberries. Not us. Not this year, at least. This morning Steve and I looked at each other and decided- simultaneously- that comfort food just felt right. Mac and cheese? he asked. Mac and cheese, I answered. True love is groovin' on the same wave length. And yes, there are gluten-free versions of mac 'n cheese on this More About: Baked , Cheese , Vegan
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
2008-02-11 20:02:00 These minty-fudgy sweethearts are crisp chocolate goodness. I freeze mine and serve them slightly chilled. Those of you more adept at fancy baking could try creating heart shapes- I never have the patience to fuss with dough. I'm more of rustic make a mess in the kitchen blasting Bruce Springsteen's Magic kind of baker than a precise "mis en place" to Sarah Brightman kind of gal. Mint Chocolate More About: Cookies , Chip
Winter Pesto
2008-02-07 15:02:00 Fresh basil is nowhere to be found- in our neck of the woods, anyway. But that doesn't mean yours truly lives without pesto. No way. It's too good stirred or plopped into soups, schmeared on croutons and grilled bread. It's fabulous on salmon and fish. Not to mention, of course, pasta. Roasted potato wedges. Eggs. It dresses up rice. Pizza. Hummus. So I make winter pesto with cilantro and More About: Winter , Pesto
Breakfast Cookies
2008-02-04 22:12:00 Even before I was diagnosed with multiple food allergies and had to give up my Huevos Diablo and Blue Corn Chip Frittata I used to eat blond brownies for breakfast. And sometimes, a cookie. Or two. I admit it. And yes, I'm one of those sly and innocent individuals who adds chocolate chips to pancakes and says, Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants, right?

Joey's Kicked Up Rockin' Guac
2008-02-01 18:20:00 There seems to be some partying goin' on this weekend. You already know how I feel about it. But who am I to deny that my Nachos Fabuloso and Lime Chicken Tacos wouldn't be some fun and super-tasty get together food? Not to mention my Jalapeño Lime Hummus. Or my Chicken Enchiladas New Mexico Style. And hands down, the best guacamole ever. Seriously. Party on, gluten-free guys and gals.

Buffalo Sausage Stew
2008-01-29 22:11:00 Apparently I lack a few mirror neurons. Sports? Yawn. Game fever is something utterly, totally beyond me. I dare you to make me comprehend football. Go ahead. Try. Many have tread that tortuous path and failed, My Friend. The visual confusion on the playing field is one aspect of the problem (I have sensory issues, Dude). But what you don't know? Is that deep down inside my private tiny girl More About: Buffalo , Sausage
Beef in Pomegranate Sauce
2008-01-25 04:49:00 The mesa is clouded in white this morning. Again. We woke to a fresh dusting of snow. I'm posting in bed, snug beneath a red and violet Pendleton blanket, hoping Steve lights a fire in the kiva soon. Although consensus is that New Mexico is drop dead gorgeous in the snow, I am so not a winter person. By mid January I am bored with fussing with boots and itchy sweaters and jackets. The tedious More About: Pomegranate , Beef , Sauce
Banana Cookies
2008-01-21 00:03:00 Two firsts today. I made my first batch (ever!) of banana cookies (and these just so happen to be gluten-free and dairy-free). And- I took my first post-fracture outside walk today, bundled up against a chilly wind, walking stick in hand, patient husband at my side. I use the word patient for a reason. Because Babycakes, walking with me is painted turtle in the shade slow. Careful. Deliberate. More About: Banana , Cookies , Cookie
Vegetable Polenta Pie
2008-01-17 00:08:00 We just got back from my three-month post-op check-up. The hip looks good. "I gained ten pounds," I said to my hunky surgeon, Brant, as he was lifting my left leg in the air and poking me in the pelvis. "So what?" he practically snorted and turned to Steve. "These tall skinny chicks. Ten pounds." "I thought you'd be proud of me," I countered. "You know- that whole, You fit the broken hip More About: Vegetable
Potato Soup for the Sensitive Soul
2008-01-14 17:32:00 Decades ago (yes, decades- how scary is that?) while I was still in art school, living in my boxy white washed one-bedroom off Dupont Circle, I would make potato soup in a blender (no crankin' Cuisinart or snappy immersion wands back then) and serve it chilled in Asian blue and white bowls (Pier One Imports, 99 cents apiece) with a sprinkle of bright green chives. Art student friends would More About: Soul , Soup , Potato , Sensitive
Weekend Picks
2008-01-11 18:00:00 January weekends put me in the mood for two things. Cocoa with marshmallows and browsing cookbooks. Ideally, at the same time. In bed. And since you can't join me, Dear Reader- as I spoon rapidly melting marshmallows from my hefty green-glazed cup, trying ever so carefully not to drip chocolate on an open cookbook as I slurp- I thought I might quickly browse some of my favorite on-line recipes More About: Weekend
Baked Cod with Roasted Sweet & Sour Vegetables
2008-01-08 20:07:00 Yesterday, it snowed. Today the winter sky is clear and bright. The snow shadows are blue- almost purple. I was sorry to see the last of our Beef & Potatoes au Chocolat go. A chilly day like today is the perfect day for a slow cooked soup or stew. But alas. There's not a cup of soup in the house. Or any leftovers, for that matter. Last night we tossed together a simple dinner for two- cod fillets More About: Vegetables , Baked , Sweet
Beef and Potatoes au Chocolat
2008-01-05 19:49:00 One of my favorite food-themed movies is Chocolat . All those sexy close-ups of thick and glossy ribbons of deep dark chocolate. The dustings of cinnamon you could almost taste. And the revelation of chile-spiked cocoa! It's enough to make any chocolate and spice lover swoon. So when I learned I was allergic to chicken, Dear Reader, you can bet one of my first laments was, No more mole! [I loved More About: Potatoes , Beef
Huevos Diablo on Soft Polenta
2008-01-03 23:32:00 I've been a tad busy behind the scenes here at Karina's Kitchen. A little cooking, yes. Now that I can stand for longer and longer periods of time and not topple over, and no, I haven't been drinking- seriously. Well, just a little red wine with dinner, of course. No, I'm afraid it's not an intoxication issue at all, it's the whole getting-used-to being vertical thing. Darling, it's a wee bit More About: Diablo , Huevos , Soft
Butternut Chili
2007-12-30 17:44:00 New Year's Day is almost upon us. Rather than wax nostalgic and dreamy about the bumpy (and enlightening) year I've had, I'd rather post a simple recipe I know you'll love. Making a pot of bean soup or chili to welcome in a freshly minted year is a tradition as old as the hills. From Italian Pasta Fagioli to homestyle southern Hoppin' John, beans somehow acquired the favorable reputation of More About: Chili
Vegan Banana Bundt Cake
2007-12-27 23:33:00 Vegan baking is a mega-challenge at high altitude. Throw gluten-free and dairy-free into the equation (not to mention, soy-free, Darling- I can't even rely on tofu yogurt!) and trust me, it can be a major pain in the proverbial butt. I've dumped two previous egg-free incarnations of this recipe lickety-split into the trash. Today, however, I tweaked again. And guess what? We have a winner. So- More About: Banana , Cake , Vegan
Skillet Cornbread with Green Chiles
2007-12-23 23:24:00 One of the first recipe conversions I attempted in my brand spanking new gluten-free life (begun six short years ago, December 19th, 2001) was my tired-and-true favorite cornbread recipe. Lucky for me, it converted to gluten-free rather easily. As a tender, fragile newbie to life sans gluten it gave me hope. The will to live. After all, when your beloved world of cooking, baking- and eating- is More About: Green , Chiles
Chicken Tropicale
2007-12-20 20:01:00 Steve's been doing all the cooking of late. I know you know why, Babycakes, but do you also know how ridiculous it is to wield a sharp knife and balance on crutches and pass the balsamic vinegar in a kitchen built (obviously!) for one person- who (also obviously) didn't cook- all the bumping-bums-while making sure your left foot is touching the floor at precisely (doctor's orders) 25% of your More About: Chicken , Pica
Nirvana Bars
2007-12-18 16:41:00 I decided to reprise a family favorite- my chocolate-coconut cookie bar recipe- just in case new readers missed it. It's a recipe too good to keep hidden. Too simple to make. Too sweet and gooey and bliss inducing. And most important- you can offer them at any gathering without a gluten-free apology. (Would that be, Don't ask, don't tell?) Bummed about the dairy in it?

Karina's Maple-Apricot Glazed Meatloaf
2007-12-14 21:42:00 After eight long weeks of no funny business, yours in gluten-and-casein-free bliss is humming to the Stereo MC's and shuffling around our one room casita with a walker. Yup. I was officially sprung from wheelchair status today! Progress. High-fiiiive me. I'm one happy crone tonight. So I'm keeping this short and sweet. Here it is. It snowed today. There's a crackling fire in the kiva. A glass More About: Meatloaf , Maple
The Cheesy Uncheese
2007-12-11 18:31:00 Don't worry. This won't hurt a bit. Promise. In fact, you might even thank me. Especially if you're cooking for a groovy dairy-free girlfriend (like my son Alex). Or a hunky casein allergic BF. A cute as a button autistic angel. And let's not ignore the teeming hoards of the lactose intolerant. One just might show up for dinner one day. Hungry. You never know. And how about those vegans?
Latkes and Two Apple Recipes
2007-12-06 18:23:00 My son Alex has been here with me in New Mexico, hanging with me while Steve flew to Nashville for a few days on film business (he missed the first Nashville trip because a certain individual had a run-in with a speaker wire). We had a great time. And cooked some fun gluten-free dishes. I'll be sharing those with you soon- but in the meantime, I thought I'd reprise some seasonal faves because, More About: Apple , Recipes , Latkes
Get Your Hummus On...it's party time
2007-12-03 16:41:00 December is upon us- and that means it's time to party. After all, the days are (still!) getting shorter- and the winter solstice- also known as the shortest, darkest day of the year- is three weeks away. Then- here comes the sun. So. Yay. Let's celebrate. Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Hummus is such an easy treat to make at home- especially if you have a food processor. Five minutes prep- and More About: Party , Time
