Years and years ago, I lived in a studio apartment nested above a family farmhouse, and I called my home the “tree fort.”  The kitchen, which overlooked an old red barn, was the size of a postage stamp and the most efficient I’ve ever worked in.  My arms could reach everything without taking more than one step.   Imagine preparing Julia Child’s chicken crêpes recipe in this tiny space on an apartment-size stove—I suppose not much different from the tiny kitchens in Paris that Julia herself used.  

Making gluten-free and dairy-free crêpes is easy with Kember’s Gluten-Free Crêpes Mix.  And, I’ve re-created The French Chef’s master recipe for the deliciously creamy chicken filling using gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients. Bon appétit!

This refreshing iced ginger tea is based on a hot tea recipe my naturopathic doctor recommended for inflammation.  I've adapted it for summer and brew it just like my mom did when I was little.  She'd make "sun tea" in our family Chemex coffee carafe with tea bags tied to a wooden spoon so they were easy to fish out.  The tea would brew for hours on the back porch in the warm sun.  It was fun to watch the color darken throughout the afternoon.  Here's how I make my version of iced tea...

Chocolate and hazelnut make a great pair.  This rich chocolate dessert highlights the nutpods dairy-free creamer hazelnut flavor.  Make this for any special occasion, and it's sure to please!  I'm making it for Mother's Day this year, and here's how to do it...

Today our household has a hectic schedule.  And, I'm having one of those days where I'd like a little extra something that only comes from a freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie (and my daughter will love the surprise when she comes home from school as a special treat). This is when I'm so happy to open my freezer and find homemade gluten-free cookie dough ready to bake.

Twenty years ago I learned how to freeze cookie dough from a PBS show, and I've been relying on this old kitchen trick ever since.  Now that our family is gluten-free and dairy-free, I find this technique of being prepared essential.  Here's how I freeze gluten-free cookie dough and have homemade cookies in 15 minutes, anytime.
