Gluten Free Roasted Veggies Party Mix
Can you believe that until a few days ago I had never in my life made a batch of Chex mix? Even after the new Chex cereals came out making it possible to make it a gluten free recipe, I just had never done it.
I had tasted the iconic party mix in my life. In fact I used to love it. My mother never made it however and we never had it at home. It just is not the kind of recipe she would make especially when entertaining. She was a pretty proper British woman and a Gourmet Magazine subscriber so I guess Chex Mix just wasn’t something she would ever consider serving to guests and we didn’t really snack when I was growing up – we had breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner and that was that. This may just be one of the reasons that I am now a serial snacker (no pun intended).
Gluten Free Lentil Cakes with Roasted Carrot Romesco Sauce Recipe
There have been a lot of gluten free desserts making their way onto this blog lately (not that there is anything wrong with that!) so I thought it was time for something different, something really healthy and hearty, dairy free, vegan and main course-worthy; Lentil Cakes with Carrot Romesco Sauce.

I decided to make my Romesco Sauce with roasted carrots instead of
Gluten Free Molasses Brined Pork Chops with Roasted Apples & Balsamic Glaze Recipe
I am a huge fan of brining pork chops – it is, in my opinion, the way to get juicy, flavorful pork chops and turn an inexpensive, everyday dinner item into something special.
In the past I have made brines with boiling water, sugar, kosher salt, a bit of apple cider vinegar and various seasonings. It is great and I still do that often. But as you may have noticed, I am a sort of impatient person and the only thing that I don’t like about my normal way of making brines is that I have to wait for the water to cool down before

Gluten Free Roasted Vegetable Spread & Flax Meal Crackers Recipe
I like to nibble. I like little bites of tasty goodness. I like yummy things on salty crackers. Maybe I like it just a tad too much. My scale mockingly flashed a pretty unacceptable number at me this morning and I swear I saw it smirk.
So after a couple months of indulging in tidbits of fatty meats, creamy cheeses, and sugary sweets it may just be time to
