For quite a while now I have been wishing for a flexible tortilla / wrap. I don’t eat corn often, but I called a couple of soft corn tortilla companies and asked if their corn was genetically modified. Neither called me back… Here’s what I think: If you buy something made with corn, and the…
Almond & Spice Custard Pie
Several days ago my friend sent me the link to this Bean Brulee Tart. (Am I getting better known for beans now than coconut? 😉 She said I could easily adapt this recipe, and she was right. I just changed the evaporated milk to coconut milk and the cup of white sugar to a third…
Creamy Japanese Sweet Potato Soup (dairy-free, gluten-free)
Lately my sweet husband has been doing some of our grocery shopping for me. I give him a list, and he returns with the food. Twice now I have asked him for sweet potatoes, and he has come home with Japanese sweet potatoes by accident. Have you tried them? They look very much the same,…

Gluten free Lava Cake
About four and a half years ago I found out I was celiac. So the last time I had lava cake must have been five years ago. Have you ever had lava cake? We used to live in a town on the East Coast that had a Chart House Restaurant right on the water. The…
Monday, January 31
I don’t have a new recipe today, so I’m going to do something I hardly ever do here on Spunky, and just talk a little 🙂 Last night it began to snow, and it’s been lightly snowing all day. I know some of you are probably really tired of snow right about now, but despite…

Blueberry Nut & Seed Muffins (grain-free, dairy-free)
Last night I watched Julie and Julia for probably the 10th time 🙂 So, of course, after I watched it, I had to eat two poached eggs. “How can something as simple as a poached egg be so perfect?” I wondered. Then I drooled over this muffin by La Tartine Gourmande and all of the…
Karina’s Hot Artichoke Dip gluten-free & vegan
Recently I spied Karina’s Hot Artichoke Dip, and I immediately knew that I wanted to make it and enter Sea’s January, Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger event. Seeing Karina’s Hot Artichoke Dip brought back wonderful memories of family get-togethers, where my mom, grandmother or aunts served hot creamy dip before dinner. I can’t remember the last…
Nutty Szechuan Vegetable Noodles
This is what I ate for dinner tonight. Sigh. Isn’t it beautiful? It tasted as good as it looks too. As you know, I don’t eat a lot of grains. For one reason, Ashley and I have a hard time digesting them (especially rice), and for another reason, I gain weight just looking at grains…
