Gluten Free Vegan Potato Leek Soup

Sunday, February 2, 2014 by Unknown

Gluten-free dairy-free vegan potato soup
Creamy potato soup- no dairy needed.

Twenty-nine hours. That's how long I've been awake. I could blame the full moon, big as a gleaming white soup plate hanging in the clear desert sky last night. Or the pollen. The hostile spiky spewing of hundreds of junipers rooted round our plucky little casita. Every time I drifted toward the promise of sleep I would sneeze straight up and fumble in the dark for a Kleenex, my throat as raw as Tom Waits' vocal chords after belting forth, Make It Rain. We're talking ragged.

It ain't pretty.

So excuse me if I keep today's ramblings short and sweet. I'm hovering outside my body- nineteen inches to the left of myself. Any moment now, I might spin off with the tumbleweeds and roll down the dirt road to the highway. I might not even mind, if I end up tumbling west, rolling into the City of Angels in my sleep, snoring down Sunset Boulevard all the way to Ocean Avenue and south to Venice Beach where I live a parallel life in an alternate universe surfing at dawn. And if you see me, give me a sign. Any sign will do. As long as you dream walk the same blue wavelength.

But before I spin toward the rutted crooked highway I'll leave you with a perfect soup for spring. Stir it up when the March winds blow, and soothe your winter weary bones.

Gluten Free Tomato Soup

A yummy tomato soup with a secret. Shhh!

Sneaky Tomato Soup


A old school family favorite- tomato soup. Right? Here's an easy kid-friendly recipe. With a secret. When I was a little girl cabbage was a stinky word. Cabbage was something you wrinkled your nose at. The mere mention of the word conjured the smell of my grandmother's house- which was, in truth, an olfactory bouquet of Lucky Strikes, boiled eggs and kielbasa. Cabbage was only the top note. And how I hated it.

In those golden culinary days of the 1950's and '60's, the favored method of cooking cabbage was to boil it to death. Often, with potatoes. And apparently without opening the windows. Come to think of it- I don't ever remember seeing an open window in my grandmother's house. I have no images of curtains sailing upward in a gusty cool spring breeze. No sense memories of distant humming lawnmowers to distract from the television. No conjuring of fresh air. Was this lock-down by some unseen divine plan? Or maybe a generalized exercise in denial? Who knows?

All I knew was that the end result of the boiling-cabbage-to-death method was rather like eating swampy unidentified mush. Not exactly tantalizing for a texture and fragrance sensitive child. Why would anyone eat this? my tiny girl heart would question. Because it's good for you, was the inevitable answer.

Turns out, of course (and you knew this was coming), cabbage is, indeed, very good for you. Especially for those of us healing from the ravages of celiac disease. Cabbage, it turns out, heals the gut. So, what if your childhood included smelly bowls of boiled cabbage and you simply can't make yourself- or someone you love with all of your buoyant and hopeful heart- eat the damn stuff? Bubela. 

Have I got a soup for you.

Sticky Gluten Rice

Sunday, January 19, 2014 by Unknown

Sweet Sticky Rice



Sticky Rice/Gluten Rice
We love sticky rice! This is alternative to regular jasmine rice.
Slightly sweet and chewy gluten rice is a prefect side dish served as an alternative to regular jasmine rice.


To make sticky rice you need the following things:

A rice steamer
A large bowl
3 cups of sticky rice
water
strainer
Bamboo basket

Directions: Rinse the rice in the strainer until the water runs clear. In a large bowl, add the rice and soak  it in about 5 cups of water for 2 hours then strain. Place rice (no water needed because its been soaked) in the steamer until its  "ready"  stir the rice and lightly press down while spreading it evenly. Let it sit in the steamer for about 5 minutes. If you dont have a steamer, use a strainer and a pot. Boil water thats at least 4 to 5 inches above the strainer. Cover the strainer , stir after 5 minutes and cover again for another 5 minutes. Store in a bamboo basket or over in bowl to prevent drying out. Serve with your favorite side dish.
