I spent a good half hour today looking for a way to make gluten-free gravy using a flourless roux. I never did find a way so I thought I’d experiment. The jury is still out on the results. My experiment started with Chef Ramsey in mind. Last December I watched a few episodes of his […]

This past week I’ve enjoyed playing with a few different inventions in the kitchen. I am a Kitchen Chemist, after all. Earlier this week I made a pot of Taiwan Jasmine rice with PC brand curry powder and an apple. Alongside, I cooked up some broccoli, but the piece-de-resistance was the coconut curry chicken. 2 […]
I’m a fan of the crêpe version of pancakes for breakfast. Having a 4-year-old at home, it’s fun to have a pancake, waffle or other “special” breakfast once a week. Sometimes I even get creative with frozen fruit and a pot, and make a topping of some kind. Am I worried about sugar spikes? No, […]
It’s been about 4 months now. Wheat’s been eliminated from my diet minus the occasional Ninja Incursion of wheat hiding in unexpected places. I’m feeling pretty good. 🙂 Thought I would share with you my much-requested recipe of Saag Paneer (aka Palak Paneer) or in the Common tongue, Spinach and Cheese Curry. Note that if […]

Today’s breakfast consisted of: 1 slice […]

Did you know you could enjoy all your sandwich fillings without any bread products? Absolutely! My favourite alternative is using a single leaf of Romain lettuce, washed and trimmed, filled with either chicken or egg salad. However, sometimes breakfast comes into play and I do something like this: What the heck is that, you say? […]
Wheat Belly isn’t a diet, not by the intent of the author, Dr William Davis. The book is an education about wheat and what it is doing to our body. It’s not about avoiding Gluten or going sugar-free, though those recommendations are mentioned. So, because I am not gluten-free, just trying to remove obvious breads and […]
