Nut or Seed Butter Mug Bread Recipe

I just discovered this brilliant method of making a quick, filling, bread-like snack in a mug, and it couldn’t be easier. It’s just nut or seed butter, egg, and baking soda mixed together and microwaved for 1-2 minutes, depending on your unit.

Dairy-free and Gluten-free Cooking with Glorious One-Pot Meals

Reader question: My Dutch oven is brand new and I bought this cookbook to try cooking with it.  I’m allergic to dairy and gluten. The book is on its way to me, but my Dutch oven is a 5-qt. size.  Does that mean if I double the recipe I should double the cooking time? Thanks. ~ [...]

Oat-based Aussie Bites Are Treats for the Gluten-free Soul

It was a pleasant surprise to find a new gluten-free cookie in the random Basher’s grocery store in the downtown of little Carefree, Arizona, but that’s where I encountered these delicious little nuggets called “Aussie Bites,” from Best Express Foods in Hayward, California. Aussie Bites are based on the Australian anzac biscuits, but these have [...]
