It’s Gumbo Time! There are lots of different gumbos in this world and every one of them is special with its own unique story. My favorite is chicken andouille sausage gumbo! The roux is what gumbos have in common. A roux is made with almost any type of fat and flour in equal parts – some cooked to a light blond, medium peanut butter brown...
Red Lentil and Wild Rice Soup Updated for this wonderful cold weather: December 14, 2020. I was so excited about how this red lentil and wild rice soup turned out!

Teriyaki Chicken Salad This teriyaki chicken salad is amazing! Well you know by now, I love a salad piled high with lots of different veggies, colors and textures (roasted, steamed, raw…).

You could always cook up some rice vermicelli noodles to add to it and create a rice noodle...
These gluten-free, dairy-free fried artichoke hearts are one of my absolute favorite treats! They are so good – everyone just gobbles them up. Gluten-Free Fried Artichoke Hearts I love fried foods. Almost as much as meat and potatoes. We fry a lot of things. And there are several different methods. This one is super easy! Just recently, I actually, successfully made a chicken fried steak....
Gluten-Free Fried Chicken Well I don’t think there is a more satisfying chicken sandwich than this fried chicken sandwich smothered with an easy homemade Buffalo sauce and two pretty tasty pickles!

It only takes a few ingredients and...
Restaurant Style Tex-Mex Rice I love Tex-Mex (a fusion of American and Mexican cuisine). It is hard to grow up in Texas and not love it. And we have a lot of incredible Tex-Mex restaurants here in Austin that we frequent on the regular. I mean what is not to love about enchiladas, tacos, chips and queso, guacamole, salsas, beans and rice. And there...
