Cook This: Chipi Chipi (Venezuelan Clam Soup) Gluten-free

If you’ve read my past posts you may know that I’m always looking to try new Central and South American recipes. One of the cookbooks on my shelf, Latin Ladles, included recipe for a Venezuelan clam soup called Chipi Chipi.

Cook This: Gluten-free & Dairy-free Caesar Salad

I’ve always loved Caesar. Not the dude, of course, the salad. I’ve been off of dairy for almost 15 years so it was out of the question for altogether too long. Then a few years back my sister developed a vegan dairy-free Caesar recipe that has become a staple for both of our families. We’ve found it’s not only good on salad but also on…

Cook This: Pepián de Pollo (Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Soy-free)

My son was adopted from Guatemala as an infant. We try hard to get him exposure to various things Central and South American, food included. Actually, given how much we love to eat, food especially.

Cook This: Farro and Roasted Butternut Squash.

Farro is a grain that is common in Italian restaurants and delis. You can find it here in the health food store and occasionally at restaurants- here in Portland, anyway.

The granola at the market is always a bit too expensive and a bit too sweet for my taste. I started making my own just last year.

Cook This: Lemon Walnut Green Beans v2.1

I had another lemon-walnut green bean recipe up a few months back but the original poster took the recipe down. I decided to make some changes and ended up with this deliciousness.

Cook This: Grilled Monster Pork Chops with Tomatillo and Green Apple Sauce (not to be confused with applesauce.)

We had a few double cut pork chops in our freezer from, oh, about 9 months ago. Even though we had used the Seal-a-Meal Food Saver I was worried they’d be too old. Not so! They didn’t even smell a little bit like freezer.

Cook This: Hazelnut and Honey-Roasted Acorn Squash.

When I was in college my roommate, on his way to town to buy the groceries, passed a farmer selling butternut squash out of the back of his pickup. He pulled over and was somehow talked into buying a BUSHEL of butternut squash.

Cook This: Causa (round 2)

I was excited to see a causa recipe and decided to make it to compare it to the one I posted a few weeks back.
