This is something that I make when I am to stressed out to spend time on cooking (Like the final week before Christmas vacation). It’s fast, comforting, nourishing and can easily be adapted depending upon what I have on hand. This recipe calls for dried greek oregano which is the kind that is in leaves…

Gumbo Z’herbs and Skillet Cornbread (Gluten-Free)
I got this gumbo recipe from an old copy of The American Heritage Cookbook. Gumbo Z’herbs is an old creole recipe for Lent, when you are not allowed to eat meat. However this recipe includes meat stock and sausage or smoked ham bone for flavouring, so that is confusing to me….. Maybe this is only…
Potato, Celeriac, Fennel and Leek Gratin

Blackberry, Lemon, Ginger Tea Cake (gluten free)
Last Christmas, my mother and I made an apple cinnamon cake recipe from the Baby Cakes cookbook. That’s a really outstanding source of recipes for wheat and dairy free baking, for those of you who need that kind of thing. I cannot eat gluten, which is a particularly annoying for someone who likes to bake…
