I am a lover of breakfast and also lover of Mexican food. A few days a week during the school year I teach near a cafe that makes really good Huevos Rancheros. I eat “lunch” with the kindergarteners at 10:30 AM so I order Huevos Rancheros…or rather the lady at the cafe sees me coming…

2 Kinds of Gluten-Free Pancakes and Caramelized Fruit Topping
First of all my sister already posted a really delicious recipe for gluten-free lemon ginger pancakes a while back, which you all should try. I cannot take any credit for the two pancake recipes posted here. They are from the back of Bob’s Red Mill Amaranth Flour and Coconut Flour packages respectively (with a…
Strawberry Rhubarb Trifle (Gluten-Free)
Trifle is a thing of beauty. It is boozy cake, layered like a parfait with fruit preserves, custard, whipped cream and nuts. It looks gorgeous and tastes amazing. A trifle is an excellent desert make ahead of time when you need to feed a lot of people. It is a British desert (I’ll say it…
Salad with Trout, Apples, Pecans and Manchego
Many years ago, I went on a fabulous, week-long canoe trip to the boundary waters. Nothing went wrong on the entire trip. We had good weather, there were no bugs, no one got hurt, we didn’t run out of food, the lakes were stunningly beautiful On our way back to Minneapolis, we stopped at the…

Improvise Stir Fry!
You know, everyone who I consider my tribe here in Vancouver–and I’m talkin’ my extended circle of friends and acquaintances–make stir fries. It’s my regional cuisine, and it’s a way of life. Why is this? The deep-rooted Chinese influence on the city? The chronically lingering hippy culture? Maybe it’s the fact that stir fries are…
Slow Oven-Roasted Tomatoes
I know that tomatoes are no good in New York at this time of year. I know this. But I sometimes order my groceries from a delivery service that gives “Good right now!” recommendations on their website. They said that their beefsteak tomatoes were “good right now!” and I foolishly believed them. I also saw…
Gluten-Free Quiche
My mother has a lot of friends who are boat people. People who built their wooden boat by hand or restored an old fishing boat or catamaran before sailing it to New Zealand, or Fiji or Hawaii. She married one of them when I was nine (my dad John Berry). I wholeheartedly approved of the…
Tomato and Cream Cheese Omelet
Once upon a time, my friends Alex and Katherine took me to a diner in Portland, Maine for an excellent Tomato Omelet. When I crave that omelet, this is what I make. Of course there are all kinds of delicious omelet fillings! I will list some suggestions in the recipe. The hash browns pictured here…
