Kelli and I recently received a package in the mail containing a sampling of products from Shabtai Gourmet, a Kosher-certified bakery in Long Island, NY. I got on the phone with Director of Sales Andrew Itzkowitz to learn more about the company’s background and its products. Shabtai Gourmet is a division of Cinderella Sweets, a […]
Recipe: Meatloaf
It’s definitely starting to feel like fall has arrived here in Colorado. The days are clear and sunny, and comfortably warm, but the nights are crisp and cold. The aspen are well into their change of color from vivid green to bright yellow. This shift in the weather also gets me thinking about a shift […]
Homemade Waffles
Kelli and I have discovered over the last 1.5 years or so that breakfasts are some of the easiest meals to make in superb gluten-free versions. Okay – we haven’t tried bagels…yet. As a native of Long Island, I’d love to achieve such a coup! But we have tried pancakes, muffins, and…waffles! Our friends and […]
Travel: Los Cabos, Mexico
Last week, Kelli and I traveled down to Los Cabos, on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Sur. We were both craving some relaxation on a beach in a warm climate (especially since our last international vacation was a high-altitude mountaineering trip to Bolivia!). With our five year wedding anniversary coming up later this […]
Empanadas
Every so often, I attend social events in Denver for media folks hosted by MediaBistro, a professional organization based out of NYC. It was at one of these events several months ago that I met Rebecca, a food and travel writer, and the blogger behind From Argentina With Love, a delightful blog about the food […]
Recipe: Spaghetti with Meatballs in Marinara Sauce
This past Saturday, my buddy Jeff and I did an alpine rock climb in Rocky Mountain National Park. We climbed a route called The Great Dihedral, on the First Buttress of the peak’s north face. Needless to say, we worked up quite an appetite, and during our drive back to Boulder, Jeff shared that lasagna […]
Recipe: Fudge Brownies from Scratch
Brownies are one the easiest recipes to make gluten-free in a version that tastes just like the original – oh so tasty, moist, and chewy! And you can make them from scratch with basic ingredients! For this recipe, Kelli and I have used a homemade gluten-free flour mix in the 4-3-2-1 ratio. 4 teaspoons Xantham […]
General Mills’ Rice Chex
Growing up we had basically three kinds of cereal in the house: Cheerios, Kix, and Raisin Bran. All the rest – the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, etc. – were all “candy,” according to my mom. As I grew older, I expanded my taste in cereals, though I never strayed far from my upbringing. I […]
Baby Showers and Buffets
As you may already know (or may have guessed looking at Kelli in some of our pictures), Kelli and I are expecting our first child later this year. She’s due in December, and this past weekend, we flew to Ithaca, NY – Kelli’s hometown and the hometown of our alma mater, Cornell University – where […]
GF Flour Testing… and Gingersnap Cookies
Pete and I have had this blog for some time now, and I regrettably have not blogged my own entry yet. Since Pete is the writer it is much easier to let him do the blogging, but since I am the baker in the family I thought it was time to jump in and talk […]
