Pumpkin Polenta Recipe with Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa

Published on 2012-10-28 02:00:00

My inspiration this week- pumpkin polenta with salsa fresca.It's been a hot dry week here in Studio City. Windy. Dusty. With mercury rising into the 90's thanks to the annual Santa Ana winds. Fire weather. The polar opposite of the fallish, foggy mornings I just experienced back east on my trip to New England. We stayed in Great Barrington for four burnished days of autumn's last gold, catching the Berkshires at the tail end of my favorite season. More on the trip itself (and why we [..]

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Donuts

Tender and light, gluten-free pumpkin donuts, darling.You might think I'm on a pumpkin bender, glancing through recent recipes here on Gluten-Free Goddess®. And you'd be right. I do this. Every October. I go on one long, crazy, pumpkin love affair. I am head-over-heels nuts about it. Because pumpkin is magic.

How do I say this? These new chocolate chip cookies are the best.There are stirrings afoot here at Casa Allrich. Our gypsy boot heels are itching to wander yet again. Tugging at the threads of our daydreams. Stirring up old ghosts like some October trickster wind. Frayed old dreams folded neatly away and tucked quietly behind the stack of responsibility are getting aired out with a vengeance and enlivening discussions once again. That trip to the Cape got us thinking.But before I speak too soon, [..]

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Streusel Muffins

Published on 2012-10-07 18:11:00

My new pumpkin muffin recipe- with streusel topping.This isn't a Halloween post. Or a Thanksgiving post. Technically. Though Thanksgiving is just a stone's throw away- if you somehow conjure a metaphorical stone to metaphorically hurl into the time-space continuum, piercing the veil of eight and a half weeks that blows by in a singular exhale, surely faster than light. And this exhale, it was only following a previous breath- a breath I took yesterday- which turns out to be one year ago. [..]

A new friend, gentlewoman farmer Catherine, with eggs from hens Fiona, Molly and Mona.The bittersweet, textured beauty of Autumn has always gripped my heartstrings, pulling me in deeper, connecting with some invisible part of me, so much more so than Spring. Much more so than summer's flirtatious pleasures. And Winter, well. She is a dark and icy mistress. That relationship has always been complicated. So unlike my truly, madly deeply love of Fall.And here am I. In L.A... Where Fall is just [..]

A tender and light apple cake muffin. Gluten and dairy free.Before we get to muffins, I have a game for you. Created spontaneously one night, after some dizzying Facebook scrolling (when did Facebook become one endless stream of bumper stickers?). Pardon my yawning.I think I'll call this amusement... The Dating Game. Here's how it hatched over crudities and hummus."I wish I knew you in high school," I tell my husband. This is not news to him, by the way. It's a popular topic lately, [..]

New Quinoa Bars Recipe

Published on 2012-09-13 18:24:00

Our new favorite quinoa bar with almond meal, lots of good vanilla and dark chocolate chips.The turn of the year's wheel inevitably stirs up ghosts. Last night we walked after dinner. Slowly, in a warm breeze, curled paper leaves scuttling the uneven side walk. Something in the air reminded me of New Mexico. And I remembered a day we drove to Taos, just to get out of our heads and escape the particular tunneling isolation of the writing life.The afternoon was golden and soft, almost balmy. T [..]

Karina's Gluten-Free Apple Crisp

The best gluten-free apple crisp I've made. In this lifetime anyway.I've been pondering identity lately. As in, am I the I writing this as Gluten-Free Goddess--- or am I a word-free, less defined kind of I that isn't actually I at all, but merely a spark in the collective energy source that is the great Mystery?

Gluten-free turkey meatloaf with sun-dried tomatoes and pecan crust.The morning was cool and bright. It was going to be one of those quintessential Cape Cod autumn days. A day tourists swoon over. Worthy of a post card with The weather is sublime- wish you were here scrawled in black gel cursive between sips of a Hot Chocolate Sparrow latte.

Gluten-Free Banana Crumb Cake

Lovely for snacking. Gluten-Free Banana Crumb Cake.A certain someone in our household has a sweet tooth. And- best of all- he not only likes to eat cake, he likes to bake it, too (apparently baking can be a form of meditation for some folks, a calming, distracting respite from toiling away in one's head for hours, excavating the various thematic elements underpinning character motivation, conflict and story arcs. All those juicy, gnarly, invisible threads and knots we movie viewers take for [..]

How to Make Raw Cashew Cream and a Curry Ranch Dressing Recipe

Published on 2012-08-21 10:00:00

Cashew cream makes a divine dairy-free ranch dressing.Here in La La Land it's been too hot to cook. So I've been going raw. Numero uno- it's easy. Numero dos- it's tasty. And as an added bonus (if you need another nudge) cooking raw keeps the kitchen cool as a cucumber- which, by all accounts, is chilly by default, and, well. Cool. As in hip. At least around these hipster parts (it's right up there with gluten-free lately).I am way past the hip stage of life, I am sorry to te [..]

Gluten-Free Zucchini Lime Scones

Fresh baked zucchini scones with lime.As the old Zen koan advises, row row row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily... summer is but a dream. Dear (beautiful and appreciated) reader, forgive my clumsy extra syllable as I squeeze summer in for life and stumble up the rhythm for the sake of my wandering focus today, which is how mind-bogglingly fast time goes by. In spite of the airless, oven-style heat. In spite of the sticky sleepless nights (thank goddess for iPhones).Summ [..]

Zucchini gratin gets a make-over. Gluten-free and dairy-free.On the way to saving your life there are moments that stir up a thousand kinds of trouble. Denial. Anger. Grief. Desire. The last one is the trouble I hear about the most here on Gluten-Free Goddess. The slow burn of longing. Comments and letters asking, sometimes pleading, pining, always hungry for some beloved recipe one can no longer consume. Due to evil gluten. Food is an emotional issue. Charged with hot spots and invisible button [..]

Peanut Butter Ice Cream - Vegan and Dairy-Free

Published on 2012-08-09 18:06:00

The richest, creamiest vegan ice cream I've ever tasted. It is 101 degrees outside. Fahrenheit. And I am not cooking. I am not even boiling water for my habitual ritual of afternoon tea. I am sitting in front of a petite blue desk-top fan. Eating ice cream. Homemade ice cream, to be exact. With nary a trace of dairy or gluten. And apparently, it is the best homemade ice cream I have ever made (so says my willing, taste-testing husband). Who am I to argue?It is indeed fabulous. The insp [..]

Gluten-free fried zucchini chips with vegan dipping sauce.The Dog Days of Summer are upon us. Gardens are exploding. Vegetables are shiny fresh and happy. From A to Z, produce is queen. 'Tis the season of abundance. You know where I'm going with this, right? Need I say more, Dearest Reader?

Do you crave another verbal celebration of le fabuleux courgette?Perhaps I should invent a tale about som [..]

Is it August already? Good goddess, the summer is careening by. It's true what they say about the concept of time. It speeds up and gets fluid as you get, um, shall we say, older.

Grilled Vegetable Stack with Lemon Hummus

Published on 2012-07-30 17:21:00

This smoky grilled vegetable stack with lemon hummus is vegan and gluten-free.Beneath the hot sapphire skies of August, backyard grills are still smokin' as cooks keep the kitchen cool by stoking briquettes al fresco. Cooking and dining in the open air- even if your outdoorsy territory is merely a closet-sized balcony hanging off a wall of brick and mortar- is an enduring, classic, summer pleasure. The smoky heat of barbeque spices and hickory laced sauces slathered on everything from burger [..]

Delicious gluten-free zucchini bread.Today's post will be short and sweet. I have no proper words for the complicated stew of thoughts and feelings stirring inside me. My heart breaks for every living soul touched by Aurora, Colorado's horrific tragedy. As we collectively sift through the debris and damage, my hope is that insight, wisdom and peace will prevail. I am reprising a favorite recipe here on Gluten-Free Goddess. A cinnamon laced tea bread made with garden fresh zucchini.Contin [..]

Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffin Recipe- My New Fave

Published on 2012-07-16 20:52:00

Tender gluten-free dairy-free blueberry muffins, warm from the oven.Baking a batch of fresh blueberry muffins is one of my favorite simple pleasures. I do it early, before the summer day turns sultry and my body slows to a liquid ballet of movement designed to conserve every last salty drop of intention and energy my creaky, vanilla lotioned body can muster. I rise and bake to the morning sun, stirring my batter half asleep, sipping hot coffee (my last remaining addiction). A local mockingbird s [..]

Gluten-Free Cherry Almond Crisp

Warm and sweet. Cherry almond crisp. Vegan and gluten-free.Summer is heating up. It's hot out there on the dusty plains. So I'm not even going to pretend on this one. Not that I pretend when I post. More like, slink and dart a little. Tucking little spitballs of truth between the ebb and tide of words, a sense of rhythm and momentum. Moving. Always upward and outward. Or seaward.A message in a bottle thrown high and wide.Tossing truth out there in the hopes of hearing, Oh yeah. That. Me [..]

Gluten-Free Multigrain Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Published on 2012-07-02 15:12:00

Multigrain gluten-free lemon poppy seed muffins.I usually don't bake in the summer. I mean. Do you? Who in their right mind likes to crank up the oven when it's hot and steamy outside? At my age darling, I'm sticky enough as it is. Hot flashing and fanning myself with the latest issue of AARP as I bounce and waggle on one of those bubblegum hued balance balls, lurching at my desk like a pear-bottomed yoga reject seeking not enlightenment, I am sorry to tell you, but the promise of bu [..]

Grilled Veggie Quinoa Salad

Published on 2012-06-29 11:00:00

Everyone loves a good old fashioned barbecue. The easy conviviality of a family backyard picnic. The smoky summer scent of charred goodies grilling. Lemonade chilling. Badminton birdies sailing. The crack of croquet balls. The last pink of daylight. Punching lids on firefly jars. But if you need to be gluten-free, or if you happen to be vegan, barbecues can be less than convivial. Those mysterious sauces (so often containing wheat-laced soy sauce). Those off-limit fluffy hot dog buns. All those [..]

Gluten-Free Blueberry Crumble-Crisp Recipe

Published on 2012-06-18 18:43:00

Kick-off your gluten-free summer with a blueberry crumble-crisp.Summer is not officially here until the eve of June 20th- the longest day of the calendar year. But why wait to share one of my quintessential Midsummer recipes? The kindest season is far too brief. As the Bard of Avon once penned, summer's lease hath all too short a date. So who am I to hold back and play hard-to-get, to deny you even one day of partaking in this (rather modest) indulgence?I believe in the here and now more tha [..]

Easy elegance. Summer fresh berries. Coconut ice cream. Boom. Parfait!We are slowly easing in to our new digs here on the cusp of Studio City and North Hollywood. I am still not cooking much. The truth is, I've eaten out more times in the last week (thanks to gluten-free vegan-friendly Hugo's), than I have in an entire year down in Redondo Beach (no Hugo's). My glistening, clean fridge is stocked with only frozen organic fruit (for smoothies), organic soy milk, bagged organic kale sa [..]

Create a budget-friendly built-in look with IKEA bookcases.My mind is a wee bit toasted this happy June Monday. No Darling, I haven't been indulging in any fragrant mind-altering substances. I've been unpacking. I've been organizing (like a sixties housewife popping mother's little helpers). I've been making hundreds thousands one million micro-decisions. Important, earthshaking decisions. Like, where should we stow tea boxes? Chocolate? Quinoa flakes? And what drawer would b [..]

Gluten-Free Pasta Frittata with Kale (Dairy-Free)

Published on 2012-05-21 03:00:00

Karina's Gluten-Free Pasta Frittata with Kale (Dairy-Free)It's crunch time here at Casa Allrich. Moving day looms. Packing has begun. I've been sitting on the floor like a cast-off princess in a fairy tale assigned to her individuating task, combing not through haystacks or mountains of tiny grain but musty boxes of thirty-five-year-old letters, stacks of faded photographs and yellowed clippings, evidence of another life allegedly my own. I am struck most by the persistent echoes, th [..]

Gluten-Free Zucchini Quinoa Breakfast Cake

Karina's Gluten-Free Zucchini Quinoa Breakfast CakeRemember those maple sweetened almond zucchini mini-muffins? I do. They've become one of our favorite grab-and-go gluten-free treats. I tuck a bag of them- fresh out of the freezer- into my bulging purse knapsack beach bag tote whenever we venture far afield. Like. The Valley. Because, well. You never know. It can get crazy. In L.A. you might end up jammed on the 405. Stuck as in four lanes = a parking lot stuck. Stuck as in, Dude that&# [..]

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Berry Dressing

Published on 2012-05-10 13:23:00

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Berry DressingThe older I get the more I crave simple. The sweet, relaxed comfort of home cooking. An impromptu picnic on the patio with family-style classics like horseradish spiked potato salad and strawberry rhubarb crumble. Instead of growing worldly and sophisticated and dabbling with truffle oil, each new gray silver hair spins my taste hula hooping into simplicity faster than Lady Gaga can waggle. Well, maybe not that fast. She is pretty nimble. But you [..]

How To Make A Vegan Pesto

Published on 2012-05-06 08:02:00

Vegan pesto is all about the herbs and nuts. You won't miss the cheese.Making pesto is not an exact science. It's intuitive. It's flexible. And lucky for us dairy-free folks- whipping up fresh pesto sauce is easy-as-pie (I should say, easier than pie, because gluten-free vegan pie is not all that easy).You can whip up a vegan pesto from any combination of fresh herbs, nuts and good tasting olive oil that your little heart desires. You can use cilantro or basil. Or both. Or try a ligh [..]

Gluten-Free Sun-Dried Tomato Bread

Published on 2012-04-30 13:36:00

Today's new recipe? Gluten-free sun-dried tomato bread.  Moving season is upon us. Yes, Los Angeles has a moving season. Southern Californians do not like to move in cold weather- in other words, when the mercury dips below the 60º mark. 58 degrees? It's time for UGGs and cocoa and ordering in. Not for hoisting sofas up or down a flight of stairs. Are you crazy? And yes. We are moving. Come June 1st or thereabouts we are joining the migrating, apartment swapping masses. We are weeding [..]

Spring Veggie Dip - Gluten-Free and Vegan

Published on 2012-04-24 16:53:00

Karina's gluten-free vegan veggie dip with carrot sticks.Living rootless is a mixed gift bag. There are no neighbors who know my history, or my family. Or even my name (unless they happened to glance by accident at the removable punch-label on our mailbox that sports our shared surname, one half of the story). I have no garden to weed. No leaves to rake. No fence to paint. I walk the city block unnoticed (flirting with invisible) in frayed men's Levi's and a four-year old sweatshirt. [..]

Lemon Infused Pasta Salad with Fresh Herbs and Grilled Asparagus

Published on 2012-04-09 15:52:00

A light, lemony vegan pasta salad.To speak about something as prosaic as pasta salad seems downright odd to me. I mean. It's just a pasta salad. It's something I tossed together with stuff I had on hand. I hadn't planned on it. I didn't spend days contemplating the ins and outs and quirks of gluten-free brown rice penne. In fact, if I'm being unabashedly honest here (and I am- sometimes to a fault, I know) I rarely think about food at all. Until I'm hungry. Until those fa [..]

Living Without Your Daily Bread

Published on 2012-04-02 15:37:00

Living Without Your Daily Bread by Karina Allrich Since the birth of agriculture, when our ancestors began to cultivate and harvest grains, human beings have cherished bread. It was a minor miracle, this almost magical transformation of grain into dough. Bread became the staff of life, a daily source of nourishment, symbolic of spiritual renewal. But what if bread was suddenly poison? What if wheat was toxic, and every bite of a toasted bagel, slice of pizza or forkful of penne inflicted [..]

Green Chile Egg Bake

Published on 2012-03-30 14:18:00

This puffy golden egg bake is easy (and pretty enough for brunch guests).This simple egg bake recipe flirts with being a souffle. She imagines herself in an Anais Nin novel, puffy and voluptuous, trembling on a sunlit, blossom strewn table, about to be devoured by a Henry Miller style character, an unknown writer, all bluster and Brooklyn guff, with a surprising, childlike glint to his laughter. In a Kerouac novel she imagines herself liquid, a stream of golden beats syncopated in hot opposition [..]

Raw Cashew Dip

Published on 2012-03-26 08:00:00

Eat it raw baby. Crisp fresh veggies and cashew dip.I've been eating hummus all weekend. Help. I can't stop. It all started when I whipped up a big batch of my tried and true favorite, a classic chick pea hummus recipe with tahini and lemon (though in full disclosure, I used lime juice instead of lemon). I munched it as a party worthy snack, with retro bunny carrot sticks as we caught the season premiere of Mad Men - sophisticated serial television that just keeps getting better and bett [..]

Gluten-Free Vanilla Cornbread Recipe

Published on 2012-03-23 11:00:00

A wedge of vanilla cornbread. Gluten-free yum.This is not your average weeknight cornbread. You know, the one you toss together from a gluten-free mix to serve with a bowl of white chicken chili as you catch up with Mad Men season four. Nope. This tender cake-like cornbread is a pinch more elegant. A gently sweet treat you might serve at high tea with a gaggle of girlfriends (or low tea, depending upon the company you keep). Picture fresh cut flowers on the table, stemmed glasses filled with dew [..]

Easy Crispy Kale Chips

Crispy kale chips with sea salt.You've heard the news, right? It's all over the blogsphere. And foodie sites galore. Bunny food rocks. Dark leafy greens just might save our lives, so packed are they with deeply needed nourishment and nutrition. And kale! Tuscan kale is the queenly green It Girl. I resisted her charms at first, I admit. I tip-toed into kale territory last year, with a hefty head of curly kale. And found it, shall we say, a tad, um, swampy. For my taste, anyway. I'm a [..]

Frosted Carrot Quinoa Bars

Published on 2012-03-01 14:26:00

Frosted carrot quinoa bars. Gluten-free. Dairy-free.My intrepid husband slash sous chef was craving a carrot cake style quinoa bar for a mid-morning snack. To be exact, he said, Hey. I'm craving a carrot cake style quinoa breakfast bar. You know. For breakfast. To which yours truly replied, Look who wants to get fancy. My chocolate chip quinoa breakfast bars aren't good enough for you? Now you need frosting? To which said long suffering husband replied, Frosting makes everything better.W [..]

Turkey Meatballs with Asian Style Noodles

Published on 2012-02-23 13:18:00

Light and tempting turkey meatballs with fresh herbs, ginger and lime.Okay, I confess. I admit it. When it comes to this recipe? I was totally inspired by Jamie Oliver and his Jamie's Food Revolution. I loved the flash mob stir-fry dance at Marshall University in episode four (view here at WabiSabi, one of the participants). The energy, spirit and creativity of the students, the killer combo of cooking and dance, with a generous dash of self expression and celebration got this creaky gluten- [..]

Gluten-Free Orange Scented Soda Bread

Published on 2012-02-17 15:57:00

Good morning! Gluten-free orange scented soda bread.Confession. I wasn't into Valentine's Day this year. Not that I have anything against love. Or chocolate. Or roses. That would make me a stone cold cynic. The prickly sort who kicks away puppies. Or grimaces at kittens and babies. I don't indulge in any such blasphemy.Though I may be, shall we say, a tad older than the estrogen-fueled audience targeted for Valentine's Day, I am not cantankerous. Yet. Or without sympathy. It' [..]

Kale Salad with Quinoa, Tangerines and Roasted Almonds

Published on 2012-02-08 16:03:00

Today's recipe: kale salad with tangerines, quinoa, and almonds.Something has frozen over. Or maybe pigs are flying. I actually, um, like kale. After all my mocking, my nose crinkling, my eye rolling. After tweeting disparagingly about the taste of this dark leafy green (I believe the word I used was swampy). Behold. I am converted. I have seen the light.The turning point? Lacinato kale (also called Tuscan black kale, or dinosaur kale). The long, slender leaves are delightfully un-swamp like [..]

Gluten-Free Chicken Chili with White Beans, Sweet Potato and Lime

Published on 2012-01-27 17:47:00

Gluten-Free Goddess chicken chili with white beans.Game day looms. Tight ends are tightening. Quarterbacks are quarterbacking. And after that field goal miss by the Ravens at the last Patriot's game, kickers are praying to the football gods they won't be called in for a chip-shot, with 11 seconds to spare, in the season finale known as The Super Bowl. Do I sound like I know what I am talking about? I don't. I just overheard some manly sporty banter over lunch. To which I smiled polit [..]

Baked Grape Tomatoes with Basil and Gluten-Free Cornbread Crumbs
