Easy, easy! Grilled veggies for gluten-free pasta salad.The summer kick-off weekend is here Darling. Let the picnics and grilling begin. June is nigh. 'Tis the season for dining alfresco.

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 [..] > read more
Gluten-Free Zucchini Quinoa Breakfast Cake
Published on 2012-05-15 15:08:00
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&# [..] > read more
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 [..] > read more
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 [..] > read more
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 [..] > read more
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. [..] > read more
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 [..] > read more
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 [..] > read more
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 [..] > read more
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 [..] > read more
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 [..] > read more
Easy Crispy Kale Chips
Published on 2012-03-10 19:09:00
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 [..] > read more
Frosted Carrot Quinoa Bars

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 [..] > read more
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- [..] > read more
Gluten-Free Orange Scented Soda Bread

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.

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 [..] > read more
Gluten-Free Chicken Chili with White Beans, Sweet Potato and Lime

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 [..] > read more
Baked Grape Tomatoes with Basil and Gluten-Free Cornbread Crumbs
Published on 2012-01-24 07:00:00
Baked grape and cherry tomatoes with basil and cornbread crumbs.I'm all for eating local (if it's organic- I can't see the point of chowing down on pesticides for the virtue of having traveled only sixty forty twenty miles to my plate). I'm also big on eating in tune with the seasons. I sashay right by strawberries in February- with nary a twinge of envy. I ignore tomatoes in January with a disdain worthy of a cane-wagging Dowager Countess.With one glaring exception.Those flirtat [..] > read more
Savory Gluten-Free Scones with Olives and Rosemary
Published on 2012-01-17 15:01:00
Gluten-free scones with olives and rosemary. A savory winter treat.One of my holiday surprises was this nifty cast iron cornbread pan. This week I put it to good use. To celebrate the recent return of Downton Abbey, you see (season two has begun, and promises to be as riveting as the first). Scones somehow seemed more appropriate than cornbread. Though these scones would most certainly not pass muster with Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham. She would be- most assuredly- appalled. And raise an [..] > read more
Gluten-Free Orange Almond Muffins

A kiss of orange infuses these sunny gluten-free muffins.Here comes the sun. Baby daylight is yawning herself awake, stretching like a blinking blue-eyed kitten into a brand new year. Little by little we are inching ever so nonchalant toward Groundhog Day, toward snowdrops poking through the crust of winter snow, toward pink horizons and bird calls. But I am not bothering to count the days of winter. And I am not bothering to count calories. I am lingering in my passion for comfort food. For bak [..] > read more
