Drunk Noodles
Drunk Noodles I tried making drunk noodles for the first time after I saw the picture and recipe in America’s Test Kitchen’s gluten free cookbook. The noodles in the picture had a dark rich sauce that looked so savory, with lots of umami flavor. The actual recipe turned out disappointingly sweet. I adjusted the sauce…

Gluten Free Graham Crackers
Graham Crackers These graham crackers make a tasty snack on their own, and they also make tasty s’mores. They will stay fresh for several days in a sealed container on the counter.

Fudgies… or No-Bake Cookies – A geographic and cultural debate!
The proper name for these cookies is a matter of some debate in my household. My husband – and most of the country, as far as I can tell – calls these cookies “no-bake cookies.” In my family, these cookies go by one name and one name only – “fudgies”. My grandmother was a bona…
