Before Sacramento was renamed the Farm to Fork Capital, the city’s slogan was The City of Trees. You see, the city has more trees per capita here than anywhere else in the world—and a good percentage of them in my South Land Park neighborhood are citrus.

This means now I’ve got baking on my mind pretty much 24/7. Casseroles, biscuits, madeleines for my partner Lewis’ birthday, and all sorts...

It’s finally peek strawberry season! That means I’ve been able to buy my favorite berries in bulk to make all sorts of delicious treats, particularly strawberry rhubarb jam and strawberry ice cream.

Unfortunately, a lot has changed since my last trip to New Orleans in 1997. In addition to the havoc from Hurricanes Katrina and Ida, there’s the small issue of my gut tolerance for foods that are in almost every restaurant kitchen. While I’ve been able to reintroduce some FODMAPs into my diet in small doses,... Read More The post May 6, 2022 FODMAP Friday appeared first on Erika's Gluten-free Kitchen ..read more

The beautiful plate of huevos rancheros at the top of this post is from the dining room at Canyon Ranch in Tucson. In keeping with the long-standing tradition my partner and I have of giving each other birthday gifts ridiculously far in advance, this trip was his present for my upcoming birthday…in August. You see,... Read More The post April 1, 2022 FODMAP Friday appeared first on Erika's Gluten-free Kitchen ..read more

Hey there! We are almost at the two-year anniversary of when the COVID-19 pandemic literally shut down California, the state where I live, and much of the world. While the pandemic has had many effects on everyone, for this blog, it meant the need to put things on pause for a bit. It just didn’t...
