Being Gluten-Free is Just Another Trend

By Therese I hear "Oh, you're on that gluten-free kick/trend/fad/thingy" that more times than "please and thank you" when my daughter and I are eating around others.  It's sad, really, that throughout hundreds of fad diets and gimmicks, that the gluten-free lifestyle is sort of looked down upon.  Don't get me wrong--there are products and restaurants that are successful solely because … [Read more...]

Easy Authentic Roasted Salsa (made by an Irish gal)

Easy Authentic Roasted Salsa (made by an Irish gal)

By Therese One of my favorite food bloggers, jenieats.com, has said once if not a dozen times that the directions and amounts for recipes she makes from memory are always a guess. She adjusts as she cooks, and those are the things that are in a more frequent rotation so she doesn't note precise amounts. This is how I cook a lot, too, and most especially in the case of my salsa. I started … [Read more...]

Mother Butter’s Popcorn and Confectionary: Best in Chicago

By Therese Mother Butter's is located in Evergreen Park, IL, which is a small, quiet suburb southwest of Chicago.  That makes sense, as the founder and original owner, Tim O'Donnell, is a Chicagoan through and through.  In fact, Tim's mother opened and ran one of the most famous Chicago pizza restaurants in Chicago, Fox's Pub, at 99th & Western in the heart of the Beverly … [Read more...]

Skippyjon Jones in Chicago, Dude!

By Therese Using my very best Spanish accent, in a muy muy soft voice, I told my Mega Fan daughter that we were going to see Skippyjon Jones in  Cirque de Ole at the Apollo Theater in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood.  She may not be a toddler any longer, but that doesn't keep her from loving every Skippyjon book that author (and uber talented illustrator) Judy Schachner has … [Read more...]

Soda Bread Shenanigans: Reviews and the best gluten-free recipe for Irish Soda Bread

By Therese St. Patrick's Day--you may not be Irish yourself, but I'm willing to bet you or someone you know acknowledges or celebrates March 17th.  Our family (Felice and I) have Irish roots, so I personally celebrate, and I also enjoy traditional and authentic Irish foods, drinks, and art among other things.  My favorite Irish bread is actually brown bread, but I cannot find a … [Read more...]
