I love engaging theology and culture; that’s the heart of what I do on this little corner of the Internet. On occasion, though, it’s nice to switch things up. We all need to take time to give thanks to God for his many blessings in our lives (Psalm 95:1-3). Here’s one of God’s undeserved gifts to me: my father-in-law, Dr. Bruce Ware. Dr. Ware is a faithful and very gifted theologian.

With its vast-yet-secluded garden terrace, service hours as long as its extensive wine list, and unpretentious and satisfying Viennese cuisine, the bustling Museumsquartier wine bistrot Glacis Beisl is a savvy wine professional’s first destination upon arrival in the Austrian capital. For a traveler, a pleasing sense of anonymity, common to hundred-seat… ncG1vNJzZmimn6mxs7XNpKCnn6CktrS7zWeqrpqjqa6kt42cpqZnoGS0ra3CoqpmmpWewK15xaipZpmcoXq0scCspqer

Thought by many to have unlimited potential, he left the P-Funk collective in 1977 to form his own group Quazar, but died tragically shortly after recording their debut album.

Hello friends, Today I have a crisp and light gluten free ciabatta bread recipe for you! Perfect for sandwiches, olive oil dipping, and garlic bread this bread is simple, but showcases one of the “magical” ingredients in gluten free baking. Psyllium. I use psyllium in a lot of my yeasted recipes and some others and I’ve gotten some questions about it lately, so I thought I’d send you a recipe that showcases its power, and explain a bit about it.

Hello friends, This one was requested by a long-time reader and former pastry aficionado who waxed poetic at simpler times when coffee and a Danish were easy to come by! Do you ever feel that way? What one gluten free recipe would you request? Leave a comment I am thrilled with how these turned out! The recipe below requires a quick step before making the main dough, the first 4 ingredients are pre-cooked either in the microwave or stovetop to create a lush texture that it’s hard to find gluten free!

Every spring, when I’m absolutely certain that winter is behind us for good, I start eying the cherry pitter that has languished for ten months in the back of my kitchen drawer with more affection than one might think a kitchen gadget merits. When cherry season arrives, as it has, the ritual begins, and one that gives me great joy: I start pitting fresh cherries with my cherry pitter. It gives me joy in many ways.

Hi, everyone! A few years ago I caught wind of a spot that opened near us in Hermosa, which is the next neighborhood over from where we live on the Northwest side (we live in Belmont Gardens, which yes, is a real neighborhood!).

This place also happens to be on Time Out Chicago’s current best-of burger list too, but what’s interesting is that there hasn’t been a ton of chatter about it otherwise.

Thanksgiving is a SEXY holiday. For me, I love the food, the sharing, focusing on other-centeredness and leaning into gratitude. I find those things powerfully attractive. And you?? I hope so. Hopefully I have your attention. I hang on to that vibe and hold it close because the roots of the holiday are something else: a myth, a falsity. So I work hard to stand with first peoples everywhere in reclaiming their story.
