These cookies were amazing, but I have to admit….the draw is having frozen chocolate chip cookie dough in the freezer to snack on. French Meadow Bakery has a great line of gluten free products. They are one of the only companies that makes frozen gluten free cookie dough. In fact, I don’t know of any others. I was quite skeptical when I saw the outside of the box with the stack of… READ MORE

I moved to Texas about a year ago, and have been searching out a great BBQ place since I moved here. Hands down, this is the BEST BBQ in TEXAS! My son packed down the food, and we always had someone asking us if we were ok or needed assistance. I love the Southern manners here, it is such a nice change to the hustle and bustle of North City life. The sides, mouth watering good. I recommend the creamed corn, that was my favorite side. We tried them all. I have tried all the places on the Food Network, so this is a very honest response.

Koreans do make a couple of different kinds of gluten free soy sauces and they've been around for thousands of years. The one that will be easier to find in the US is called Guk Ganjang (국간장) which literally means Soup Soy Sauce, meaning that it's a delicate soy sauce made for flavoring soups. The other kind is called Joseon Ganjang (조선간장). Both of these soy sauces are the by-product of doenjang (Korean miso) production. The reason that Koreans don't use these kind of soy sauces for bulgogi is that it's not considered bold enough for beef. The reason that the Japanese and Koreans added wheat to the soy sauce in the first place was to create a bolder, stronger flavor sauce for meats and and they were able to make more sauce at a lower cost.
