Do You Know where your Claire has been?? It becomes obvious you’ve been busy doing other things when all your blog posts are labeled “older posts.” This seems to be the case for me at present as within the last year the only things I’ve posted were snippets about gluten and gingerbread, neither of which [...]

Giving Gluten a Rest
Baker to the core, gluten might be my best friend. Hand in hand, we skipped through bread hills on the regular. Even during the vegan days, gluten was a food source shaped into lumpy chewy chunks called Seiten and dried chips of TVP (texturized vegetable protein) were stirred into soups and stews. All those chewy [...]
Gingerbread Man Joy
Run, Run As Fast As You Can…. Time to Catch the Gingerbread Man Gazing over the edge of the counter at my mother’s friend’s home, I could barely reach my arms up enough to break off pieces of a large brown cookie that was spicy and soft. I had no idea what it was, had [...]
Forgetting Fair Trade?
Well, are we? You tell me. Long ago and not so far away, Fair Trade was the hot topic. People oogled over where coffee came from, searching for a tiny emblem that signified if it was fair trade certified or not. Fair traded seemed to be a move in the right direction; give workers and [...]
Up the River: MS Matters
Gather round now and get your skillets ready… I’m going home! Alright only to visit but it will be a productive and intense time of talking to people, visiting places and eating the fares all in the name of food. Good fair food for all… I can’t wait to get to MS and see what [...]
Ham Hock Holding
Green Beans Evoked this moment Last Thursday: There are times when you start to remember where you come from and know when it is time to go on back. Though getting myself to Mississippi and a front porch somewhere in the sprawling lands of the delta was not in the cards this morning, I did [...]
Blueberries For Claire
And for the jam fellow. Ok, and my sister, my neice, my friends, and you! Enter The Blueberry… the best little berries out there. "Well, get here early." "Oh, so you get picked clean." "No, it's hot." And she wasn't kidding. In Florida I was sweating, or glistening, almost as soon as the sun came [...]
Touched by Taste
This is an article I wrote a year or so back, and still love reading it. Quite the premise behind what I do, how I think and how I eat. Here: http://forthetasteofit.com/writing-food/thoughts-on-taste/ Within the beginning there is a lovely photo of a Mushroom Barley dish that is quick, easy and man-safe (I managed to get [...]
Sprouts in the Dog House
Alright, long ago and not far away, spinach scared a nation back to into putting iceberg on their sandwiches. Spinach was the tipping point, and most recently alfalfa sprouts have become tainted. Though most are concerned with the looming "swine flu," (get out your Sars masks kids and cover your mouths) issues of food recalls [...]
Claire Gets a Blog. edit 1.
This could be as monumental as a coming of age story. My anti-blog snobbery is over. Come, eat, drink and be merry. Thank you to all who take a few minutes to enjoy the claireeats.com blog. All my love and blessings, Claire.
