This is a go-to recipe during the winter.  It is so easy.  The prep time is quick, and requires few ingredients.  Slow roasting takes a few hours.  However, the result is pork with meat so moist, that it falls off the bone.  My family's favorite part is the crackly, crisp skin.  When I make this dish, I often roast two pork shoulders.  I save the second one for pulled pork sandwiches.

When purchasing a pork picnic shoulder, look for one that still has the skin on.  the poor skin, specifically, the fat under the skin that bastes the meat while it cooks and keeps it from drying out.

_Pumpkin bread is a wonderful addition to the holiday table. This allergy-friendly version is delicious and very moist. I like to bake my pumpkin bread in muffin tins rather than a single loaf pan. This shortens the baking time, and the individual portions make serving easier and portable.

Rustic Apple Pie 10/04/2011
 
_Autumn brings an abundance of crisp juicy apples. And I can't think of anything better than using them to make an old fashioned apple pie. Here is a recipe for a rustic, free-form pie. You don't even need a pie plate! It is wheat, dairy, eggs, peanut and nut free. You can also make it soy free by using Spectrum shortening instead of Earth Balance shortening sticks. I use superfine brown rice and sweet rice flours. If you can not find the superfine flours, you can use regular brown rice and sweet rice flours. However, the texture will not be as smooth. I have served this pie to friends and they were shocked to discover that it was allergen-free. This recipe makes enough for 2 pies.

_What's the best part of cake?  The frosting of course! I found a recipe for vanilla butter cream frosting in Elizabeth Gordon's Allergy-Free Desserts cookbook, that I absolutely loved!  It made the lightest, fluffiest frosting-- alleShoppingrgy-free or not!

_Spring has arrived and this means that fresh, locally grown produce will start to make their appearance in grocery stores and farmer's markets. Two of the many ways to enjoy the local bounty is to include them in refreshing pasta salads or with savory dips. However, for those with egg and dairy allergies, using the terms "creamy" or " buttery" to describe a food is usually a signal to stay away!

_These shortbread cookies are like the ones I had as a child when I lived in Europe.  They melt in your mouth.  What's best?  You can even store the dough in the fridge and use them as you need them!   There's no egg so it's easy to keep.
