RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a Pennsylvania country girl, transplanted to the Maryland Metro area since 1988. I have always loved cooking and trying new recipes. I recently found out I am gluten and dairy sensitive, and have been put on a very restricted diet. At first, this was crushing! But . . . I still love to cook and try new recipes, NOW I get to experiment with alternatives, and substitutions in my old recipes. If you have any yummy suggestions, pass them on. I'd love to try them.
