I made arepas con queso yesterday. They are super easy to make. Wendy found a great arepa recipe at Gluten-Free Girl. I stuffed the arepas with white gouda before I fried them. I made 12 arepas con queso yesterday. We already ate all of them. They were very yummy! I think I’m going to make patacones tonight. The only thing better than arepas are re-fried plantains!

I love fried plantains!
Hey, Eric,
They look great. I’m going to try that recipe.

I was hoping to set up an interview with him, so I sat down for a couple of arepas con queso to wait him out. Forty five minutes after he was supposed to show up I had to go, I logged as much info as I could from Marco and promised to be back this weekend… […]
[…] While it isn’t easy to eliminate gluten from one’s diet, Wendy and I have become experts in gluten detection and gluten-free baking/cooking solutions. Since I do not have celiac disease, I still eat products that contain gluten, but I am extremely mindful of contaminating anything that Wendy may ingest. I keep my wheat-based cereals in a separate cupboard and order pizza only when Wendy is out of town. It was difficult for Wendy to give up foods that she had enjoyed for most of her life: pizza, bread, pasta, bagels, waffles, pancakes and cereal. Thankfully, Wendy was never a beer drinker! There are gluten-free alternatives to most wheat-based foods, but a lot of them have strange aftertastes and do not have the same consistency as the gluten-based versions. With the tenacity of an alchemist, Wendy has figured out how to make the tastiest gluten-free pancakes that I have ever eaten! […]
