This past fall I decided to try out recipes from homemade cookbooks from various women’s organizations. I discovered this recipe and gave it a gluten free/dairy free makeover in addition to adjusting some of the ingredients to match our Californian healthier eating habits. I hope you enjoy this recipe for gluten free American Chop Suey.
I have only made this once and it turned out better than I had anticipated. Please do not judge me for going into a new recipe with low expectations, but I find if I go into some of these thing with deliberately low expectations I have nowhere but up to go and will in the end be happier with the results!
