This gluten-free pie crust is easy to make from scratch using common ingredients. It's perfect for both sweet and savory pies. The trick is leaving large chunks of butter whole to create a flaky crust. The baked crust holds its shape well and delivers a nice slice of filled pie without falling apart.

Sinaloa-Style Ceviche
I tried many types of ceviche, none to my liking, so I created my own recipe. I hope you enjoy it. It looks appetizing and is really good, especially for hangovers. It's Sinaloa-style because of the slices of jalapeños and red onions. It's a delicate, classy dish. Serve on tostadas with Tapatio hot sauce, sliced avocados, and Mexican beer.
