My husband just hasn't found a good cracker since going gluten free, and he loved his butter crackers. I adapted this recipe from several different ones I found online. Now, I have to keep my kids, who don't follow a gluten-free diet, from eating them so that Dad will have some for the next day! These are not light and flaky, but the taste is there. And now, my husband can welcome back peanut butter and crackers, cheese and crackers, or plain crackers for nomming on into his life. Also, you can likely add seasonings like garlic or sprinkle with Parmesan instead of salt to kick things up a notch.

- 0.5 cups tapioca flour
- 0.5 cups brown rice flour

Folded Pork Cutlets
This stuffed pork cutlet recipe has an unusual look and feel. I thought I'd seen all there was to see when it came to pan-fried pork cutlets, but then I saw something called "Katsu Mille-Feuille," and I realized I hadn't seen anything yet. Okay, I'm being a little dramatic, but I really loved the internal flavoring opportunities the multi-layer technique provides. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Served here with a salad and a squeeze of lemon on top.
