Here's your gluten free one pot dinner, or lunch, or breakfast. I've had the sausage free version and unless you're a vegetarian, with sausage is better. Btw, this sausage is from my friend Manny who has a small Italian specialty store in my hometown. He makes just enough each week. The difference between his andContinue reading “Snausage and Egg Frittata”

Combine Ingredients: 1/2 colored pepper, finely diced Large tomato or handful of cherries, diced Pickling cucumber, peeled (orContinue reading “The Perfect App For Gluten Avoiders…and the People That Love Them”
Soup-er & Simple
So, I was looking for colorful legumes to use as vase filler (long story) and I bought a 14 ingredient bean soup mix to fit the bill. But it didn't, as I discovered upon opening the bag. Turns out some of its beans and grains were minuscule. Not to worry – I could actuallyContinue reading “Soup-er & Simple”
Caramel Chicken
Mine is not as pretty as the recipe in the October Bon Appetit (I have so little patience for browning!). BUT, it is super tasty and a great alternative to any of your other chicken standbys. Read the recipe carefully. (Click here to read it) It takes as much time as predicted which is moreContinue reading “Caramel Chicken”
Salted Carmel Sauce (Bon Appetit 10/13)
So EZ it's worth repeating! And eating. I snapped the caramel sauce recipe from this month's edition of BA. The apple cake is still on my to-do list. As delicious as the sauce is when warm, it keeps pretty nicely in the fridge. A bit stiffer, but heck, it was the best ice cream topperContinue reading “Salted Carmel Sauce (Bon Appetit 10/13)”
Everything but the…Cauliflower
It's not a guarantee, but it's similar to high school yearbook status in my house. As in, “Vegetables most likely to be eaten…” If they're roasted and flavor dense or presented in a form residents are predisposed to like (i.e. puréed cauliflower and potato), I have a higher degree of success. Thus the spiced andContinue reading “Everything but the…Cauliflower”
Breakfast salad for Meat-free Monday
Despite my sweet teeth, I mostly prefer savory for breakfast. If grains and veggies are not your daybreak cup of tea, try this salad for lunch or dinner. It tastes the same.I made this as a single serving but double or quadruple. It keeps well for a couple of days and travels nicely too! IngredientsContinue reading “Breakfast salad for Meat-free Monday”
The House Dressing, Green Edition
I get many calls for this salad dressing. Before I bought into the precious nature of balancing single estate olive oil and artisanal vinegar in just the right proportions, I ate this and happily. It's got a million uses from salad, to grilled veggies, to steak marinade. My mom called it the house dressing. ThisContinue reading “The House Dressing, Green Edition”
Veggie Zoup
In my house we call it zesty zoup, not necessarily because it's zesty (although it can be) but because we like saying zesty zoup. This vegan big batch recipe is a late summer staple. Mid winter veggies work just as well. The addition of barley gives a whole grain chewiness. Try adding quinoa if you'dContinue reading “Veggie Zoup”
Gary’s Green Beans
The love of my life prefers veggies with flavor. And this one fits the bill. I've made versions inside and out. But today the stove had to support an already crowded grill. Any onion, shallot, or garlic (!) will work, but the red is pretty. Ingredients: 1 red onion, halved and sliced into half moonsContinue reading “Gary’s Green Beans”
