In June of 2006, right after my son was born, my dear friend Jenni brought us Chicken Gyros for dinner. WHOA. They were so good. I begged her for the recipe. Ever since that day, we have been making these regularly. The marinade is nothing more than some fresh herbs, sliced onion, olive oil, lemon […]
Honey and Stone Fruit Ice Cream
This is from my draft folder. Amid many computer problems that last few years, many posts fell by the wayside. Pictures were lost on my other computer, to be found later. You know how it is. What I do remember about this recipe is how glorious it is. Besides taking some cues from Dorie Greenspan’s, […]
Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad
We love tabbouleh salad, but I haven’t made it since going gluten-free because it is made with bulgur wheat (which I love so much). I’ve seen all sorts of versions of tabbouleh made with quinoa instead. And we all know that someone (ME) loves quinoa. I threw this together for a quick late lunch on […]
Cucumber Melon Kiwi Juice
I was going to take a new, pretty picture of this juice, but alas, I did not. It’s so good I slurp it down too quickly. I am still juicing at least once a day most days. I love drinking my veggies–packing as many into my day as possible. It makes me feel better. So […]
Shaved Radish, Carrot, Cucumber Salad with Tangerines and Microgreens
I keep seeing these gorgeous raw vegetable salads all over the web and I wanted one for myself. So that’s what I made for lunch the other day. I started with beautiful, thinly sliced veggies… Added some other goodies, and ended up with this masterpiece of a salad: Pretty and fresh. Healthy and tasty. Win, […]
Gluten-Free Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Penuche Frosting
Gluten-free cakes are an interesting thing to tackle. So many different gluten-free flours create such different results. I’ve found that I don’t like to use all “white” flours–sweet (glutinous) rice, tapioca, potato or cornstarch. I like to use sorghum in large proportions because I think it mimics wheat flour better in the baked cake. That […]
Marinated Tofu with Quick Stir Fried Flowering Brassica
I love me some leafy greens. The flowering brassica I received from La Nay Ferme a few days ago was wonderful. A little bitter, which is good, and full of flavor. It’s hard to believe this former picky eater could be so in love with leafy greens, but here I am. On Monday I ran […]
French Kids Eat Everything Review
Let’s talk about the way my kids have been eating. I have switched to eating a predominantly plant-based, gluten-free diet, so I’m getting my fruits and veggies in. But the kids? Not so much. I’ve been feeling kind of guilty about that. My littlest one will drink green smoothies with me in the morning, but […]
Peach-Rose Water Sorbet
Peaches are not in season in Utah, but I am patiently waiting for them to grow and ripen. We had such a beautiful, warm Spring that I’m pretty sure we’ll have early peaches this year. I pulled out my last bag of frozen sliced peaches from last year’s stash and felt a little excitement about […]
Gluten-Free Baked Gnocchi with Oregano-Chive Pesto and Slow Roasted Tomatoes
I haven’t been to the store to buy groceries for a few weeks. Picking up fresh produce from La Nay Ferme has spoiled me. I’ve also been spending a lot of time in my little garden anticipating the days that are coming soon–the days when I’ll run outside, grab some zucchini and tomatoes and throw […]
