{This was originally a guest post I did for Spark last summer. I couldn’t resist re-posting it over here. Summer is coming, and this is a fabulous, if labor intensive, dessert to usher in the hot weather, long days, and all things fun.} Homemade marshmallows turned into homemade ice cream, homemade graham crackers, and homemade […]
Homemade Ranch Dressing
Remember what I said about salad with ranch dressing a few days ago? I meant that gloopy, greasy, overly sweet stuff from the bottle. Not this glorious creamy dressing that might as well be from heaven. My husband claimed to hate ranch dressing until I started making it from scratch. Truthfully, I didn’t even like […]

Polenta with Mushrooms and Flowering Brassica
I saw Helene’s post, Creamy Polenta with Russian Kale and Shitake Mushrooms a few weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. You know we’re big fans of polenta around here. I especially love polenta with greens. As I was trying to come up with a way to use […]
Broccoli Microgreen-Quinoa Salad with Roasted Garlic Dressing

Peach Balsamic Vanilla Vinaigrette

White Beans with Carrot and Radish Top Gremolata and Pan-Roasted Root Veggies
That was a mouthful to type! I kinda have a penchant for beans–especially white beans. I kinda just love them a lot. For awhile I’ve been wanting to make some braised beans with gremolata. I was going to use kale and parsley from my garden and I never got around to it. If you’ve never […]

I was going through old issues of Cooking Light magazine and found a recipe for Cilantro Citrus Chicken that I had marked as something I wanted to make. We really […]
Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Mushrooms, Sausage and Fresh Arugula
So I finished a juice fast last week. Ten days. High-five internet friends! Do you know what I craved when I was juicing? Not pizza. I craved curry. Lots of spicy curry. And anything with salsa on top. When I started eating solid food again, I craved juice. Crazy, right? My husband was a little […]
