delicious seasonal eats
The spinach I’ve been getting in my CSA is gorgeous. It’s easy to find ways to eat up my leafy greens each week. One of my new favorite ways uses up a whole pound of fresh spinach in one go–Malfatti with Simple Tomato Sauce. Malfatti means “poorly made” in Italian. Or something like that. They […]
As promised, the recipe for the Layered Greek-Style Chickpea Salad. Truly, I haven’t met a chickpea salad I haven’t loved. But this one is the best I’ve ever made. I attribute that to all the goodies layered in the bowl with the chickpeas. Aren’t the layers pretty? It makes it look a little more special, […]
My family often requests chicken gyros for dinner. It’s totally a family favorite. My oldest daughter loves those gyros and has ever since she was a year old. Tzatziki sauce is her favorite condiment. Her other love is shrimp. So this recipe is for her–three of her very favorite things in one–Rosemary and Roasted Garlic […]
Every year when Easter comes around, I am reminded of my grandmother and her colorful Easter Coconut Cake. There were two layers of light and fluffy white cake filled with fruit or cream and it was frosted with a basic white frosting. The topping was the most magical part – otherwise it would have been […]
Shirley J asked me to develop three recipes using their new Cranberry Almond Timeless Grains Cereal. I’ve had a lot of fun testing out my ideas and coming up with three great recipes. These Cranberry Almond Pie Bars are my third recipe. They took the longest for me to perfect and I feel like celebrating […]
(I’ve got Hawaii on the brain again. I have some posts in my draft folder from our trip to Oahu in 2011 that I’d love to share with you. Stay tuned for a few more in the weeks to come.) Pictures and text by Lindsey Rose Johnson We were fortunate to be able to travel […]
Pictures and text by Lindsey Rose Johnson. Vegetable rice rolls are one of my favorite go-to gluten-free snacks, lunches, dinners. They are so versatile–you can put practically anything inside those papery rice wrappers and call it good. I prefer mine chock full of raw veggies, and sometimes even some slices of fruit. Becoming gluten-free meant […]
Have you seen lasagna made with ravioli? I know it’s been around for a long time, but I only recently saw it and thought it was brilliant. As you know, I’ve been participating in a recipe challenge using Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Kraft Fresh Takes. I thought the Fresh Takes and frozen ravioli would the […]
Last summer I fell head over heels in love with cucumbers. I always loved pickles, but fresh cucumbers were not my favorite veggie. I think it was juicing and eating all of the cucumbers from my CSA that did it. I really love cucumbers in any form now. I love them raw in salads. Strawberries […]
I’ve been having a lot of fun with the Kraft Fresh Takes recipe challenge. My kids have had fun helping me and planning what to make with the Rosemary & Roasted Garlic variety. As part of this campaign, I wanted to show you how I plan my weekly menu, with the help of my kids, […]
