I’ve partnered with Shirley J again. I’m excited to share a gluten-free recipe for Almond Crusted Chicken Cutlets with Creamy Mushroom Leek Sauce with you. It was a huge hit with my family. The sauce is made from Gluten-Free Whisk Bliss. One of the things that can be challenging when you’re gluten-free is modifying […]
Caramel Peach Ice Cream
Yes. I went there. Believe me when I say that Caramel Peach Ice Cream is definitely where you want to go. Pinky swear. It kinda started when we bought our first pint of the best sea salt caramel gelato we’ve ever tasted. Now you might be tired of seeing salted caramel this and that and […]
Chewy Spice Cookies
I was in the mood for baking the other day, so I pulled out all of my baking ingredients and placed them on the counter. I wasn’t sure which direction I would go. I just felt like making cookies. The weather was cool outside. It was cloudy and raining. I could feel myself yearning for […]
Pea Shoot and Stone Fruit Salad with Brie and Walnuts
The other day a dear friend came over to my apartment to spend the morning with me. She was interested in seeing how I work – the creative process of developing a recipe through styling and photographing. The way I work is a bit scattered and improvisational at times and I certainly gave her a […]
Whole Grain Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes
I’m always surprised at what my kids will and won’t eat. Pumpkin cookies, muffins, cakes, waffles and pancakes are things they can’t get enough of. As the mornings before school become chilly, there’s nothing better to fill up their little bellies than with these Whole Grain Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes. They simply love them. And so […]
Loaded Raw Kale Salad
My husband and I shared this Loaded Raw Kale Salad yesterday for lunch. You guys, my life changed the day I first had a raw kale salad. I don’t remember the exact salad, but I remember thinking, “Oh, okay. I can do raw kale. It’s good.” It was like I could finally be a bona […]
Stewed Eggplant and Tomatoes with Polenta
Ah, the eggplant. To quote Mark Bittman in his book, The Best Recipes in the World, “There is nothing like a simply cooked dish of eggplant. One of the world’s most beloved vegetables and one that several cuisines–Italian, Turkish, and Indian, most notably–treat with near reverence.” Amen, Mr. Bittman, amen. I think Mr. Bittman’s […]
Greek-Style Veggie Pizza
Oh, man. I am really on a pizza kick lately. This Greek-Style Veggie Pizza is one that I really enjoyed making and eating. It’s so full of flavor it will knock you over! Basically it’s a Greek salad on top of a pizza crust. Can that ever be a bad thing? I think not. Let’s […]
Ratatouille Pizza (Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free)
We love Ratatouille in any shape or form. Lately it’s been in pizza form. And as with the original, it’s delicious! This is the third time I’ve made it and it never seems to get old. Ratatouille Pizza is just a fancy way of saying vegetable pizza, I suppose. I leave off the tomato sauce […]
Honey-Balsamic Roasted Fig Salad
I was in the Seattle area last week visiting with family. It was so wonderful to have a little break from the hectic summer. We moved in July. (Moving is such a nightmare!) Between that and traveling, I haven’t done as much cooking as I would have liked. It’s been nice to settle in some […]
