delicious seasonal eats
If you have plans for a Mother’s Day get together this weekend, I have a recipe for you. A GREAT recipe. It’s so good that everyone will fall all over you asking for the recipe–just like my extended family did when I made it for them last year. Fresh Strawberry-Herb Dressing. It is an easy […]
Before we talk about how glorious the flavors are in this Cashew Dulce de Leche French Macaron recipe, we need to talk about macarons. Why are they so difficult to make properly? Egg whites, ground nuts, sugar. Doesn’t seem like it should be so complicated, right? But they are. Read on, friends. I’ve made macarons quite a […]
Yes, it’s another quinoa salad. And you better believe I put avocado in it too. Can’t get enough avocados ever. Someday I will have an avocado tree in my yard. Oh, yes, that is going to happen. Avocados are in season right now and because we love them so much, we buy them four at […]
Yesterday for lunch, with the help of my daughter, I made this gorgeous Arugula Salad with Blackberries and Chevre with Blackberry-Thyme Vinaigrette. I get pretty excited about salad. If you follow me on Instagram or Pinterest, you’ve probably noticed. :) As I’m typing this, I’m watching the branches from the large tree in my front […]
Blackberry Coconut Sorbet. Three ingredients. No dairy. Little sugar. Pure bliss. And? (Come closer…) No ice cream maker needed. I know. It’s pretty awesome. Coconut milk is my favorite non-dairy milk. It’s such a good substitute for cows milk because it’s still super creamy and rich, but then cows milk doesn’t taste like coconut. And […]
As if there weren’t enough cookies in my cupboard, I made another batch of cookies that I’m so excited to share with you. You know, just to shake it up with all the healthy salads and stuff. Mango White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. Hello, tasty cookies! I’ve been wanting to make these cookies for a […]
On Tuesday morning I was feeling particularly stressed out about all of the things I needed to accomplish this week. It’s been such a long week. I’m still behind on some freelance projects I’ve got going on. In the midst of all of this work stuff, I managed to completely forgot it was my son’s […]
Let’s talk about wilted salads. Do you like them or hate them? Does it depend on the leafy green you use? I love wilted salads–just barely cooking the greens with a quick stint in a hot pan or with a warm vinaigrette, or in this case, both. I made my foray into cooking with leafy […]
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 […]
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 […]
