Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness! I cannot tell you how thrilled I was to learn that my favorite gluten-free brand, Pamela’s Products, was coming out with pasta. THRILLED, I tell you. Pamela’s asked if I would be interested in partnering with them again to create a recipe using their new rotini […]
Antipasto Vegan Pasta Salad
Well, here it is, the first recipe of 2017, Antipasto Vegan Pasta Salad. (It’s also gluten-free!) Truth be told, I didn’t post nearly as many recipes as I wanted to last year. Life was busier than I expected and a lot of things fell to the wayside. I’ve been craving being in my own little corner […]
Slow Cooker Tomato Sauce with Fennel
I really relied on my slow cooker to get me through the winter. I use it almost every day to cook beans and other things. It’s easy for me to accidentally forget to make dinner for my family when I’m working like crazy. Isn’t that ironic? So much food around all the time for various […]
Recipe for Gluten-Free Malfatti (Spinach and Ricotta Dumplings) with Simple Tomato Sauce (Gluten Free, Vegetarian)
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 […]
Kraft Fresh Take Challenge 2: Butternut Squash Ravioli Lasagna with Leeks and Baby Portabello Mushrooms
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 […]
Gluten-Free Ratatouille Pasta
You’ve probably seen the movie, but have you ever made ratatouille? The first time I made it, I had just started my 10 day juice fast and it was very difficult not to eat some. My girls even loved the little cubes of eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers with the fresh tomatoes and loads […]
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 […]
Spaghetti with Brussels Sprouts and Caramelized Balsamic and Honey Shallots
Ocean Mist Farms sent me a big ol’ box of Brussels sprouts just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. Now, I must say that I was not a fan of Brussels sprouts until a few Thanksgivings ago when we had them with browned butter and chestnuts. AMAZING. Since that time I have learned to love […]
Israeli Couscous Pilaf with Fresh Herbs
Israeli couscous is a family favorite. My hubby doesn’t often like regular couscous, but we discovered he likes this kind much more when we bought a bagged mix from Trader Joe’s a few years back. Here’s a tip–buy this from the bulk food section. It’s much less expensive. This has become a staple side dish, […]
Spaghetti with Radicchio and Chevre
Years and years ago before I was married even, I ripped out a recipe card from my Martha Stewart Living magazine. On it was the recipe for Spaghetti with Radicchio and Ricotta. I had never even tried radicchio. I didn’t even know what it was. But the picture looked beautiful and I tucked it away […]
