This recipe for Gluten-Free Grilled Chicken Pasta with Red Pepper Sauce utilizes a grill– you can even cook the pasta on the grill if you’ve got the right kind of pot! The Right Gluten-Free Pasta for Grilled Chicken Pasta I love pasta. I could eat it every single day. But it’s often hard to find a good gluten-free substitute, especially one that my whole family with enjoy with me. I like using gluten-free pasta that […]
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 of the Internet again so I can share what I’m cooking with you. (By the way, if you’re reading this, […]
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 photo and recipe development projects and I still forget to make food for my family. Ha! Well, this slow cooker […]
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 are also ravioli nudi because it’s what you’ll find inside of the the ravioli, except without the pasta. Or something […]
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 perfect match way to make a quicker version of my husband’s favorite butternut squash lasagna. I sauteed leeks and baby […]
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 of garlic. My mouth watered and watered. Last week I received a beautiful little eggplant in my CSA share and couldn’t wait […]
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 dinner together in a flash. Even my children look forward to those simple dinners. This dinner isn’t quite so simple, […]
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 brassicas and enjoy the benefits of eating my leafy green veggies as often as possible. We’ve been enjoying the Brussels […]
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, particularly if I’ve made chicken. This goes well with the famed Baked Provencal Chicken and with Chicken Gyros. Either is really […]
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 in my recipe file for someday down the road. Every so often I’ve looked at that recipe and thought, Gee […]
