Gluten-Free Holiday Appetizer: Flatbread with Roasted Butternut Squash

Gluten-Free Holiday Appetizer | Butternut Squash Goat Cheese Flatbread

When I catered holiday parties in the past, the menus usually centered around appetizers and salads. Those are my favorite party foods – always. And I think after all the sweets, people crave more savory party foods. I love, love, love using cheese in appetizers, especially for the holidays, for several reasons. First, most people love cheese. Or at least like it. Second, it creates a more filling, satisfying appetizer. And third, it goes well […]

Quinoa Pizza with Meyer Lemon, Goat Cheese, and Basil

April 8, 2014 41 Comments

My new favorite gluten-free pizza crust is made from nothing more than quinoa, water, and salt. I usually add garlic and/or herbs too, but that’s seriously it! It makes such a good crust. You cannot even believe it. I came across the recipe one day when I was looking for something else online and I was totally intrigued. I think I’ve made it at least a dozen times in the last few months. It does […]

Gluten-Free Pizza with Lamb Ham, Kale and Chard

I’ve been waiting for the change in the air. The day when I could feel autumn in the air. Do you know what I mean? The air takes on a chill that signals summer is over. It might still warm up in the afternoon, but long, hot summer days are gone. My sweaters and jackets are just beckoning to me. Over the weekend, I felt the change in the air. On Saturday we drove up […]

Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Mushrooms, Sausage and Fresh Arugula

May 1, 2012 3 Comments

So I finished a juice fast last week. Ten days. High-five internet friends! Do you know what I craved when I was juicing? Not pizza. I craved curry. Lots of spicy curry. And anything with salsa on top. When I started eating solid food again, I craved juice. Crazy, right? My husband was a little worried about me drinking only juice, but I felt pretty good. No tummy troubles whatsoever. Just a little hungry and […]

Pizza with Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Leeks, and Fresh Herbs

April 25, 2009 20 Comments

Remember when I posted a recipe last summer for a Leek-Goat Cheese Tart? My new favorite pizza is a take on it. I went a step further and caramelized the onions and leeks. OH MY. We’ve eaten this quite a few times over the last few weeks. I simply cannot get enough. We also grated a bit of Pecorino Romano on top for good measure. The only thing missing was a little bacon. But really, […]

Leeks 101 and A Leek-Goat Cheese Tart

June 2, 2008 12 Comments

I promise I’m almost done posting recipes with goat cheese in them. I just love Chevre too much, that’s my problem. And as you’ve seen, we have been eating a lot of it lately. We also love leeks. My husband requested a savory tart and I knew that leeks and goat cheese were the way to go. I also happened to have a sheet of puff pastry left in my freezer. (I still can’t figure […]
