I always feel a little sheepish when I post a pesto recipe. Pesto is a no-brainer kind of recipe. I feel like everyone knows how to make it. It’s as easy as can be to swap out different herbs or greens, use different nuts and cheese, etc, etc. But I have to share this recipe because it’s hands-down my favorite pesto of the moment. Maybe ever. I guess if I mixed pesto and goat cheese […]
The weekend if finally here. I’m so ready for it. This week has been non-stop running around, working, and all that other stuff we all have to take care of each week. I put my garden in on Monday. Finally. I bought the seedlings for myself as a Mother’s Day present. I took Monday off from working so I could pull out the massive amounts of overgrown weeds and last year’s plants I never pulled […]
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 I had to get educated quickly on what I could and could not eat. There was a big learning curve. […]
I’ve partnered with Harmons Grocery to bring you three easy Christmas appetizers to serve at your next holiday party. When I was first married, I did a bit of catering. All of the wedding open houses I catered took place during the holidays. I absolutely loved creating menus to reflect the flavors of the holidays. The buffet table of my favorite open house consisted of tasty appetizers, a couple of really good green salads, and […]
Sometimes I say to myself, “Really? You’re going to post this on your blog? Something people don’t really need a recipe for?” And I say answer, “Yes. I am. Because you never know. And it’s really, really tasty. And look how pretty it is!” So here’s a recipe for a grilled cheese sandwich. :) My family goes crazy for pesto. I can’t remember the last time I just made plain old basil pesto. Probably since […]
We love tabbouleh salad, but I haven’t made it since going gluten-free because it is made with bulgur wheat (which I love so much). I’ve seen all sorts of versions of tabbouleh made with quinoa instead. And we all know that someone (ME) loves quinoa. I threw this together for a quick late lunch on Saturday afternoon after I got home from the farm and running a few errands. I ate it with a piece […]
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 […]
Another quinoa salad? I think the answer is always YES. I always cook up a bunch of quinoa and stick in the fridge to use as I like through the week. It comes in handy when I’m on short on time, but big on hunger. It’s easy enough to scan the fridge and see what’s there to toss into the salad. The other day, there wasn’t much. I hadn’t been out to get groceries for […]
Pulling a pan of piping hot, super soft milk rolls out of the oven is one of life’s simple pleasures. I make my soft dinner rolls recipe a lot for my kids. One day I discovered that they’d eat the entire roll whereas when I made homemade bread, they would leave the crusts. Such a waste! Ha! So I tweaked one of my very favorite bread recipes from Joy of Cooking and created what I […]
Hell has frozen over. I’m posting a recipe for Super Bowl Sunday. I honestly could not tell you who is playing and until Tuesday when I Googled it, I had no idea it was this Sunday. (Does that make you love or hate me a little more? I still don’t know who’s playing.) I whipped up some awesome pesto to use up a little of this and that in my fridge. I haven’t been eating […]
