My little strawberry patch is bringing forth tiny, juicy little berries once again. I’ve been juicing so much for breakfast, that I’ve almost forgotten what a warm, comforting porridge can do for me–fill my belly and bring a smile to my face. I haven’t splurged on gluten-free oats yet. I’ve been using up my stores […]
Salmon Cakes with Leeks, Tartar Sauce and Chickpea Salad
We had some leftover Copper River Salmon that I couldn’t let go to waste. Sure, we could have just eaten it cold on a sandwich or in a salad. The idea of salmon cakes had us drooling though. Big, luscious chunks of that succulent salmon held together with a bit of homemade mayo and (gluten-free) […]
A New Joe in Town.
When we talked about moving back to Utah from New York, I would always say, “I’m never moving back to Utah until there’s a Trader Joe’s.” People thought I was exaggerating. I wasn’t. I didn’t think life was worth living without a Trader Joe’s down the road. We moved anyway. Sunflower and Whole Foods had […]
Sockeye Salmon with Sauteed Spring Veggies and Leafy Greens
Post edit 06/05/2012–Doh! I meant that this was Sockeye, not King. King is coming later and I cannot wait! I’m so happy to tell you about the Copper River Salmon I received on Friday. I joined the 2012 Copper River Salmon Fresh Catch Crew.So, here I am in Utah, really far from the ocean and […]
Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki
In June of 2006, right after my son was born, my dear friend Jenni brought us Chicken Gyros for dinner. WHOA. They were so good. I begged her for the recipe. Ever since that day, we have been making these regularly. The marinade is nothing more than some fresh herbs, sliced onion, olive oil, lemon […]
Honey and Stone Fruit Ice Cream
This is from my draft folder. Amid many computer problems that last few years, many posts fell by the wayside. Pictures were lost on my other computer, to be found later. You know how it is. What I do remember about this recipe is how glorious it is. Besides taking some cues from Dorie Greenspan’s, […]
Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad
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 […]
Cucumber Melon Kiwi Juice
I was going to take a new, pretty picture of this juice, but alas, I did not. It’s so good I slurp it down too quickly. I am still juicing at least once a day most days. I love drinking my veggies–packing as many into my day as possible. It makes me feel better. So […]
Shaved Radish, Carrot, Cucumber Salad with Tangerines and Microgreens
I keep seeing these gorgeous raw vegetable salads all over the web and I wanted one for myself. So that’s what I made for lunch the other day. I started with beautiful, thinly sliced veggies… Added some other goodies, and ended up with this masterpiece of a salad: Pretty and fresh. Healthy and tasty. Win, […]
Gluten-Free Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Penuche Frosting
Gluten-free cakes are an interesting thing to tackle. So many different gluten-free flours create such different results. I’ve found that I don’t like to use all “white” flours–sweet (glutinous) rice, tapioca, potato or cornstarch. I like to use sorghum in large proportions because I think it mimics wheat flour better in the baked cake. That […]
