Hot Salmon Spinach Dip
Raise your hand if you always order spinach dip for your appetizer when you’re eating out? (I’m raising my hand.) I love the stuff. Usually it has artichokes in it. Sometimes green chiles. But this version…you’re gonna love it. It just seemed natural to add salmon and dill to spinach dip and bake it until […]
Gluten-Free Custard Tart with Summer Fruit
In honor of Julia Child’s 100th birthday, I’m sharing my take on a classic French tart. My custard tart is a little over-the-top maybe, but it’s definitely worth the multiple steps and extra ingredients. ;) My Summers with Julia When I was a kid in the 90s and home all summer, I would often watch […]
Watermelon Otai For A Crowd
Every summer get-together deserves a great party punch. When my husband’s aunt and uncle invited us to their farm for a little family reunion yesterday, I asked if we could make Watermelon Otai. Otai is something we usually seem to have at big family parties with my husband’s side of the family. Everyone loves it, […]
Julia Child’s Floating Islands Recipe
Other kids would be playing outside during summer vacation, and I did that too, but mostly I would spend the afternoons watching cooking shows on PBS. I paid attention and learned about new foods with names I’d never heard of. I would experiment here and there with some basics I had learned, but it wasn’t […]
Salmon Nicoise Salad with Carrot and Yogurt Sauce
I was at Whole Foods in Downtown Salt Lake City last week, and guess what I saw? A big ol’ sign announcing they had Copper River Salmon. They had a big, beautiful fillet in the case that the guy at the counter told me it go very quickly. I told him I already had some […]
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 […]
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 […]
Homemade Ranch Dressing
Remember what I said about salad with ranch dressing a few days ago? I meant that gloopy, greasy, overly sweet stuff from the bottle. Not this glorious creamy dressing that might as well be from heaven. My husband claimed to hate ranch dressing until I started making it from scratch. Truthfully, I didn’t even like […]
Polenta with Mushrooms and Flowering Brassica
I saw Helene’s post, Creamy Polenta with Russian Kale and Shitake Mushrooms a few weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. You know we’re big fans of polenta around here. I especially love polenta with greens. As I was trying to come up with a way to use […]
Radishes with Vegan Coconut Butter
So…the original recipe for the Vegan Coconut Butter is titled “coconut margarine.” I don’t want to call it that because the word conjures up bad images of the toast of my childhood. This ain’t even close to margarine. It melts on your tongue–just like dairy butter, only with an ever-so-slight coconut flavor. I can’t remember […]
