Flourless Chocolate Muffin Tops
When a yummy dish from a brilliant blogger appears on my screen, I save it, fully intending to make the dish. But usually, it never gets made. Instead, I make whatever is already in my kitchen, usually from whatever is in season or was a good price. Food blogs are fabulous sources for inspiration! Hopefully, […]
Adzuki Bean Italian Sausage
The idea of vegan charcuterie has always intrigued me. It is the ultimate contradiction. And one I have frequently explored. The mock meats, fakons, tofurkeys, and quorn… leave a lot to be desired. But if you are working at home and you start with your own wheat gluten or soy, you can make an impressive […]
Vegan Lentil Soup with Mustard Greens
This is for my friend Kayrie, and for anyone who loves a hearty soup that will fill you up without weighing you down. My tastebuds can’t seem to get enough of this soup! I enjoyed a warm bowl every morning until it was gone! …right down to the last tiny lentil. This comes from ATK’s […]
Cheesy Turkey Quesadillas with Cranberry Salsa
It is all about options… and saving time, and saving money, and having delicious food with optimal nutrition… with options. What could be more simple, or option-friendly, than quesadillas? Tortillas Oh how we love to wrap our foods! You can wrap up just about everything but soup. Wraps not only make our food easy to […]
Raw Fresh Cranberry Salsa
When these little treasures hit the market, it is happy time. Fresh cranberries don’t need much attention to be delicious, especially if you like your food raw. Hmmm I wonder what other raw foods would be good with this… Something with pistachios? I see related posts in the future. This bowl is likely to go […]
Tender Roasted Turkey in Half the Time
How do you roast a whole turkey and get tender, savory, tasty results? Do you brine, or no brine? Stuffing or dressing? Yes, this is controversial, but if you are reading this post right now, you are probably the kind of person who looks controversy in the face and laughs! You are a brave soul. […]
Sun Brat Roulade
This dish started out as an idea for a vegan sausage made with bratswurst spices, and whatever else I had in my pantry. It ended up a very tasty little gluten-free roulade that puts me in mind of a Reuben sandwich. No corned beef. No bread. But the caraway seeds are pronounced, the mushrooms-sunflower seed […]
Yuca Dough
A.K.A. cassava, manioc, or that root vegetable from which tapioca is made. Tapioca is a gluten-free boon! You find tapioca and potato starch in gf flours, desserts and countless foods. “Gluten-free” can be accomplished many many ways… yuca/cassava/tapioca is one tool that may prove immensely useful in a well-rounded gluten-free diet. However, you don’t have […]
Butternut Squash and Cranberry Salad
Forget the heavy potato salad with tons of mayo… for today anyway. Here is a beautiful dairy-not-even-needed elevated chilled salad celebrating the fall season. We’re talkin’ sweet roasted butternut squash with sweet-tart dried cranberries in a simple red wine vinaigrette. And we’re talkin’ EASY. Even easier if you make this ahead and serve when needed […]
Beer Braised Brats, Onions, and Apples
A wink and a nod to Oktoberfest, this German dish will stick to your ribs on a cold October night. Bratswurst is very fatty… clearly one reason for its appeal. There are variations on the sausage recipe itself. Any of them will work in this recipe. Highly recommended though – find the best quality you […]
