I jumped on the cauliflower “rice” bandwagon. It seems that all of those New Year’s resolutions buzzing around got me on a health kick. But, this Turmeric Lime Cauliflower Rice ups the gluten-free side dish game. Ditch the stove top cooking method and try roasting it in the oven. Roasted Cauliflower Rice I was reading […]
Appetizers might be my favorite part of any party. Whether a fancy soiree or a simple get-together, little two-bite foods are the best. Knowing that we’ll have parties a-plenty coming soon, I wanted to add a little good luck charm of a recipe. These Polenta Caprese Appetizers would be great for any party, but they’ll be especially […]
*This Creamy Dijon Bacon Brussels Sprouts recipe is sponsored by Shamrock Farms, makers of farm fresh, hormone-free dairy products, though all opinions expressed are my own. Seriously, I only endorse stuff that I would actually pay real cash-money to buy for myself. So many of us were raised to dislike brussels sprouts because they were over-cooked, […]
I’m back at it with the pressure cooker for this Spooky Split Pea Soup recipe. But, never fear. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can still make this recipe. I’ve got both versions of the recipe below. Of course, if you’d rather, you can join me on YouTube and watch how I whip […]
I have been making Soba Noodles with Peanut Sauce for years. It’s healthy, full of flavor and only requires a blender and a pot of boiling water. From a health standpoint, this recipe is vegan and if you sub tamari for soy sauce, it’s gluten free, too! Just make sure your soba is gluten free, […]
Rounding out the dessert in the Latin Dinner Party Series on YouTube is a spicy chocolate dessert. Chocolate with habanero? I promise, this recipe prescribes only a hint of the hot stuff so that it’s nice and warm, a little kiss of heat, but still completely enjoyable for most folks. The best part about this […]
This recipe for a Poor Man’s Paella is the second recipe in my Latin Dinner Party Series, a fitting entree to compliment my Salmon Ceviche appetizer. What make’s it fit for a poor man? I substitute the more expensive seafood and saffron with less expensive alternatives including hearts of palm, artichoke hearts and turmeric. Poor […]
Ceviche at first glance is a close cousin of sushi. But, it’s actually cooked due to a chemical reaction of the fish with acid. In this salmon ceviche recipe the acid comes from lime. Jump in the kitchen with me as I whip up a batch of my salmon ceviche for the first installment of my […]
I told Ryan I had made apple pies. His ears perked up, expecting a slice of homemade apple pie. Poor fella was a little disappointed when I produced a napkin with one of these after-school apple “pies”. On the other hand, minutes later I asked Blaise if he wanted to build his own apple pies. […]
Continuing on our “Smoked Dinner” theme, the perfect pairing for those BBQ Pork Ribs is this recipe for Smoked Gouda Potato Salad. Gouda Potato Salad Why gouda? It’s a semi-hard cheese that still manages to come off as soft and creamy. When it’s smoked, the soft, complex woody flavors give it a meaty bite. I […]
This recipe for Sugar Snap Pea Easy Summer Slaw was inspired by my Mom and a recent trip she took to Idaho. Aside from her adventures in the mountains and white water rafting, she and my Dad had dinner at a little restaurant called The Redd and she came back raving about the salad. Yes, […]
Next up in the grillin’ theme of the week are these Grilled Potato Kabobs. They’re a light and healthy grilled side dish option and out of the every day for your next backyard bonanza. We all know burgers and fries are the classic match, but instead of going the fry route, I took red potatoes, […]
