Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest ones. The ones that require only a handful of fresh ingredients to make a dish that is elegant and tasty and, yet, so effortless to prepare. I’ve added bacon to many of my vegetable dishes, but I think with asparagus I have finally found the perfect match.
Vegetables & Salads
Sweet Potato Noodles with “Cream” Sauce
Sweet potato noodles are an easy delicious side dish to make with your spiralizer. The winter has been so long and cold here in New York that some days I’d rather curl up on the couch with a hot bowl of soup than venture outside. But this week the weather has been warming up ever so…
Seasoned Cauliflower Rice with Bacon

Today, we’ve cooked up something extra special in our gluten-free kitchen. Nicole has been craving fried rice these past several days, so we decided to make a version of this…
Baked Zucchini Chips
Two weeks ago, we shared our recipe for baked zucchini sticks here on the blog. We promised to share another quick and easy zucchini treat, and here it is: crispy Baked Zucchini Chips. My husband, John, had been craving the tasty pub food he used to be able to enjoy before he switched to a gluten-free diet.
Quinoa and Sausage Stuffed Peppers (Gluten Free)
A new year is all about trying new things. When I saw these large and beautifully colorful bell peppers at the local supermarket, I knew I had to use them for a recipe here on the blog. I realized that I’ve never made stuffed peppers before, and honestly I don’t know why it has taken me so long.
Baked Zucchini Sticks
My husband John is visiting the blog today to share a recipe we made this weekend. Enjoy! Fried mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini sticks, potato skins. I remember back to the days when I was in college, before I knew I had gluten sensitivity. My friends and I would head to the local watering hole after a basketball game or a workout and order up mounds of pub food. Boy, that food was delicious.
Rosemary Sweet Potatoes and Mushrooms
Caramelized shallots, roasted sweet potatoes, mushrooms and chopped garlic cloves are sprinkled with fresh parsley in this delectable holiday treat. I’m looking forward to serving this up as one of the vegetable side dishes at my family’s Christmas dinner.
Gluten Free Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Cheese Lover’s Zucchini Casserole
Cheese lover’s zucchini casserole tastes like pizza! It only takes minutes to assemble. Then it bakes while while you prepare the rest of your meal. During our summer growing season we had so many zucchinis in our vegetable garden, I found that I was serving them everyday. So that my family wouldn’t get tired of…
See What’s Growing In Our Garden (Kale Recipe)
As fall arrives this week, our organic vegetable garden’s summer season is winding down. We enjoyed homegrown vegetables all summer long (more about our garden here). Picking fresh vegetables from the garden is as fresh as it gets. Here are some pictures from the summer that I incidentally never got around to posting. Please enjoy. The perennial…

This is a delicious crisp cool summer salad. It’s a perfect way to enjoy produce that’s in season now.

In this elegant summer salad, succulent red, yellow,…
Tossed Salad with Raspberry Dressing
As winter continues to drag on here in the Northeast, I am looking forward quite impatiently to warmer weather. This salad reminds me of spring: fresh spinach and mushrooms topped with a delightfully sweet raspberry dressing.
Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Keto bacon Brussels sprouts! Delicious side dishes don’t get any better than this. 😊 If you want your husband to take you out to dinner, don’t cook up his favorite restaurant dish at home. Just kidding. One of our favorite local restaurants makes an extraordinary side dish of Brussels sprouts with bacon. Savoring all the…
Roasted Potatoes
These are the easiest and best roasted potatoes: crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Enjoy! One day last week, we awoke early and started to prepare a hearty breakfast, in anticipation of a busy day ahead. I put the kettle on the stove, preheated the oven for some gluten free Joan’s bagels, started a…
Gluten Free Spinach Pie
Easy gluten free spinach pie is a breeze to make. Have it on its own or pair it with a simple green salad or with a cup of wild salmon chowder or quick homemade chicken and rice soup.
