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.
Vegetables & Salads
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
After enjoying a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and then feasting on the leftovers for several days, I knew that my family was in need of something especially healthy to start off the week. Yesterday, I tossed together an extra big salad for lunch and decided to try something new with the dressing. My final creation was…
Cheese Lover’s Zucchini Casserole
During our summer growing season we grew so many zucchinis in our vegetable garden, I found that I was serving them everyday. So that my family would not get tired of eating this nutritious vegetable, I had to create a new zucchini recipe. After some experimentation, I came up with this one. It takes only…
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…
Summer Salad
This recipe comes from a dear friend who enjoyed the salad at a recent dinner party and couldn’t wait to share the delicious, gluten free dish with me. Succulent red, yellow, and orange cherry tomatoes are mixed with sweet red onions, purple Kalamata olives, crisp slices of radishes, and strips of yellow corn for a…
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
I prepare my one-of-a-kind gluten free spinach pie with three delicious cheeses, unlike the traditional Greek Spanakopita which is made with phyllo pastry and feta cheese. I used to order this scrumptious pie from a little local restaurant many, many, many years ago. Fortunately, my friend had gotten the recipe for us from the chef. And…
Bacon, Corn and Zucchini Sauté
It’s the bacon that makes this side dish irresistible. Bacon, Corn and Zucchini Sauté is the perfect choice for your next potluck dinner. It will go quick. I start with wholesome ingredients like Applegate organic Sunday bacon because it doesn’t contain any nitrites or chemical preservatives. The corn is organic so there’s no worry about GMOs. And the zucchini…
