Spicy Salsa Beans
Gluten, corn, dairy, egg, yeast and soy free. Vegan
Cooking beans from scratch requires remembering the night before that you want to cook beans the next day. I’m not always on top of that. You’ll always find a few cans of organic beans in my pantry.
These […]
Fresh Roasted Tomato Salsa
Gluten, dairy, egg, soy and yeast-free. Vegan.
I really like good salsa with crisp, corny, tortilla chips. Mostly I like salsa because it usually means there’s fresh guacamole and an icy Margarita in my future. For years I bought salsa — all different kinds of salsa. Some delicious and some ordinary; some […]
Dry-farmed Tomato Confit
Several years ago in early September I discovered Molino Creek Farm tomatoes — my first dry-farmed tomatoes. My Lord! I don’t know if I ever had tomatoes so red; so sweet; so seductively rich with flavor. At first I ate them plain, like fruit bursting with juice that sometimes dribbles down […]
Simple Fresh Guacamole
I honestly don’t remember my first bite of avocado, but I know it was on my premier trek to California between my Freshman and Sophomore years at college. (The one where my Father thought I was going to run off with my boyfriend to a commune in the Mojave Desert trip.)
I loved avocados from […]
Seafood Marinara
Gluten, egg, dairy, soy and yeast free.
As a kid growing up on the South Shore of Long Island, I hated, really hated, fish. Luckily, by the time I was about 12 I discovered clams — beautiful, hard shell clams from the Great South Bay that were probably pulled from […]
REVISED: Gluten, Dairy and Egg-free, Vegan Blueberry Pancakes
Gluten, egg, dairy, soy and yeast-free. Vegan.
Author’s Note: As you can see by the comments below, there was something horribly wrong with the way I presented this recipe. I’m not sure how that happened, but I’m here to fix it. The ingredients were the main problem. I must have had […]
Greek Lemon and Garlic Chicken with Roast Potatoes
This is home-style Greek cooking that transports me back to the kitchen I grew up in. The lemon, garlic, rosemary and oregano whisked in olive oil caramelizes with the pan juices as the dish roasts giving off the most intoxicating aroma. I serve it with Greek Green Beans […]
Cannellini Bean Soup with Mint and Lemon
Free from: gluten, eggs, dairy, soy, corn, nuts and yeast. Vegan. Ok for Blood type A.
Cleaning out the cupboards as I packed to move home I came across a bag of dried cannellini beans (among so many other things that will get left behind or given to my friends). Dinner was […]
Cannellini Bean Hummus with Tuna Salad
Free-from: gluten, eggs, dairy, soy, yeast, corn and nuts. Vegan (hummus). OK for blood Types A and O*(hummus).
A quick and healthy snack with raw vegetables, or, in place of mayonnaise in salads and sandwiches or even cream cheese with smoked salmon, hummus is one of my go-to foods. Beans […]
Raspberry Thumbprint cookies
Free from: gluten, dairy, egg, yeast, corn and soy. Vegan. Contains nuts.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and what better way to say “I love you” than these home-baked thumbprint cookies with passionate red raspberry centers. Don’t get me wrong, I love dark chocolate, red wine, truffles (the white […]
