Huevos Rancheros With and Without Huevos
Gluten, soy and yeast free on the left. Dairy and egg free vegan option on the right.
Back when I ate eggs every which way, huevos rancheros was my go-to meal at our local breakfast joint. I loved the little hillock of spicy beans sitting on a chewy, thick corn tortilla; […]
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 […]
Fresh Almond Milk

Ever tried to milk an almond? Well, it doesn’t work. Turns out, that’s not how you make almond milk. Recently, though, I discovered it is actually quite easy, not the mystery I guessed it would be. No fancy blending, juicing, masticating devices required, just a regular old blender. […]
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 […]
