Mashed Potatoes
I know, you think you know mashed potatoes. So did I. Then I tried this recipe. I didn’t know mashed potatoes. Anyone can boil potatoes and mash them up. It’s the way you do it that’s important. You can read up on the science on the Serious Eats site, which is quickly becoming…

Easy Gluten Free Biscuits
I found this recipe at Simply Gluten Free, which is one of my very favorite gluten free sites. I’ve never made anything of Carol’s that hasn’t turned out beautifully.

Lime Mint Chickpea Salad
After a brief hiatus, I’m back with some new light vegan spring recipes! The butter, bacon, lamb and egg yolks didn’t agree with a certain member of our family, who discovered that his cholesterol was elevated and that he’d gained a few pounds over the holidays. Rather than outright accusing me of trying to kill…

Herb Roasted Lamb and Vegetables
This is essentially the Barefoot Contessa’s recipe…I just added some more vegetables, turned the heat down a little, and cooked a little longer. I had a couple of yams that were just this side of okay, so I sliced them up and threw them in there. They tasted good, but I probably wouldn’t do it…
