Super Easy Potato Leek Soup

My 20 year old daughter is a vegan who also doesn’t eat gluten or onions. Gluten I can cook without. There are plenty of options. Meat is optional, too. BUT ONIONS? I cook with onions almost every day. So, when she comes over for family dinner, I always try to have something here for herContinue reading “Super Easy Potato Leek Soup”

Best Gluten Free Christmas Cut-Out Sugar Cookies

  These are the best, easiest to make sugar cookies in the world. I’m not saying that because it’s my recipe. It isn’t. It’s my mom’s. Kinda. I changed the “secret ingredient”, mostly because I didn’t have any of the “secret ingredient” in my fridge. I don’t have express written permission to use her recipe,Continue reading “Best Gluten Free Christmas Cut-Out Sugar Cookies”

Quick and Easy Glazed Carrots

Oh, Damaris, thank you for this recipe. It’s so well written, I’m just copying and pasting it. I didn’t use the seasonings, because I’m feeding these carrots to kids, and none of my kids like hot peppers. Imagine that. But they do like honey! And she’s right, the caramelization process on the carrots does tasteContinue reading “Quick and Easy Glazed Carrots”

Quick and Easy Roasted Potatoes

It seems like I am always so focused on the main dish that I forget to make  a side dish. Then I try throwing something together that just doesn’t cut it. Like last week’s family dinner giant clusterf**k of green beans, broccoli, and snap peas in an orange, garlic, ginger reduction. I botched the crapContinue reading “Quick and Easy Roasted Potatoes”

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 killContinue reading “Lime Mint Chickpea Salad”

Christmas and Thanksgiving Roundup

I didn’t have a lot of time to take or post photos or recipes during the holidays, so I’m doing a photo dump here. Recipes forthcoming! Working backwards…

Shaved Fennel and Apple Salad

In memory of chef Charlie Trotter,  who passed away last night. He once said, “Every ingredient is like a musician’s note.”, which I wholly identify with. I made his shaved fennel and apple salad for dinner. It is heavenly. Truly fantastic. It is only missing one thing.  Bacon. (Next time.) 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juiceContinue reading “Shaved Fennel and Apple Salad”
