Found this fabulous recipe in the New York Times: Citrus Salad with Prosecco. Left out the prosecco because there were kids involved, and added some blueberries, but otherwise stayed true to this simple, refreshing recipe. Enjoy!

Cauliflower Pizza Crust Part Deux: White Pizza with Pesto
This time the crust went much better than when I made Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Homemade Sauce because I actually had the necessary supplies and followed the recipe. Funny how that works. This time the crust held together well enough to be picked up and had a great texture. Using parchment paper instead of oiled […]
Steak Salad with Pear Vinaigrette, Goat Cheese and Toasted Walnuts
The salad portion of this meal is inspired by this recipe: Arugula Pear Blue Cheese Salad. All I changed was the greens, the cheese, the fruit and the dressing. Ha. And of course, added steak. In this case, grass-fed rib-eyes, but you could certainly get away with a leaner cut of meat on this salad. First, […]
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
These tasty little muffins make a great breakfast to go. I put them in muffin cups, something I don’t usually do, because the batter was very sticky. Here’s the recipe: Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins. Although I think the recipe would be great as-is, I made a couple of changes, foremost, substituting vegetable […]
Dill Pickle Deviled Eggs
I love pickles and anything seasoned with dill. When I saw that some deviled egg recipes called for vinegar and some for fresh dill, it gave me the idea to use pickle juice instead of vinegar and add some minced pickles to the filling. We enjoyed these — the dill taste is not overly strong, […]
Poached Eggs with Lentils and Kale
I’m a big fan of savory, protein-filled breakfasts. Although this would work for any meal. This recipe is all about saving time in the morning and all week. Learning to poach eggs in the microwave was a big revelation for me. I followed the directions here and it worked great (you may need to adjust cooking […]
Bloody Mary Green Bean Salad
Pickled Okra? Bloody Mary Mix? What more could you ask for in a salad? This fresh, acidic salad makes an amazing match for BBQ, pork butt, brisket, anything smoky with BBQ sauce. The dressing is a little spicy, a little tangy, just like a Bloody Mary. I first had this dish at a family dinner over the […]
Fluffy Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Waffles
There are tons of gluten-free waffle recipes out there to try. This one comes from the website of Bob’s Red Mill, vendor of many gluten-free flour products: Fluffy Gluten Free Waffles. My only adaptation to the recipe was to use unsweetened almond milk instead of cow’s milk to make these dairy free. That tweak didn’t seem […]
Bacon in the Oven
My new favorite way to cook bacon is in the oven. It’s quick, low-maintenance and the bacon cooks easily. Also, it doesn’t splatter your stovetop with grease or inundate your house with bacon smell (ok, maybe a little). Here are the easy steps to bacon perfection: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking […]
Fresh Goat Cheese and Tomato Salad
This is about as simple as it gets for a light meal or first course. Top mixed greens with quartered grape tomatoes, crumbled goat cheese (more flavorful if you buy a log of cheese and crumble it yourself) and strips of basil. For dressing, drizzle with EVOO and a light splash of balsamic vinegar. Add […]
