With white wine, garlic, and capers, I think the pan sauce is what makes lemony chicken piccata so flavorful. Fortunately, it’s easy to make this dish both gluten-free and dairy-free while retaining the great taste of the original dish. Here’s the recipe I’ve adapted from years of just making this to making it with no wheat […]

Citrus Salad with Prosecco
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, […]
Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
This recipe makes a great dinner. Lighter than regular pasta carbonara, but flavorful and satisfying with the pancetta (I used prosciutto), cheese and egg. Spaghetti squash is a wonderful substitute for pasta in many Italian-style recipes. This can easily be made dairy free by omitting the cheese, or if like me, you need to avoid […]
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 […]
Mac and Cheese: Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free Edition
Sometimes there’s a need for a big bowl of cheesy goodness, but without gluten or lactose. You’ve come to the right place. This doesn’t take long. Barely longer than making boxed mac and cheese. Maybe there’s one out there, but I haven’t seen a boxed version that is both gluten free and dairy free or lactose […]
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 […]
