Cold Sesame Noodles

Yesterday I was good and planned ahead.  I made this recipe for cold sesame noodles in preparation for my work day lunches this week.  This is the first time I’ve made this dish in ages and I’m not sure why.  Sometimes we simply forget out old time favorites.  Today’s recipe is both gluten-free and vegan.

Grilled Acorn Squash

It’s a sunny day and I can use my grill!  All  is good!  Yesterday I used the butternut squash that’s been sitting on my counter and today I’m grilling the acorn squash.  I love produce that can sit on the counter for some time without spoiling.  I have the tendency to purchase beautiful produce and not [ READ MORE ]

Good bye Gluten-Free!

My 4 week gluten-free trial is over and I have mixed feelings about it.  Before I get into that I must say that my breakfast today will be a celebratory New York Style (which means real) bagel from a local bagel store.  Yum!!  One of the hardest things about leaving NY was giving up great [ READ MORE ]

Grilled Veggies and Pasta

This evening I was craving baked pasta but the last thing I wanted to do is turn on my oven.  With the heat index Central Florida is close to 105 degrees.  In reality the temperature is in the mid 90′s.  From what I understand much of the country is feeling the summer heat as bad [ READ MORE ]

Cool Cantaloupe Soup

Aren’t these demitasse cups adorable?  They were my grandmother’s and I just love them.  Being I’m not a coffee drinker I usually don’t have any use for them.  I’m also a bit afraid of damaging them so usually they’re just on display behind glass.  While making today’s cool soup I thought the cups would be [ READ MORE ]

Gluten Free Macaroni & Cheese

Wait!  Don’t go anywhere…  This is a recipe for anyone, I promise.  The only difference between this and a traditional mac & cheese is the rice flour and pasta.  Just make this recipe using white flour and semolina past and you’ll love it.  Today’s version is my re creation of a pretty typical version. My [ READ MORE ]

Low Fat Banana Pudding

I am quite disappointed with myself.  I almost made it to the 3 week mark of being gluten-free with no mishaps.  Yesterday I accidentally screwed it up.  I guess that’s better than all the times I knowingly sabotage my good intentions.  I bought my husband some Klondike 100 calorie ice cream sandwiches and I ate [ READ MORE ]

Vegan Marshmallows

Does anyone else miss the sticky gooyness of marshmallows in the summertime?  I grew up both camping with my family and as a girl scout where treats made with marshmallows usually cooked over a campfire were a big treat.  Normally I don’t like overly sweet foods but there’s something about both s’mores and banana boats [ READ MORE ]

Italian Tofu Scramble

I had been thinking about making a tofu scramble for a long time.  Yesterday I realized I had a 1/2 block of tofu that’s been sitting in my fridge for a couple of days.  It was definitely time to do something with it.  Tofu scramble for breakfast seemed to be just the thing. Quite honestly [ READ MORE ]

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

I should call these peanut/almond butter cookies but that’s just too long of a title.  I have been gluten-free for about 2 weeks now and am quite proud of my perseverance. However, cookies are a favorite food group of  mine and I am missing them from my life. My intention is not to turn this [ READ MORE ]

Fried Plantains with Cilantro Pesto

Did you know that cilantro has some really great health benefits?  I didn’t know just how healthy it is until this morning.  It is rich in phytonutrients and flavonoids.  It’s also very high in vitamin A and lutein.  Cilantro has some excellent health benefits which include: Powerful anti-inflammatory capacities that may help symptoms of arthritis [ READ MORE ]

Grilled Eggplant Parmesan

When speaking to my son yesterday he mentioned that he is enjoying cooking at the various hostels he’s been staying in while travelling through Europe.  I’m not surprised since he earned the funds for this trip by working in a pizzeria.  He’s actually a very good cook but we rarely get to taste his food [ READ MORE ]

Fruity Fried Rice

This week I seem to be on a kick of non traditional breakfast foods.  This is nothing new, however on most days I resolve this issue by drinking a smoothie to start my day.  Yesterday I cooked some plain white rice for little Rocki, who by the way is doing much better.  Today I had [ READ MORE ]

Pasta with Butternut Squash Sauce

I really planned not to eat any dinner tonight.  My friends and I met for lunch and I ate plenty between appetizers and my meal.  However, I still need food for the week thanks to my crazy work schedule.  I made this recipe with dairy products about a month ago and decided that I would [ READ MORE ]
