This is something I recall my mom making throughout my childhood. It was her mom’s recipe. I’d somehow forgotten about this little gem of a dish until I came across the recipe in Novembers Cooks Country magazine. I stopped and reflected for a moment - could this recipe be refabbed (yes, I invented that word) gluten and casein free? I made this a [...]
It is November, and the past 2 days have been 70 degrees in Colorado. Contrary to popular belief, it is typical for us to have mild temperatures during the winter months. At over 5000 feet in elevation, being closer to the sun warms us up quite nicely. And snow doesn’t hang around long. Last night we [...]
Back in the old days, I would frequently eat this fantastic bulgur wheat dish (that I stumbled across in a Food & Wine issue years ago). I was thinking the other day - in one of my “I really miss that” moments that I could use some kasha and tweak the ingredients a little bit. I was [...]

Instead of the typical sandwich, I used some Napa Cabbage to cradle the salad. This particular variety of cabbage is very mild in comparison to its cousins - which suits this dish [...]

I thought of adding shredded apple or carrot. But, in the end I decided to stay the course and used sweet potato [...]
My mom used to make stuffed peppers all the time. I remember them fondly. I recall that her version was always vegetarian - and they always tasted so good. I decided to change it up a little bit and use ground lamb. I rarely eat meat, but my husband and my daughter love it. This was so delicious, [...]
I used to indulge in eating the carrot ginger soup they sell at Whole Foods. Sadly, soups are notorious for having gluten in them. It’s used as a thickener. Today was the first real autumn-like day in Colorado. It was crisp –chilly enough that I had to put on a warm sweater. I find it so interesting that my body [...]
