Last night, I had slim pickings for  dinner ingredients. I threw together some of the remaining items in my fridge along with some leftover salmon and made this wonderful quiche. My children had seconds and thirds. And this morning, I had a little piece on toast for brunch. It was so delicious. The dill  adds a delightful [...]

This past weekend, I made these noodles. Our Memorial Day weekend was very nice but it was rainy and the weather was rather cool – the entire weekend. It’s supposed to warm up quite nicely this week so this was  probably the last time we’ll have a dish with ginger in it until the weather turns [...]

egg salad

published 2 years ago, at the start of November

Today, I made some hard boiled eggs for my children. They love them. All of a sudden, egg salad  just sounded really good to me for lunch.

This afternoon, I whipped up a batch of pesto, tossed it with some pasta and served alongside a salad it proved to be a satisfying and delicious dinner.  There seems to be a slight division in [...]

bagel with lox and lemon dill spread

published 2 years ago, at the end of August

This morning, I woke up and had a hankering for a bagel with cream cheese. Choosing not to be sad about the fact that dairy (cream cheese) tends to be  out of the question for most celiacs, I broke out some of louise’s lemon dill dip, spread it on a toasted bagel and then topped [...]

chicken salad

published 2 years ago, mid-August

I picked up these amazing grapes the other day: champagne grapes. I have never seen organic ones. So, I was fired up to find these. For those of you who have never seen them, they are very, very small-miniature size grapes. And they are round instead of oval. Absolutely lovely. Of course, one of the [...]
