turnip and carrots

published last year, mid-January

Raise your hand if you’re a wee bit intimidated by turnips? I totally hear you: they are not really considered a mainstream vegetable. I mean, could anyone even name a half-dozen recipes including them off the top of their head?  My only association with turnip  comes directly from my mom:  this little gem of a [...]

healthy no-mayo slaw with greens

published 2 years ago, mid-July

It’s been a nutty couple of months: plain and simple. It’s sort of crazy to look back and reflect upon the intensity of it, really. In April, my dad lost his younger brother. That was hard. He was the coolest. He lost his battle with cancer but I will never forget his broad smile, his [...]

My daughter has been reacting to tomatoes lately. Within minutes of eating them her face becomes flushed with red silver-dollar sized circles – almost as if someone has applied blush to her barely 4 year old cheeks.  Strangely enough it’s not an effect produced by canned tomatoes (which can sometimes cause a reaction for some people) but fresh tomatoes.

This recipe is my submission for August’s Go Ahead Honey it’s Gluten Free blogging event hosted this month by Kim over at The Food Allergy Coach.  Her summer appropriate theme is Chill Out! meaning “no cook dishes” or ones that are “best served cold”. Perfect for when the weather is simply too hot to even [...]

braised brussels sprouts

published 5 years ago, mid-December

I don’t know about you but I absolutely love brussels sprouts. In years past, I never truly appreciated them until I had the opportunity to eat freshly picked local sprouts. Because they are most often grown in warmer climates and shipped across the country, they consistently  taste bland. They are most tender and sweet after a hard frost (i.e., grown in climates with seasonal [...]

slow roasted yellow carrots

published 5 years ago, mid-August

I picked up these carrots at the market this morning. One word: unreal. They are so tender and delicious. I wish I had bought more. The recipe may sound really basic - and it is. It is summer at its best. Easy, fast and delicious. I would caution the use of olive oil at a temperature above 325 degrees. [...]
