Summer is grilling season!! Even though meat is no longer on the table (unless you count fish, but I don’t, that’s more just fish, and meat is meat… Which probably doesn’t make much sense, but whatevs), there’s plenty to grill. M and I are not really fans of the portobello. But, times change, and so…
I attribute this find to “M” yet again! He’s been great at finding new recipes for us to try, plus he’s my trusty partner in the kitchen every day. We have a nice little groove going. It’s nice to have company while cooking. He found this one in Joanne Wier’s “From Tapas to Meze” cookbook.…
Yes – MORE dill!! Yeah! I know you’re excited, too. 🙂 I actually really like dill, so I don’t mind having to make many dill flavored things. I think I might try my hand at dill pickles, too… Anyhoo, M was off having dinner with work buddies or something, so I decided to make up…
Back to the recipes!! I thought I’d never have this salad again. It made me sad. But then I got happy when I learned about “Artisan Vegan Cheese.” It was a life changer. There is cheese again!! Hallelujah!! This is her adapted recipe, posted here, for the mozzarella. A couple things: the soy yogurt does…
I follow a blog called “Cranky Fitness” – the author is pretty humorous and honest about the trials and tribulations of working out regularly. Today she posted about training your brain – maintaining a positive attitude and such. This hit home, as it’s what I need to be doing, and what the MBSR class is…
First off, I’m not that great with words. I try to express what I’m thinking and feeling, but often it comes out in only somewhat coherent phrases. So that’s why I try to stick with just recipes and quick little blurbs. But every now and then, I’ll want and try to post something with more.…
We just got back from a long weekend (5 nights) in the SF/Bay Area. We’re looking to move to someplace sunnier than Seattle (vitaminD is important!), and SF/Bay is a good spot, for many reasons. It’s sunnier (although that can be said of most places in comparison to Seattle!), it’s got a good amount of…
I used to make a version of this all the time, but with sausage instead. Here, I’ve just replaced the sausage with mushrooms. Serve it with a side salad and you’ve got a filling, easy meal. The amount below makes about 4 servings (or 6 if you don’t eat much). 8 oz gf pasta (I…
Salads, salads, salads! You want to eat them, but you don’t want them to get boring, amiright? Here’s just a few of my favorite dressings to keep things interesting. A forewarning – some of these are very vinegar forward. I prefer it this way, not just to keep the amount of oil low (or gone),…
I’ve still got a LOT of dill (and chives) from the CSA… And they keep giving me more each week… So I’ve got to come up with more ideas! This time, a nice, light summery bean salad with a dill dressing. Mega easy! 4-5 T fresh dill, chopped 1 T fresh chives, chopped 2 stalks…
Wahoo! I LOVE these little babies. They are not that widely seen – I’ve only found them in a couple stores around here (Metropolitan Market and Whole Foods). But they are amazing. I love eating them fresh – right off the stems. They have this tart and slightly sweet flavor… Mmm! I look forward to…
You know what the hardest thing about being GF/vegan? There’s not as much ready-to-eat food to buy. We used to get that Cucina Fresca fresh pasta, but can’t anymore. There’s no similar fresh or frozen substitute that is both GF and vegan. You can find GF OR vegan, but not both. <sigh> Anyway, so I…
DILL OVERLOAD!! YEAH! I found a new gf cookbook that’s got some great recipes. It’s in the “links” up top, but it’s called “Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats” by Allyson Kramer. Ok, I’ve only tried 2 of the recipes, but I’m impressed! And there’s actually not one recipe I don’t want to try, which is rare…
I love Thai food, and this is just my take on a noodles with peanut sauce dish that’s served in most restaurants. It’s a lot of prep, but a good way to use up a bunch of the veggies you have waiting in the fridge. I modify this to do just that- whatever vegetables are…
Holidays are tough. I’ve had my first birthday since the diagnosis, that was rough, but we got through it. Went to a wedding, that was tougher, but, I also got through that! Now the regular holidays – the latest being Independence Day, and this has the addition of needing to be gluten-free. Our usual tradition…
