Sautéed Broccoli
I truly believe this is the best way to make broccoli and the best way to convert non-broccoli eaters. Both my husband and my son love it cooked this way. There was one day a couple years ago where I thought, I don’t want to steam and I don’t want to roast. Steaming doesn’t have […]
Quiche
I hosted a small tarot reading party in my backyard with a few girlfriends and the guest of honor was vegetarian so quiche was the first idea that came to mind. It’s packed with protein, savory and delicious. It pairs great with a salad for dinner or with fruit for breakfast. My original plan was […]
Waffles
I love waffles or pancakes on a weekend morning, and my little 3 year old loves to help! This particular recipe comes from my great aunt Norma. The original recipe is of course made for regular flour but I have always made it with GF flour, even before my celiac diagnosis, because the texture is […]
Kristin’s 1234 Cupcakes
Yesterday I turned 40! It feels strange to have entered a new decade. In celebration of my birthday I had to make vanilla cupcakes with sprinkles, my absolute favorite, to share with my friends and keep in the freezer when a craving strikes. This recipe is my favorite if I have to make my own […]
Chicken Shwarma
I LOVE Mediterranean food and it’s now tricky to find mediterranean food at restaurants that is celiac safe. I created this spice rub to use on chicken thighs or chicken kebabs just like the kebabs at Lebanese restaurants. This chicken is a flavorful spiced chicken perfect for the grill and to accompany all your favorite […]
5 Minute Hummus
I love hummus–it’s hearty, healthy, contains good fats, garlic and spices. I don’t love store-bought hummus, however. I don’t like how it’s a little bit tangy and not super flavorful. I’m not a huge fan of tahini even though it’s a necessary ingredient in classic Lebanese hummus. This hummus that I throw together in 5 […]
Strawberry Crumble Bars
My aunt gave me the original recipe for these bars, I made a couple tweaks and now have these delicious, summery bars that can be made year round! Any kind of strawberry jam will work. I used Danish Orchards because it isn’t too sweet. These can be made either with fresh strawberry slices if they […]
Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie is one of my favorite English foods and one of my favorite cold weather foods. Its warm and savory….and it has gravy. Anything with gravy is delicious. It can seem like a lot of work to make a 2-step dish but this is fairly fast. I start the potatoes first and then make […]
Best Sugar Cookies
Thanks to Iowa Girl Eats, this is the hands-down best GF sugar cookie recipe for drop and cut-out cookies that I have ever tried, and it’s the only one I’ll use now. Keep in mind that GF flour can be trickier to work with than standard wheat flour. GF flour is stickier and since it […]
Lemon Braised Chicken with Olives
I LOVE braising! Braising, or cooking in liquid, ensures the meat is super moist and flavorful. For best results use a braising pan. Braising pans are generally enameled cast iron pots or pans with a heavy lid with ridges or bumps that allow the evaporated moisture to collect and drip back down into the food […]
