Chili Shrimp and Chicken with Avocado Salsa, Roasted Jalapeno and Pablano Peppers Recipes
Monday Menu Plan – September 28
Today I’m flying home from San Francisco. What an amazing experience. I can’t wait to share it with you. This week I only have a few days planned. As soon as I get home I’ll take inventory to see what the guys left behind. I’m guessing they won’t eat much of what’s in the freezer [...]
Weekend Kitchen Tip – Storing Gluten Free Flours
If you are baking with gluten free flours, store them in your refrigerator or freezer. They will stay fresh a lot longer. This is especially true if you buy a 25 pound box of almond flour. I recently did this so I could have great flour to make the recipes from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour [...]
Friday Foodie Fix – Potatoes
I love potatoes. I could eat them every day but try to keep them on a four day rotation. I seem to crave them often. On Thanksgiving my mother-in-law use to make me my very own bowl full of mashed potatoes. They were creamy with lots of butter and milk. I can’t have them any [...]
Grill Time Management
Over the years I’ve become good at cooking just about anything in any manner. I’m even not bad on the grill but I totally suck at grill time management. I only use charcoal and usually organic briquettes. We gave up using a gas grill in 1997 when it almost burned down our new house. It’s [...]
Roasted Balsamic Chicken with Figs and Onions Via Crockpot Recipe
Last week Ali and Tom from The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen posted a Balsamic Roasted Chicken with Figs and Sweet Onions. I immediately knew I was going to give this a try. It looked amazing. I don’t have a lot of time in the kitchen with soccer season and driving for hours on end. Also, [...]
Gluten Free Appetite for Awareness in Philadelphia – September 30
What an exciting event for those living gluten free. Appetite for Awareness will take place on September 30th at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. The NFCA- National Foundation for Celiac Awareness does an amazing job with these events. I love attending the one held in the Washington DC area. This event in Philadelphia is on [...]
Menu Plan Monday – September 21
This week will be a short week of cooking for me. I’m headed to the BlogHer Food Conference in San Francisco. I’m very excited to learn more about food blogging and meet some great writers of the blogs I read. I will try to post on the food in the area and if all goes [...]
Weekend Kitchen Tip – Extra Basil
Fall is here and it’s basil harvesting time! Actually you should be doing that all the summer long. The more you cut, the more it will produce for you. What do you do with your extra basil? I like to freeze the extra basil from my garden. You can also freeze the fresh basil you [...]
Friday Foodie Fix – Apples
This week’s Secret Ingredient for Friday Foodie Fix is Apples! I love apples. My favorite is the Winesap apple. I have great memories of when I was a kid and we would make our annual trip to the Orchards. We would get a whole basket full of Winesap apples. It was such an exciting event [...]
Ostrich Filet Steak with Hand Cut Oven Fries
I like a good steak and I really love a steak that not only tastes great but has a lot of bang for the buck. Ostrich meat is a wonderful healthy red meat with all of the flavor and texture of beef. It is rich in protein and high in iron yet is lower in [...]
Chicken Fricassee Master Recipe Makeover Now Gluten Free and Dairy Free
Ever since I saw the movie Julie and Julia I’ve been reading through Julia Child’s cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. There are so many wonderful classic master recipes that are delicious but, many contain gluten and dairy. Julia loves butter. There are also many recipes that are time and labor intensive and they [...]
Roasted Tomato and Basil Soup Recipe
Tomatoes seem to be an easy thing to grow. I’m getting tons from my CSA and even a few from my father-in-law’s garden. His actually tasted better. I think next year I’ll give it a try and grow some. I love the orange ones and I only received a few in my CSA. But for [...]
Menu Plan Monday – September 14
My computer is dying a slow and painful death. This is the second time I’m posting this as the first was lost. This will be a lot shorter. If anyone has recommendations for a great PC for food bloggers I’d love to hear from you. This little guy was enjoying my herb garden with his [...]
Weekend Kitchen Tip – Stock or Broth
Stock up on stock and don’t let it go to waste. Stock is a great addition to so many dishes. It’s the base of soups, sauces, gravies and adds flavor just where you need it. First let me make sure you know the difference between Broth and Stock. The main difference is that stock is [...]
Friday Foodie Fix – Red or Green Peppers
This week’s Secret Ingredient for Friday Foodie Fix is Peppers. Red or green or both. According to Wikipedia: The term “bell pepper” is the American name for some fruits of the Capsicum annuum species of plants. The misleading name “pepper” (pimiento in Spanish) was given by Christopher Columbus upon bringing the plant back to Europe. [...]
