Gnocchi with Red Pepper Sauce and Spinach

Posted in Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Pasta, Sides, Vegan, Vegetarian by Pamela

When was the last time you made Gnocchi for dinner?  I must admit we rarely cook it, somehow it fell under the radar and didn’t make it into our daily dinner rotation. It’s a nice alternative to pasta, and most brands are shelf stable so it’s right there in your pantry waiting for the opportunity… Continue reading

Minestrone Soup

Posted in Gluten Free, Sides, Soup, Vegan, Vegetarian by Pamela

This is a great soup to have in your back pocket, it’s a chameleon of a soup, honey.  Easily adaptable to whichever vegetables you have on hand.  As a template I always include onion, celery, carrot, tomato, zucchini, green beans, frozen peas.  Also beans, either canned like cannellini, or a similar dry bean that are… Continue reading

Lemon Pasta with Shrimp and Garlicky Breadcrumbs

Posted in Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Pasta, Seafood, Vegan, Vegetarian by Pamela

Years ago, when my husband and I took our very first trip to Italy we learned a tip about shellfish and cheese.  We were staying in a little pensione on the Adriatic with a restaurant on the main floor that faced the ocean, so gorgeous it could have been a movie set. One night, we… Continue reading

Flatbread – Gluten Free

Posted in Appetizers, Brunch, Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian by Pamela

You know when you see recipes that look so simple but contain gluten, so you don’t even attempt them because you assume it won’t work for us gluten free?  Well, honey this is not one of those recipes! This time luck is in our favor.  This flatbread recipe produces a wonderfully chewy, crispy, savory flatbread,… Continue reading

Focaccia with Ramps or Scallions

Posted in Appetizers, Brunch, Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian by Pamela

We have all become so bored of quarantine meals.  It was time to make something DIFFERENT for dinner today. We were feeling indifferent with the steady staple of 1) some protein from the freezer or tofu, 2) a vegetable that has been resting in our cold garage that hopefully is not moldy yet.  3) gnocchi/rice/potato… Continue reading

Butternut Squash and Leek Soup

Posted in Brunch, Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Soup, Vegan, Vegetarian by Pamela

When my daughter was younger she just didn’t like pureed soups.  I could never figure out why?  As she grew older, and more articulate, she informed me that she didn’t like pureed soup because every spoonful feels and tastes the same. Huh, who knew.   To get around that dilemma, I  found a few ways… Continue reading

Shirataki Asian Noodle Salad

Posted in Gluten Free, keto, Paleo, Pasta, Salad, Sides, Vegan, Vegetarian by Pamela

Last month I enthusiastically shared my interest in Skinny Pasta, now one of my new go-to’s for a quick lunch.  As I previously told you; these noodles are virtually calorie free, carb free, no sodium, grain free, gluten free, vegan, full of fiber, oh and they come in different shapes too!  A lot of hype… Continue reading

Carrot Apple Walnut Muffins

Posted in Brunch, Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian by Pamela

Last week, while perusing Instagram, my daughter asked if I had ever made carrot cake.  Well, sure a long time ago B.C. (before Celiac’s) I did.  Back then I could bake just about anything with success, regular flour is… predictable.  Gluten free, well not so much. I love carrot cake, it’s a great way to… Continue reading

Pasta with Eggplant and Roasted Tomatoes

Posted in Gluten Free, Pasta, Vegan, Vegetarian by Pamela

I wonder how many people eat eggplant on a regular basis?  It doesn’t seem to fall into our weekly dinner rotation as, say, broccoli or green beans. We like it, we do!  It’s not even that exotic or hard to find, we just forget about it perhaps. And then you cook some and remark “why… Continue reading

Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread

Posted in Dessert, Gluten Free, Vegan by Pamela

I first heard the word “Vegan”  about 30 years ago, back then I thought if you were a vegan you lived off of alfalfa sprouts, avocado and brown rice.  And, the baked goods they consumed certainly contained carob. Things have changed hugely in the kitchen since then.  Baking vegan solves a lot of food allergy issues… Continue reading
