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

Zucchini Corn Muffins

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

We picked up a few zucchini’s from the farmstand over the weekend, originally thinking of making a gratin-ish type zucchini dish, bubbly cheese, garlic etc. Instead, I whipped up a batch of yummy Zucchini Corn Muffins. That’s how versatile this vegetable is.  How many other vegetables can you think of that make a fabulous cheesy… 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

Carrot Currant Cake

Posted in Brunch, Dessert, Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Vegetarian by Pamela

It probably come as no surprise to everyone that we are having a much smaller gathering for Thanksgiving this year – just like most of the country.  We still want to make a fuss, cook way too much, and spend quality time with certain family members.  You too I bet. These circumstances happen to work… Continue reading

Plum Torte

Posted in Brunch, Dessert, Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Vegetarian by Pamela

Have you heard about this famous Plum Torte originally published by Mariam Burros in 1983 for the New York Times? It was so popular that it was published every year from 1983 to 1989, by then the editors felt it had been featured enough.  Apparently not, according to all the backlash they received, after making… Continue reading

Cornbread with Jalapenòs and Chives

Posted in Brunch, Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Sides, Vegetarian by Pamela

As the summer winds down, I usually do a mental inventory of all the seasonal foods we have cooked and enjoyed to make sure we haven’t missed out. With all the usual suspects all accounted for: tomatoes, corn, zucchini, leafy greens, and more tomatoes, I cast a larger net and discovered I had not made… Continue reading

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

Seared Gnocchi with Bacon and Vegetables

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

I know there are legions gnocchi fans out there, sadly though, I have never been one.  If given a choice for a Italian carbohydrate it would always be spaghetti for me.  With spicy tomato sauce, carbonara, aglio e olio peperoncino, or just butter and parmesan cheese, each one my favorite. However my daughter sent me… 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

Blood Orange Ricotta Cheesecake

Posted in Brunch, Dessert, Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Vegetarian by Pamela

For the last few years I have defaulted to three super easy desserts to serve at dinner parties.  If you entertain you know it’s more than enough work to come up with a menu, shop, cook a fabulous meal, and set a beautiful table.   Last year it was pears that I popped into the oven… Continue reading
