Using a Pot of Beans Part II: Almost-Instant Vegetable Bean Soup
This is a variation on a recipe from Jacques Pepin’s fabulous cookbook Fast Food My Way. If you like the idea of easy, fast, flavor-packed, healthy dinner ideas – yes, it delivers all of those things – I can’t recommend the book highly enough. As the name implies, this light-yet-filling soup is on the table…
Easy Deliciousness: Polenta
Whenever I make polenta for guests they say, “You made polenta?” I almost hate to diminish the impact by revealing how ridiculously easy it is to make, but in the name of deliciousness, here goes. The real trick to perfect polenta is to use fresh cornmeal. I buy the widely available Bob’s Redmil Corn Grits…
Broccoli Tofu Stir-Fry
I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly magazine. As lovely as lighter fare was sounding then, it is even truer now – right? No worries, this dish still packs a big flavor punch. Feeling weighed down by holiday treats? Yeah. With several days of delicious indulgence to go, I…
Even More In Progress…
Ooh, here’s another quick crowd-pleaser from the lovely blog Jenn Cuisine: Pan-Roasted Almonds with Thyme & Truffle Oil. They take mere minutes to make and whoamygoodness, they are insanely delicious. I’m putting these away now so there are at least a few left for my guests. Yikes. The skaters arrived! And both sauces are now…
More In Progress…
If you’re scrambling today, wishing you’d made Christmas cookies, I offer this fast and delicious chocolate almond coconut bark. It takes 10 minutes to prepare! And just try to keep your hands off of it. If you hate coconut, or almonds, substitute crushed toffee, or peanuts, or whatever you do like – this bark is…
Chile Con Queso
OK, con queso addicts, it’s time for treatment. This here’s a real-deal, spicy-melty, creamy-dreamy chili con queso made without 1) gluten, or 2) processed cheese. And oh, it’s easy and foolproof too. Get out your tortilla chips, it’s a helluva dip. This recipe hails from one of the most delicious blogs on the planet, aka…
Almond Flour (Gluten-Free) Pancakes and a Giveaway
This is a recipe from the excellent blog Elana’s Pantry. Since giving up gluten, I’ve been mining her extensive recipe database, feeling inspired and thrilled. Elana is an expert at baking with almond flour, a delicious and nutritious substitute for wheat flour (unlike other gluten-free flour concoctions, which are fine once in awhile, but are…
Poached Eggs Over Celery Root Latkes
Back at you with more eggs… John and I love a good brunch, especially with a glass of champagne. Perhaps it should be, but the Saturday after a holiday is no exception. Remember Poached Eggs over Potato-Green Pepper Pancakes from this summer? Well, this recipe is a lower carbohydrate – but every bit as delicious…
Hint-of-Sweet Pumpkin Custard
As I’ve mentioned, I’m trying to eat as little sugar as possible. So far, so good, although I absolutely love pumpkin pie and didn’t want to miss out this holiday season. Since pumpkin itself is quite nutritious, I decided to experiment with a classic, cream-based pumpkin filling (the best kind, in my opinion) and see…
Beatty’s Chocolate Cake
Behold, the first cake I’ve baked since giving up gluten. I baked it for John’s office’s annual United Way bake sale – which I contribute to every year – so it’s not like I was going to eat it anyhow (and therefore couldn’t cut into it for pics, sorry). But not eating it because it’s…
