Tuscan Minestrone Soup

Tuesday, February 25th, 2014

Some of the best Tuscan recipes were once simply known as peasant food in Italy.  One of my favorite Tuscan dishes when I was living in Florence, Italy was Ribollita.  Literally, the word ribollita mean re-boiled.  This recycled soup is a combination of leftover minestrone soup and stale Tuscan bread.  It is hard to re-create […]

Lemon Basil Chickpea Salad

Saturday, September 28th, 2013

I play around a lot in the kitchen.  Which involves dancing, singing and definitely creative liberty.  This is something that I am learning even more about in the Nia classes that I have been attending for the past 2 months.  I am loving it!  Personally, I have fun dancing, but don’t stay up late enough […]

Swiss Chard and Sweet Potato Savory Pie

Thursday, July 4th, 2013

I have been making this pie a LOT this summer.  For those of you who are confused by the idea of a savory pie one could also call it a dairy-free/gluten-free quiche, or a frittata with a crust.  However you name it, it is delicious and easy to make!  I was inspired by Green Kitchen […]

Vegan Egg Salad Sandwich

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

Where do I start?  Gluten-free?  Vegan? Soy Free?  Or should I just tell you that this sandwich was amazing and you have to make it really soon?! Yeah…It was so good, it is gone. For a few days now, I have been waxing nostalgically about a delicious eggless chickpea salad that I made over a […]

Udi’s Gluten Free Pizza with Arugula and Truffle Oil

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Who doesn’t love pizza?  It is festive, it brings people together, and it is delicious.  Now I totally understand if you feel like you can’t eat it for one dietary choice for another, and those of us who are gluten-free are definitely in that group.  When you go gluten-free you definitely miss pizza. The past […]

Quinoa Broccoli Salad
