Sesame Street Shindig

April 19, 2010 in Appetizers, Desserts, Gluten Free, Healthy Fare, Side Dishes, Vegan Recipes

We must interrupt our regularly scheduled Meatless Monday offering to share with you our weekend collaboration: The second birthday of Lily! Lily (Anne’s daughter and Donna’s granddaughter) has become an ardent fan of Elmo, also known in this household as The Red Menace, and we decided to thrill her with a Sesame-themed party – our favorite part being, of course, the food! We worked with quite a few food blog recipes to make the theme food, and have to share the love here.  Read the rest of this entry →

Green Cabbage with Cucumber and Caraway

March 3, 2010 in Gluten Free, Healthy Fare, Side Dishes, Vegan Recipes

I received this entreaty from reader and friend Danielle:

I went hunting on fab frugal for cabbage recipes. At 59 cents per pound green cabbage is the cheapest produce going at the grocery store and yet nothing on the site? What’s up with that? I already know how to do red- so don’t re-direct me there. I am still suffering post traumatic stress from Cabbage and Potatoes with Polish Sausage Night when I was a kid. So- no boiling, please! Any ideas?

Danielle makes a fine point, as we do have a lovely braised RED cabbage recipe but nothing green. Cabbage really is a fantastic frugal produce choice, as well as being chock full o’ vitamins, fiber and important minerals. Read the rest of this entry →

Mardi Gras Season Begins! Gluten Free Gumbo Recipe

February 16, 2010 in Entrees, Gluten Free

I am a Rocky Mountain girl, so have never ventured much into Cajun cuisine. But, what the heck – it’s Fat Tuesday, the first day of Mardi Gras! I decided to look to one of my favorite chef/food megastars, John Besh, for inspiration and a basic know-how and I set out to make gumbo for the first time in my life. In honor of the festive season, I bought myself a cookbook. (( Isn’t this what all foodies do to celebrate?))  Anyway, if you haven’t seen it – check out this work-of-art cookbook/journal of cajun culture and cuisine: “My New Orleans: The Cookbook.” I couldn’t put it down and read it just like a lonely housewife reading a romance novel! Highly recommend it for your Mardi Gras splurge! I followed Chef Besh’s methods but changed the ingredients up a bit.

Fall Flavor Fest: Moroccan Stuffed Acorn Squash

November 18, 2009 in Gluten Free, Healthy Fare, Vegan Recipes, Vegetarian Entrees

I literally bought some pomegranates on impulse the other day as I was stocking up on squash from the glorious display at Wegman’s. I had no specific plans for them, but decided I wanted to experiment with adding them into a savory dish – preferably one involving one of the squashes I just procured (I’m gripped by something of a fixation at the moment).

As it turns out, they’re a wonderful accompaniment in this stuffed squash recipe, like juicy little jewels, adding tart little bursts of flavor that pairs nicely with the mellow, sweet spice of the stuffing. Read the rest of this entry →
