Breakfast Panna Cotta (and News)
I just tried a dessert of panna cotta a few weeks ago for the first time, and absolutely fell in love. I knew I had to recreate it, because, with fruit, it would be great in our summer breakfast rotation. I’m impatient, though, and went ahead with experimenting in the dead of winter. It’s also … Read more
Party Mix
I remember my great aunt making bags of this stuff with cereal when I was little, and I could never get enough. No party happening at my house (just ask my family- I’ve been making them clean for the past week!), but still a yummy snack. I’m tired tonight, after much running around for doctors’ … Read more
Kale-stuffed Mushrooms

Large Portabella mushrooms (remove and dice stems) Kale Pine-nuts Grated cheese (I used sharp cheddar) Bacon Cream Butter Garlic Remove the stems from the mushrooms and dice. Lightly saute the mushroom caps in butter on each side, … Read more
Relish
This is a really simple recipe I threw together with miscellany from my fridge, in order to have something “fresh” on our plates. It’s also good to use up a few odd fresh veggies that you have hanging around, and works any time of year, if you are trying to eat seasonally. Relish: makes about … Read more

Pumpkin-Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is two years in the making. I’ve tried modifying several recipes to fit out diet, but none have been as good as these. I posted these last June, which were delicious, but not extremely pretty. I think this new recipe is both! Plus? PUMPKIN! These can be made ahead of time too and … Read more
Pizza-flavored Crackers
These taste similar to the little fishes with high-powered flavor Pizza-flavored Crackers: 2 cups g/f flour (I used white rice flour for this one b/c I had some on hand and don’t typically use it in baking) 3/4 tsp fine sea salt 3 Tbs tomato powder 1 Tbs spinach powder 2 Tbs nutritional yeast flakes … Read more
Veggie Burgers
Nut-free. Grain-free. Dairy-free. Bean-free. While we aren’t vegetarian, we are trying to use up lots of delicious CSA veggies before they spoil, and Goose and I really love a good veggie burger now and then for lunch. I love having things in the freezer that I can pull out and warm up on a whim, … Read more
Pesto Cream Cheese
This is hardly worth calling a “recipe,” but we wanted to remember it because it was sooooooooo good.We made this for Christmas brunch and served it with gluten-free crackers and lox. We used pesto that we’d made over the summer with basil from our garden. You might want to double the recipe- it’s that … Read more
Have Some Greens With Your Greens!
In the spirit of trying to eat more greens (and get them into my kiddos,) I have been blending greens into the dips and dressings lately too. Here is tonight’s salad (all local, organic), topped with a dressing containing mustard greens. Salad : Various lettuces (CSA) Watermelon radishes (Local, organic food delivery) Zucchini (Local, … Read more
