View ArticleEggplant Rollatini Reinvented
I’m not a big fan of ricotta. I never have been. There are lots of things I used to stay away from because they had ricotta, although now I’m not quite as serious about it. I still don’t eat lasagna...
View ArticleStrawberry Kale Smoothie
I love a good smoothie, and I make many varieties of this one depending on what I have in the fridge and freezer. I’m not averse to throwing in some frozen fruit, but obviously fresh is better. The...
View ArticleKale and Goat Cheese Frittata
A frittata is the Italian version of an omelette, but much more forgiving to make. They’re also great if you’re trying to feed a couple people, because you can make a big one and you don’t have to...
View ArticleTurkey Meatballs with Braised Kale and Lemon
Originally I found a recipe for gluten-free meatballs that used a yakitori technique of cooking part of the meat and then stirring it into the rest of the uncooked meat to then form balls. This was...
View ArticleStrawberry Mango Fruit Roll-ups
I’ve always been a big fan of fruit roll-ups, even though it’s somewhat embarrassing to admit. They are a guilty pleasure from when I was a kid, so when I saw how easy it was to make them at home, I...
View ArticleTuna Frittata
I admit this recipe sounds a little strange. Canned tuna combined with eggs doesn’t really sound like something I want to eat. But somehow, it becomes something much better than it’s parts. The...

I love oysters, and I think the best ones I ever had were in California at Hog Island, where we ate them right after they were pulled from the cold water. We can’t get them quite like that here in NY,...

View ArticleVanilla Yogurt Panna Cotta with Strawberry Rhubarb Compote
Panna cottas are a great dessert when you want a healthy treat but don’t want to go overboard. You can make them without using heavy cream, although they do traditionally have cream. I like to use soy...

This is a great summery pasta than can be served room temperature as a pasta salad or warm. The asparagus and pasta warms the pesto through and makes it fragrant. As it cools, the flavors permeate the...
View ArticleChickpea Flatbread with Fava Puree (G-free)
You may have noticed that I didn’t post many pasta recipes during the spring. One of the hardest things about cutting out non-whole grain carbs was foregoing bread and pasta. I developed a soft spot...
View ArticleShrimp and Fava Spring Rolls
I love these regardless of whether you call them summer rolls or spring rolls. Generally, I think of spring rolls as having a fried shell, but I’ve seen them done with the rice paper wrapper as well....
View ArticleSpicy Thai Noodles with Crab
I love Thai food, and I make many variations on this recipe with my favorite rice noodles. It’s light and perfect for summer, and I can’t wait to make it again. The tart and sweet sauce is the same as...
