Easy Cheesy Veggie Salsa Mac

Around this time of year the abundance of vegetables can nearly seem overwhelming. Even if you don't have a vegetable garden, the low prices on some produce can be so tempting, that it's easy to over buy. One day last week, I'd plucked a couple carrots and a Japanese eggplant from my not so stellar veggie garden, and teamed them up with some summer squash I'd bought a couple days earlier. I stood there pondering what to do with this motley assemblage. An Asian dish seemed the obvious Continue Reading

Apple Galette with Oatmeal Crust Recipe

This Apple Galette with Oatmeal Crust is actually a recipe from last fall, that I never got around to posting. I remember being swamped with assignments at the time, so this went by the wayside & once I had time to edit and post it was not really the season for it anymore. As some of the fall seasonal produce will become abundant soon, now seemed a fine time to publish this apple galette. I've featured the Granny Smith apple in this easy galette recipe. It's the most common one for me Continue Reading

Biscoff Banana Swirl Sweet Rolls Recipe

These Biscoff Sweet Rolls with Banana are sweet treat worth scratch baking. The dessert rolls are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch! My initial thought when trying biscoff spread was how yummy it would be in a cinnamon roll/bun type of dessert, so I revisited that thought and made a batch of Biscoff Banana Swirl Rolls. They were indeed quite yummy, hence I'm eating salad today...lol. For the sweet roll dough, I turned to my 1963 edition of the McCall's Cook Book, a yard sale Continue Reading

Kale, Sweet Potato & Feta Frittata Recipe

I had this Kale, Sweet Potato and Feta Frittata for breakfast, after this morning's chores. Lil' Foodie is doing ESY (extended school year) on Tuesdays & Thursdays this summer, to help keep her in the grove and give her some time with other kids in an environment that accommodates her special needs. Neither of us were particularly well prepared this morning. I was just pulling bean crackers out of the oven for her lunch about 20 minutes before the bus was due to arrive & as you can Continue Reading

Turkey Meatballs in Sun-dried Tomato Almond Buttermilk Sauce

To even see a turkey meatball recipe here is next thing to a miracle. You see, until recently, I had such an aversion to any sort of ground meat I simply never bought any. Last winter, I reviewed a meal service called Hello Fresh, that sends you the ingredients for meals along with the recipe cards. When I saw ground turkey in the box, I wrinkle up my nose in distaste, but later resolved to suck-it-up and make the recipe (I even adhered strictly to the directions, a miracle of monumental Continue Reading

Paleo-Vegan Maple Walnut Ice Cream

Why I am so fascinated with recipes that fit both of these restrictive diets is beyond me. Perhaps, it is the challenge of combining vegan and paleo. In this case, the dual dietary compliance was more happenstance than plan. Maple Walnut Ice Cream is a staple flavor here in Rhode Island. It seemed a natural choice to convert into a paleo recipe since maple syrup is one of the few sweeteners many Paleo followers will indulge in & nuts are acceptable. Swapping the heavy cream for Continue Reading
