As some of you may know, this is one of my favorite recipes; gluten-free crustless quiche. It’s so easy and so many people like it from children to grown-ups. Last week, I grabbed a zucchini from my garden (yes, my garden!), sliced it up, halved the recipe and about 40 minutes later, had a nice, […]

Gnocchi Recipe
Homemade Gnocchi I can still remember my Aunt Vincenzina making gnocchi at our house when she was visiting from Rome. I was only 10 yrs old but can visualize the rolling, cutting and flour, everywhere. I some times forget how much I like them. This weekend, I decided I needed a fix and was motivated. […]
Lunch is served-Chard and Quinoa Salad
As I was about to eat lunch, I had to stop and take a picture. Although I might still succumb to my processed cheese craving every once in a while, I couldn’t believe this is what I was eating; chard and quinoa salad, gluten free bread with white bean dip and arugula, and organic strawberries. […]
Oats are the Secret to Gluten Free Italian Meatballs
I never thought I could do this without using gluten free bread but it occurred to me one day that I had made my lentil loaf with ground oats as the binder. Hello. Why not try that in a meatball? Not only is it gluten free but by using the oats, you boost the nutrition. […]
Weeknight Tomato Sauce
I ate a lot of tomato sauce growing up (although I didn’t like it until I was 5 yrs old). It was a staple in our diet. Some times even I think it’s hard to make or I’m maybe not in the mood. But when I taste fresh sauce, I wonder why I would eat […]
Sauteed Chard with Parmesan Cream Sauce and Pasta
I went to our local farmer’s market last week and was just…inspired. You might remember me writing about how farmer’s markets used to be somewhat intimidating to me. I just didn’t know what to do. This week, I walked around, stopping here and there and getting this and that. The children were with me, which […]
Why Gluten Free?
I recently (12 days to be exact) decided to try a gluten free diet. I teach gluten free classes. I cooked gluten free for my daughter for a year. There are people who don’t have a choice, like those who have celiac disease. Some people have been told by their doctor to cut out gluten […]
Homemade Granola-Regular or Gluten Free
Granola with Strawberries and Vanilla Yogurt Granola can be very expensive. Have you ever wondered how to make it? It’s quite easy. You need the right ingredients, a big bowl and a rimmed sheet pan. That’s it. Oh, I suppose a good recipe helps, too. Granola is a great snack. It can be used with […]
Time to Try Pad Thai
Shrimp and Tofu Pad Thai Think your family won’t eat Thai food? Have you tried Pad Thai? It’s basically noodles in a sweet sauce. At some point, we realized our kids liked it when they tried it in a restaurant. They are not crazy about cilantro but they love the rest. Hmm, sauteed shrimp […]
Weeknight Meals-BBQ Chicken Tenders
I recently attended the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco. When I used to go to the Food Show in NYC back in college, I remembered it being about how many samples we could find and gadgets we could leave with. This time, I went looking for products that I like to term “my kid […]
