Dish Assembly: Brown rice, Wilted greens and Salmon topped with Cilantro pesto. During a cleanse I did this summer, I was craving something yummy. There was a recipe for salmon in the book but I wanted to make a variation. I was amazed at how satisfying and filling this dish was. I hope you will […]
Gluten Free Maui Banana Bread recipe
When you go to Hawaii, more specifically Maui, it seems like there’s a checklist of what most people do or see like snorkeling, going to Haleakala, seeing a rainbow (maybe even a double!), attending a luau, and driving the road to Hana which includes consuming the famous banana bread from any one of a number […]
Gluten-Free Zucchini Pancakes recipe
I bought some lovely zucchini at the farmer’s market last week and somehow managed to…well, forget about them. I opened the veggie drawer today, looking at the 4 pieces with guilt, and decided something had to be done. I settled on zucchini muffins (I used my gluten-free carrot muffin recipe but substituted zucchini for carrots). […]
Gluten-Free Homemade Ranch Dip or Dressing recipe
I was sitting at the table, reviewing one of my recipes which had not been tested yet for my cookbook. Ranch dressing is one of those items you would assume would be gluten-free until you look at the label. Then you also might see all of the other ingredients that aren’t so appealing. My kids […]
The meaning of LYFE (kitchen), opening in Palo Alto later this summer
LYFE Kitchen’s “Fork Lifting” event to celebrate the upcoming opening of it’s first restaurant in Palo Alto, CA When a restaurant or brand describes their food as great-tasting that is also convenient, affordable and good for you, they have my attention. Well, they had it a great-tasting! I was invited to this event in June […]
Gluten-free crepe recipe
Sometimes I can be intimidated to cook certain foods, especially new gluten-free dishes. For some reason, I had thought crepes would be similar to going into the chem lab. I’m happy to report it can be made just as easily as regular ones! But, my theory behind knowing how to cook, regardless of whether it’s […]
How to make a quick and healthy dinner
Don’t think you have to always use a recipe; just cook! I normally don’t post the “what I had for dinner” photo on my blog; I generally save that for Facebook. Today, when I went to the grocery store, I was inspired by the produce. I didn’t really have a plan; I just put it […]
Gluten-free Lentil Loaf recipe
Often I get an email from my cousin that reads “Do you have a recipe for …”. A few years ago, he was looking for a lentil loaf recipe. I didn’t have one but looked at 2-3 different recipes to get some ideas and created this one, adding the rice and using oats instead of […]
KitchenAid Kitchen Makeover
click here to enter Are you interested in some new equipment for your kitchen? I sure am! What’s funny is that where I live, in Northern California, I am more excited about a slow cooker right now than an ice cream maker; it’s foggy, misty and about 55 degrees. My friends at Red Tricycle have […]
Udi’s new hamburger and hot dog buns are perfect for summer
Wait, is that a hamburger roll that doesn’t crumble? What a treat! One advantage to a gluten-free diet is skipping the bread; I find I’m not as full otherwise. I often ask for a plain hot dog or hamburger whether I’m at the ball game, a bbq or restaurant. My kids and I have gotten […]
