Lamb, Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Tagine Recipe — Gluten Free, Paleo, Allergy Friendly Moroccan Spiced Lamb Stew
Every once in a while I buy lamb, and when I do, I think back to one of the first times I made lamb that was so finger licking good I couldn’t stop eating it straight out of the pot. It was a tagine, a Moroccan stew, typically slow cooked in a special clay pot […]
Best Kid-Friendly Air Fryer Recipes: Delicious and Healthy Meals
Air fryers are all the rage these days, and its not hard to see why. They are very versatile and easy to use, and since they get the texture of frying without the oil, they are healthier as well. But as a parent of kids, it can be even more tempting. Because there is no […]
Laksa Inspired Curried Southeast Asian Fish Recipe — Gluten Free, Allergy Friendly
I had some fish fillets in my freezer that I wanted to make for supper, but I struggle finding recipes for white fish that I find are flavorful enough and not just bland and palatable but not specifically appealing. Trying to get inspiration, I saw some lemongrass in my freezer and got the idea to […]
Homemade Copycat Peach Fuze Tea Recipe – Easy DIY Iced Tea
A bunch of years ago, I shared my recipe for my homemade version of Lipton’s lemon iced tea I grew up with. It is great and refreshing, but, to be honest, I didn’t remember to make it for a long time. Lately, my kids have been really obsessed with Peach flavor Fuze Tea and I knew […]
Fresh and Easy Mango Salsa Recipe — Gluten Free, Paleo, Allergy Friendly, and Frugal
I wrote in my recent post that I really, really, really love mangos. I don’t think I ever tasted something with mango I didn’t like. When my sister Violet was younger, she hated mangoes, and I never understood it, didn’t understand what there was to even dislike about this luscious fruit. She eventually “came to […]
Grilled Pineapple Cilantro Chicken Recipe — Gluten Free, Allergy Friendly, and Delicious
I love mango season. (What does this have to do with a pineapple chicken recipe, you ask? Read on.) Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits, along with sweet crunchy grapes, blueberries, and juicy and sweet peaches (summer is one of my favorite times culinarily, if you can imagine) and I wait for the prices […]
Cheater Chicken Pot Pie Recipe- Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Easy
I’m a little bit obsessed with this recipe. I make chicken frequently enough but I invariably end up with leftovers. While I will eat the leftover chicken as is, depending on how much I have left over, I can get bored with eating it plain, and chicken pot pie is by far the easiest way […]
Lemon Butter Tilapia Recipe — Gluten Free and Easy
Yes, I know, it’s super pale. But I promise you, it has more flavor than many other colorfully seasoned fish dishes. One of the cheapest animal proteins we have available locally is a type of tilapia called blue tilapia. And while it doesn’t taste offensive at all, I find it just tastes very blah. I’ll eat it […]
Homemade Sweet and Sour Pickles Recipe- Water Bath Canned and Refrigerator Pickles Method
My family and I love pickles. And for me, they’re medicine of sorts, since I need to have a lot of salt (and on days that I don’t manage to make my sports drink, I try to have pickles to supply me with salt). I was buying cans of pickles because I didn’t plan ahead. […]
How to Repurpose Leftover and/Or Imperfect Rice
In general I’m not a picky eater. I am willing to eat most foods, no matter how weird… but one of those few foods I’m actually picky about is rice. It needs to be made perfectly or I really can’t tolerate eating it. Of course, rice happens to be one of those foods that even […]
