Gefilte Fish
Posted on March 23, 2011
This recipe is based on one by Ellyn Goodrich at epicurious.com, called “Alaskan Halibut and Salmon Gefilte Fish Terrine.” While Goodrich’s recipe makes a gefilte fish “loaf,” mine is for traditional (yet gluten free) gefilte fish balls (like my Bubby made) only with more vegetables, so that they are a bit lighter and healthier than

Posted on July 17, 2009
This may be one of the worst food photos I’ve ever taken, however, this gluten free, grain free chicken and ”rice” dish is packed with protein and spicy Mexican flavor. It’s not so easy to take pictures of brown stuff; I could say more, however, I won’t go on; let’s just leave it at that. Since

Posted on January 30, 2009
The other night while I was tucking in my super snuggly 10 year old into bed, we discussed possibilities for the next night’s dinner. “Fennel” he suggested, “I really like it because it’s sweet and also very healthy!” “What would you like for our protein dish?” I asked. “What about that roasted chicken I made
