Posted on August 9, 2011
There’s nothing like a refreshing salad on a hot summer’s day; this gluten free Arugula Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette hits the spot. Finding gluten free salad is easy (arugula and raspberries don’t contain gluten). Finding gluten free salad dressing is another story altogether. Gluten lurks in the strangest places. And salad dressing can contain various

Spicy Slaw
Posted on July 26, 2010
I’m slightly obsessed with coleslaw these days, especially any coleslaw made with purple cabbage which I find to be delectably sweet and crunchy. I’m always craving a good crunch in my food. I like to serve this spicy slaw with my Turkey Burgers from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook or my Grilled Chipotle Orange Chicken.

Cucumber Salad
Posted on June 25, 2010
The name of this cucumber salad really could be Bubby’s Cucumber Salad. I learned to make it from my father’s mother, an immigrant to this country, and an amazing woman. She helped my Dad’s father run their butcher shop and was quite the business woman from what I can gather.
Raw Kale Shiitake Salad
Posted on June 30, 2009
The other night I went to a fabulous event in Boulder hosted by Bauman College. During this evening one of the graduates from Bauman’s chef program did a great cooking demo for a raw kale salad with shiitake mushrooms (it had a number of other ingredients as well). The next day, I was determined to

My children love to have fruit salad as an after school snack. I often serve it to them with organic yogurt, adding a bit of vanilla and to the yogurt. It’s just about fruit season here in Colorado and everything is starting to look luscious. We have strawberries ripening on the plants in the front

No Potato Salad
Posted on May 11, 2009
This healthier gluten free potato salad is perfect for picnics and barbecues. Replacing potato with cauliflower is a trick that I learned from the “low-carbers.” And it is a good one! In the winter, I often make mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes. Now, in spring, it is wonderful to have this no potato

Orange Arugula Salad
Posted on April 24, 2009
This delicious salad is full of a variety of flavors. The arugula is a buttery, bitter green and the oranges are sweet, sour and tangy. Spiking dinner salads with fruit is a a great trick when it comes to getting children enthused about eating their greens. Works pretty well on green-phobic adults as well. My

Cabbage Orange Salad
Posted on January 2, 2009
Unfortunately, the incoming Obama administration has potentially failed those of us that want to see a food revolution. Tom Vilsack, Governor of Iowa (and a good friend of multinational food corporations such as Monsanto) has been nominated Secretary of Agriculture. Rather than the promised change, we are facing more of the same. This is a

Jicama, Beet and Carrot Salad
Posted on August 12, 2008
Don’t try this at home! I highly recommend keeping the animals far away from the food. My little bunny lives in our house –he roams the family room and kitchen and he thinks he’s a dog. He kept me company today during hours of culinary exploration. As I chopped mountains of vegetables, every now and

The boys were buzzed this afternoon –their hair that is. Now the little baldies will be nice and cool in the warm weather. It hasn’t been all that hot though lately. In fact, we’ve had many cloudy afternoons and so far this summer haven’t made it to the pool yet. I have a feeling that
