Carrot French Fries
Posted on October 18, 2010
My boys love these carrot fries hot out of the oven. I like baking them as it eliminates the messy splattering that results from the typical preparation of French fries –frying. Speaking of messes, I feel like I’m cleaning up a lot of them these days. Writing a book this summer really threw me for

This healthy and simple Grilled Broccoli recipe was inspired by a comment Kristi left on my Grilled Chipotle Orange Chicken post way back when: Elana, you mentioned you like to serve this yummy chicken with grilled broccoli.

This recipe for Grilled Zucchini is one of my favorites for several reasons. First, it’s a good way to use up the prolific zucchini of August. Second, it’s mighty easy to make. And third, it’s delicious. Let’s not forget reason number four though –zucchini and summer squash are a healthy side dish for any meal.

Broccoli Rabe with Garlic
Posted on July 19, 2010
I confess, I have an addiction to broccoli rabe. I love the bitter flavor of this delicious green vegetable. I have always believed that bitter is such an important, yet under rated flavor in our culture. I think a lot of people drink coffee for the bitter flavor that we all need so badly. My

Squash Fries
Posted on December 12, 2008
The other day, I noticed that I had 2 butternut squash sitting in my kitchen, waiting to be cooked. The first I turned into butternut squash soup. I wanted to be a bit more creative with the second one, so I figured I’d make fries out of them. The boys must have eaten an entire

Raw Apple Sauce
Posted on July 29, 2008
I love apple sauce in any weather. The thought of turning on the oven to make some right now? Or lighting up the stove? In this heat? Not a good one. What to do? Make raw apple sauce. It’s tart, tangy, refreshing and delicious. On top of that, “uncooking” cuts back on energy consumption. It

Gluten-Free Girl recently announced she is with child. Out here in Colorado, I have big news as well. Our pet house-bunny was neutered today. After humping every stuffed animal and slipper in the house, we took him to the vet only to discover that contrary to what the Humane Society had told us when we

Chestnuts with Brussel Sprouts
Posted on November 20, 2007
In the process of creating this recipe I cooked chestnuts in a variety of ways. I report here: do not bother with the boiling method. This manner of preparation entails the painstaking prying of many little nuts from their shells. During that process I felt like a squirrel –with a knife. My favorite way, providing
