Today’s gluten-free Tzatziki recipe and product review is in celebration of May, Celiac Awareness Month. For anyone who is unaware, Celiac Disease is a disease that affects the digestive system. The consumption of glutens, most commonly found in wheats, ryes, and barley, aggravates the condition to such an extent that disease sufferers are required to…… Continue reading Tzatziki Recipe and a Product Review

Chick Peas and Greens Salad
First of all, hooray, I’m not dead! I apologize profusely for the lack of January (and now, at the time of finishing this, February and most of March) posts. I just realized that I could not stay away from this wonderful world of food blogging. I’m finally adjusting to the new job, though. I’m coherent…… Continue reading Chick Peas and Greens Salad
Chicken Masala
My husband and I tried Indian food for the first time last year while on vacation in Cape Cod, and this Chicken Masala recipe has been a favorite in our house ever since. If you’re curious at all about Indian food, give this recipe a try! The main flavoring used, garam masala, is a blend…… Continue reading Chicken Masala
Braised Winter Vegetable Pasta
With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, I’m seeing a lot of discussion on whether or not diet, low-carb, or low-fat foods belong at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Really, it’s not so much of a discussion, because the general consensus seems to be that it’s one day a year dedicated to food (mostly), so might as well live…… Continue reading Braised Winter Vegetable Pasta
Tamari and Mirin-Glazed Salmon (& a product review!)
As a food blogger, one of the perks is receiving products to test and review. I was recently given the opportunity to test and share my honest opinion of San-J Organic Tamari sauce. I have done quite a bit of Asian cooking and am very familiar with the taste of soy sauces, but this was…… Continue reading Tamari and Mirin-Glazed Salmon (& a product review!)
Slow Cooker Lentil Soup with Cilantro Yogurt
I realized that I had photos of this recipe stored on my flash card, so figured it a good a time as any to share with you! I actually made this about two weeks ago on my birthday, while my parents were visiting and I needed something that didn’t require a lot of hands-on time…… Continue reading Slow Cooker Lentil Soup with Cilantro Yogurt
Sweet Corn Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
I’ve been meaning to make a corn salad for a long time, and finally got around to it today. This dish is phenomenal if you use fresh corn straight off of the cob. I used frozen corn, and it was still pretty awesome. It’s also a good way to use up any fresh vegetables you…… Continue reading Sweet Corn Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
Raspberry Ricotta Parfait
This parfait is a delicious, healthy breakfast that you can whip up in just a few minutes! You can use yogurt or ricotta, but I used a combination of both. If you use 100% ricotta, you will need to add more sugar than if add some vanilla yogurt. To make 2 parfaits, you will need:…… Continue reading Raspberry Ricotta Parfait
Mushroom, Spinach, and Mozzarella Pita Pizza
Today’s recipe is probably the easiest lunch I have ever made, aside from maybe pouring a bowl of cereal. My particular concoction includes ricotta cheese as the “sauce base,” but you could certainly use a tomato-based sauce. You can mix up the veggies any way you like. The possibilities are endless. 😛 To make one…… Continue reading Mushroom, Spinach, and Mozzarella Pita Pizza
Skinny Chicken Pot Pie
This recipe is for a healthy version of the usually full-of-fat dish, chicken pot pie. I made the crust from scratch, but you can certainly substitute a ready-made pie crust dough to save some time (I probably would have if I had one). Bonus though- you control the amount of fat etc that goes into…… Continue reading Skinny Chicken Pot Pie
