BLT Gnocchi
I love tomatoes!! As I mentioned in my gazpacho post earlier this week, it’s the peak of tomato season. With that in mind, I feel it’s my duty to create as many tomato recipes as possible before the season ends. This BLT Gnocchi is one of my favorite recipes to date! Besides being yummy and…
Spicy Gazpacho (with Shrimp, optional)
It’s the peak of tomato season and I fell in love with all of the beautiful tomatoes at the farmer’s market this weekend! Heirloom, beefsteak, vine-ripe, grape, cherry, so many different kinds of tomatoes and all soooo delicious! There’s another tomato recipe coming later this week. You should be excited! It’s going to be the…
Mojito Quinoa Salad (Vegan and Gluten-free)
I love mojitos! This Mojito Quinoa Salad is reminiscent of the the flavors of this favorite Cuban cocktail, but minus the rum. 🙁 Although I’m sure you could add rum to this too! 🙂 This quinoa dish is sure to cool you off during the hot summer days. It’s soooo hot in L.A. right now! …
Today I’m Outing Myself…

Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette
I’ve been on a lemon kick lately. Jack has a lemon tree in his backyard that doesn’t stop. So, I have an endless supply of organic lemons at my fingertips. (Beware, more lemon recipes are coming!) I normally don’t use salad dressing. I’ll just use EVOO and lemon juice. But I have fond memories of…
Curried Chicken Salad (Paleo, Whole 30)
I’m usually cooking for one and I love making dishes where I put in the time once and eat several times. That’s what I do with this Curried Chicken Salad. It’s easy to make and can be served different ways. I like it served in endive leaves for a snack or light lunch. If I…
The Best Almond Butter (Plain, Chocolate and Cinnamon)
I love almond butter! You can find all kinds in grocery and specialty stores, so why do you need to make your own, you ask? I’ve tried SO MANY brands and most of them have other ingredients besides almonds, even the organic ones. I don’t want safflower or sunflower oil, among other things, in my…
