You can go silky smooth or textured with complex flavor for this gluten-free Cheesy Garlic Mashed Root Vegetable side dish! I love finding foods in books and movies; they always make such great affiliations, like Turkish Delight that the White Witch magicked up in Narnia, Butterbeer from The Three Broomsticks in Harry Potter, spaghetti dinner in The Godfather, and even diabolical connotations, like the poison apple in Snow White. Every time I mention roast chicken to my mom she replies with shock, “Roast chicken?!!” the way Elijah Wood as Frodo said it in The Lord of the Rings. Literally every single time, lol. And in […]...
Thai-Inspired Street Dogs: Grilled Hot Dogs with Peanutty Garlic, Ginger, and Cilantro Slaw
These Thai-Inspired Street Dogs boast some of my favorite Thai flavors like peanut, garlic, and ginger in a tasty slaw! What could be better for topping hot dogs? I am a street food junkie, especially when I travel. I think there’s no better way to get to know the cuisine of a different culture than to jump head-first into the food the locals enjoy. (Plus street food has the added benefit of being much more affordable, which means you get to sample more…right?)...
Sesame-Soy Arrowroot Noodles with Stir-Fried Vegetables {Plus a Q&A with GoMacro Founder and a MacroBar Giveaway}
We all know that being active is part of a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes, however, it feels like a catch-22 when you and your family are so active that you’re always on-the-go and there isn’t even time to cook a healthy meal. Which is, of course, why so many people resort to the drive thru. I have a different take on fast food....
Hearty Garlic and Herb Mushroom Stew {Paleo and Vegan-Friendly}
Even though I don’t usually share their sentiments, I can at least understand how some veggies fall into the “eww” category for some people…...
Italian Sundried Tomato, Garlic, and Rosemary Chicken Hoagies with Melted Fontina Sauce
So, fess up…what’s your favorite part of the Super Bowl?...
Tomato-Simmered Lemon and Oregano-Scented Bison Meatballs
On our dinner table growing up, the most unusual meat to be found was venison. (Which my sister and I never liked, not only because of its gamey flavor, but also because the thought of eating Bambi didn’t sit well with us.) I know that’s probably crazy to some of you who eat a whole gamut of meat....
Garlicky Red Quinoa Patties with Mango Black Bean Salsa
One of the perks of living in Florida is that when fruit trees bear fruit, people suddenly have more than they know what do with, and the wealth inevitably gets shared. I remember waking up to a huge box of mangos on my front porch one morning when I lived there during law school… One of my friend’s parents’ had a mango tree in their backyard (along with a grapefruit tree, those lucky ducks) and I was absolutely certain the fruit was from her family (who also frequently dropped off oranges and avocados that they got from a friend who also had fruit trees)....
Roasted Garlic Spread
When people talk about the decadence of eating something off a spoon, I doubt they had this spread in mind. But they should. Yes, it’s just garlic (with a little olive oil and a touch of sea salt), but it’s so not just garlic....
Garlic-Dill Quick (Refrigerator) Pickles {Small Batch}
Few things in life are as rewarding as making homemade pickles. Which, I know, sounds absolutely bizarre, but is completely true nonetheless....
An Old Palestinian Potato Home Remedy for Tummy Troubles
The last time Mike and I were in the Middle East I came down with stomach bugs three different times in 40 days. That’s more times than I’ve been sick with tummy troubles during the rest of my adult life combined (other than that trip, I only remember having stomach flus twice since being a kid!). Lucky for me, my mother-in-law is well-versed not only in cooking, but also in home remedies, many of which very effectively use food as medicine. As Hippocrates said, Let thy food by thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food....
