Andouille Sausage, Shrimp and Stuffing
Just because you eat gluten free doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy comfort food. Aldi supermarkets has a great selection of Gluten Free products and one of them is the stuffing I bought for Thanksgiving for my relatives who eat gluten free but they were sick at Thanksgiving. I was tired of staring at it on […]
Spring Chick Pea Salad with Toasted Almonds and Peppers
We’re getting into salad season! If you’re craving something fresh and colorful, this salad not only looks festive but is very satisfying with the combination of textures. I added some roasted cauliflower but it’s just as good without it. Enjoy by itself (chick peas are a great source of protein) or as a side dish. […]

You can get it in many Middle Eastern stores or order it […]

Rosemary Coconut Quinoa with Tofu
Hello all! I forgot to plant herbs this year so I was extra excited when my friend Tim once again gave me his overload of garden delights. I’m talking chives, rosemary, basil, thyme, sage and even some tomatoes! I brought a large stash with me on vacation and incorporated some of them into a dish […]
Bingeing On Healthy Food
Some of us, sometimes, binge. I know I do. I recently met a cookbook author who was hell bent on sharing the info that if we just make a slight mental shift, we can binge but not necessarily set ourselves into a tailspin of eating garbage for the rest of the day, night, week or […]
