I was cleaning out the pantry (that end of the year task that really makes you want to get your life together) and found some sorghum flour that needed to be used so I set to work on a gluten free bread recipe.  I wanted a yeasted type rise but didn’t have any gums on hand so I decided to go with psyllium husk.  Yes, it’s probably not in others’ pantry, but it was in mine 😛 As promised on instagram, I would post the recipe if it turned out and here I am to… Read more >

I wrote down a recipe! If you follow me on instagram, you know I cook all day long, but I don’t measure or record anything because I just don’t have time for it.  And yet!  And yet!

I never know what to title these big salads that have 10 different ingredients, all as equally as important in their presence.  Oh well! I decided on stone fruit and corn quinoa salad because even though I used nectarines, you could use peaches, plums, or apricots, too!  It’s a very summer themed salad with the corn and basil, too. Stone Fruit and Corn Quinoa Salad Ingredients: 3 nectarines 3 ears of sweet corn 2 cups quinoa (cooked to yield ~4 cups quinoa) 1 bag slaw mix (or 1 cabbage, shredded + 4 carrots, shredded) 1… Read more >

This was born out of random kitchen ingredients, like all the best recipes are, and was so good I had to record it so I’d remember to make it again. Everyone loved it, and the prep isn’t too labor intensive, especially if you take a few shortcuts like buying ranch dressing and eggs already hard boiled (and a few other things I will note in the recipe). I didn’t this time, but I’m definitely not above it in the future 😛 Ranch Scramble Slaw Bowl Ingredients: 1 can black beans 3 sweet potatoes + 1… Read more >
