BBQ Tempeh Potato salad

THIS WAS SO GOOD!  Pardon the cap locks but wowzers.  Emphasis necessary. Normally I wait to share dinners with my weekly menu recaps, but I had to get this up asap because it needs to go on all your lists for next week’s meal plan.  Promise? BBQ Tempeh Potato Salad [veg, gluten free, dairy free, nut free] 10 red potatoes, diced 1-2 tbsp olive oil 1/2 red bell pepper 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved 1 head romaine, chopped 6 oz. Lightlife tempeh bacon* 3/4 cup corn 1 tbsp lime juice 1/4 cup BBQ sauce 1/4… Read more >

The weekly menu

I love short weeks!  This one flew by not only because Monday was a holiday but also because I am leaving (have left) to go to stay with my parents for the end of the week and weekend.  Low fuss cooking and leftovers were the name of the game. Backing up to Saturday (of the Memorial weekend) we had turkey burgers with a cauliflower salad. His was on sourdough, mine was on Udi’s GF bread.  His had gouda, mine had Daiya.  Both had lots of BBQ sauce and romaine. But the star of the show (for me) was the… Read more >

The weekly menu

I actually have some recipes that I created in this post!  Imagine that!  But in truth, I did get most inspiration from books and blogs, as I tend to these days. I already shared our (meatless) Monday dinner here.  We only had a small serving of leftovers – not enough to make a full meal – so I had it as part of a lunch later that week, bulked up with hemp seeds, avocado, and more greens.  I think I eat 1-2 avocados a day.  And P is in a similar rut.  It’s pricey. So anyway,… Read more >

Bon Appetit’s galette dough made allergy free

If you didn’t know by now (how could you not?!) I’m a Bon Appetit fanatic.  I participated in the #cookthecover challenge for a while, and have double subscriptions (on my kindle and a hard copy).  And when I’m in a recipe slump I hit up BA first.  Basically, BA is the ish and I’m drinking the kool aid. This recipe is from the April 2014 publication. I used it as a template for the crust but made massive tweaks to make it GF and DF.  So basically the “whole wheat dough” is not whole wheat at all. It… Read more >

National Hummus Day!!

IS TODAY! Ok, who is excited about this one!?!  I know I’m not alone here.  Hummus is basically the best food on the planet.  The real shame is that I can’t enjoy it as much as I want these days since my son has a sesame allergy.  Any long time readers know I used to live on hummus.  It made up 50% of my diet on a conservative day, and I’m not exaggerating.  And it all started back in NYC with the introduction of Sabra.  Taste buds meet heaven.  And then there were wedding bells….
