Resourceful home cook creating healthy, flexible meal plans
Remoulade is a sauce invented in France that is usually aioli- or mayonnaise-based. In this recipe from Alice Hart’s “Vegetarian” cookbook, the sauce is made lighter by use of vegan yogurt. We had half of a celery root left in our refrigerator from our Simmered Chicken and Vegetables recipe […]
This Asian-inspired fish dish is super-simple and easy; the sauce is a lovely spice-sweet combo. Since it’s been a while since we’ve cooked anything with brown sugar (we typically opt for coconut sugar, date paste, or omit the sweetener altogether) we went lighter than the recommended amount in the […]
I think we’re finally settling into a back-to-school routine. Moving into high school has been a transition for all of our, not just for our older son. His days are longer, which means our days are longer, too. Whether intentional or subconscious, we responded by planning savory, comforting, low-maintenance […]
I’m obsessed with baking scones that I can eat – that means no dairy or wheat! My desire for scones comes from years of walking into coffee shops and having to pass up all the buttery goods filling their bakery cases. These Maple Walnut Vegan Scones are my latest […]
A few months ago I published a recipe for a Vegan Risotto with mushrooms and peas, based on a recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks, “Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow.” I used that recipe as inspiration to create a dairy free Zucchini Risotto with dill, fresh rosemary, […]

One of the main things I enjoy about the cookbook, “Tu Casa Mi Casa,” is how it takes me out of my comfort zone of rice, beans, and tacos and enables me to explore a wider array of Mexican cooking. For example, I used to be intimidated to cook […]
There are many reasons to keep your kitchen pantry tidy, including finding hidden food items that you can quickly turn into a meal. I noticed a bag of cornmeal sitting in our pantry, and realized it had been there for more than a year. I sought out a weekend […]
These are so good and so easy, and so worth the extra time it takes to buy dried black beans in bulk and soak them overnight! Thanks to “Tacolicious” for the original recipe, which we’ve adapted to make low-FODMAP. We serve these beans on the regular, with tacos or […]
Late June through early September is prime peach time in our part of the world. We’ve already enjoyed a sweet Peach Blueberry Paleo Crumble and a colorful Tomato Peach Basil Summer Salad, and we decided to end peach season on a high note – with a spicy-sweet bbq sauce […]
