These veggie burgers freeze and re-heat well. They are mild-tasting enough to go with just about anything you’d like to top them with — from the traditional ketchup and mustard to my favorite, salsa verde. They leave sandwiches behind and enter the realm of dinner-you-would-serve-to-guests when topped with Oven – Roasted Red Peppers, and served [...]

Baked Spanish Rice

Ah, Spanish rice. A dish that evokes church potlucks of my childhood. One of my favorite church games (along with counting the number of times the minister said “uh” or “um” during the sermon) was trying to guess the number of Spanish rice casseroles that would be laid out side by side, each in its [...]

I used these wonderful round summer squashes that I found at my farmer’s market for this recipe, but regular long zucchini will work just as well. 3 cups cooked basmati rice (I used white, but you could also use brown) 6 zucchini or summer squash 3 small carrots, diced 4 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon oregano 1/2 [...]
Cream Biscuits
Posted in recipes with some top 8 allergens on September 6, 2007 | 2 Comments »
These biscuits are our version of a James Beard recipe. We refrain from dredging them in melted butter before baking, and instead brush a restrained amount of olive oil on top. But beware — these biscuits are single-handedly responsible for my daughter gaining 10 percent of her body weight in four weeks. Of course, we [...]
Spookily Pumpkin Muffins

Getting kids to eat veggies is all about marketing, especially when you have a picky food-allergic child. For those of you not in the know, Spookily is a square pumpkin that stars in his own cartoon show aimed at the under-five crowd. (What is it about square things and kid’s cartoons?) My daughter has never [...]

You may have noticed that I like chickpeas. What’s not to like? They’re versatile and high in protein, fiber, and iron. Not to mention that they taste good too. Here’s a salad to showcase fresh, ripe green beans from the farmer’s market. 3/4 pound green beans, washed and trimmed, and cut into 2-inch lengths 1 15-oz can chickpeas, [...]

You won’t miss the fat in this lean, low-histamine version of Italian sausage bursting with the falvor of fresh basil. We made a mess of this sausage last weekend while batch cooking with friends, and a lot of it didn’t make it to the freezer because of all the nibbling. 2 1/2 pounds ground turkey breast 3 [...]

These are lovely with fresh tomato sauce on them, or with Simple Summer Chickpea Salad. They also freeze well. You could probably substitute quinoa for the cous cous, but I haven’t tried it yet. The recipe as written contains wheat and dairy. 1 2/3 cups cous cous 3 cups boiling water 1/3 cup chickpea flour [...]
