Now, I’ve always been a potato salad hater. Maybe it is that fluorescent yellow color pressing up against the sides of the grocery store containers. Maybe it is the thunking sound on your paper plate when a big scoop is ladled on, threatening to unseat your hot dog. It may just be all that mayonnaise [...]

Baking Day Chicken
Posted in gluten free (GF/CF), Italian, main meals, weight watchers core plan, yeast free on February 2, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Another recipe inspired by Lynne Rossetto Kasper, the queen of roasting. Despite the long-ish list of ingredients, this comes together quickly. It is visually stunning when served straight from the oven in its baking dish. The vegetables meld together during roasting to create a chunky, yet meltingly soft sauce that is wonderful served over rotini [...]

This is my low-fat version of the classic dish which I can’t even read about without getting that Billy Joel song stuck in my head. Spooned over polenta, it makes a comforting autumn meal. 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, diced 3 chicken breast halves, each cut in half 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 carrots, [...]
Christmas Eve Lamb

This is my improvisation of Sally Schneider’s improvisation of Paula Wolfert’s recipe. Phew. The lamb roasts slowly for seven hours, making it a perfect holiday meal, because you can prep it in the morning and then forget about it until dinner time ans spend time with your guests. My version is alcohol-free, and therefore lower in histamine than [...]

Oven-Roasted Summer Veggies

This is my version of a rustic Italian dish from The Italian Country Table, by Lynne Rosetto Kasper. It is more of a technique than a specific recipe — use whatever vegetables look best at your farmer’s market. I ommit the eggplant and the results are still delicious. 1 small eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 large or [...]
