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 [...]

After an initial Green-Eggs-and-Ham reaction, I found myself enjoying these so much that I snuck some from the fridge as a midnight snack. 3 leeks, sliced (white and light green parts only) 2 teaspoons olive oil 3 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1 cup water 1 medium head broccoli, roughly chopped (about 3 to [...]

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 [...]
Homemade Italian Sausage with Fresh Basil

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 [...]

This is a quick, low fat, filling vegan stew. I like to serve it over cooked amaranth, though it would also be good over rice. 1 25 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 carrots, sliced into 1-inch logs 4 waxy potatoes, cut into small [...]

The south of France meets south of the Mason-Dixon line, and the result surprisingly seems like it was always meant to be. Susan Geiskopf-Hadler and Mindy Toomay created this delicious treat. I’ve changed their cous cous to quinoa to avoid wheat and for added protien. 1 pound fresh asparagus 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium white [...]
