You may have picked up on a theme with me lately … pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin cornbread … yes, I’m in full-on pumpkin mode! These pumpkin muffins are just right – full of that yummy pumpkin flavor but not too sweet. Perfect for these cool autumn mornings!
The dish now known as Ratatouille is an ancient Mediterranean stew traditionally known as “Peasant’s Food,” since it is essentially comprised of any leftovers you can find thrown into a pot and cooked down together. Farmer’s food: fresh local vegetables, stewed in regional herbs, it can change with particular influences of the chef preparing it, and can vary every time you make it as well!
When I saw basket after basket of these fresh beauties at the farmer’s market today, I just couldn’t resist. I knew it was finally time for one of my southern summer favorites: Fried Zucchini!
I paired this burger with my fabulous homemade gluten-free buns, but you could certainly eat it sans bun for a low-carb, but really filling meal option. You can also bake these puppies and freeze them for later, or even break them into crumbles for taco filling, put them on your salad, or use them as meatballs for your favorite gluten-free pasta dish! It’s really an impressively versatile (and super healthy) recipe!
You might not want to tell your kids that the new bread recipe they’re loving is good for them. Or that it’s made with not only green vegetables (zucchini), but also green legumes (peas)! No, I’m pretty sure you don’t want to tell them that. Just smile smugly, as they scarf down another piece of that yummy sweet bread you just made for them!
A fun new healthy soup inspired by my friend Sharon in Atlanta. While visiting, she described how she cooked down some broccoli and cauliflower to make the base for a hearty but low-carb soup. I decided to follow her lead and really liked what I created! It paired wonderfully with my pumpkin cornbread, by the way!
An easy breakfast solution to suit any taste! Add whatever berries, chips, nuts or other additions you prefer, and make them your own!
Cream cheese frosting as deliciously decadent as you remember, even dairy-free!
This recipe could take a different form each time you make it, affording the opportunity to make it even more than once a week, if you like! Made without a pie crust (the flour settles to the bottom to form its own crust- bonus!), I can dump ingredients into the bowl, mix and bake or use a gluten-free pie crust, for a change of pace.
Summer and Fried Green Tomatoes go hand-in-hand! No need to fret if you are gluten free — these taste as good as you remember with NO compromises!
