While it hasn’t been exactly hot lately (unless you live in the southern hemisphere), a milkshake is a treat that will lift the spirits of any kid or grown-up immediately. Best of all, it doesn’t have to be unhealthy. This version from Marla Meridith of Family Fresh Cooking has to be one of the heartiest looking shakes [...]
Chai Carrot Pear Muffins
(Vegan & Gluten-Free)
from Family Fresh Cooking
I’ve probably mentioned more than a few times that I love anything chai flavored. I drink chai tea on a daily basis, I’ve made just about chai inspired dessert known to man (maybe a little exaggeration there), and I’ll go way out of my way to get the right ingredients to fulfill this need (or [...]
Wild Mushroom Sauté with Bacon, Herbs
and Gluten-Free Cous Cous
from Family Fresh Cooking
I so agree with Marla Meridith of Family Fresh Cooking about the satisfaction you get hunting for your food. She has a great post talking about a wild mushroom hunt just outside Telluride, Colorado. Beyond the satisfaction of finding your own food in the wild, just the thought of being in Telluride would make me happy. She’s [...]
Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie Parfaits
from Family Fresh Cooking
I almost feel like an apology is in order as I’ve been posting so many desserts lately — but I won’t apologize be cause they are all so so good. Spread them out and only make one or two a week and you’ll be fine :) If you haven’t been hearing about the many tributes [...]
Fruit and Egg Quinoa Breakfast Parfaits
from Family Fresh Cooking
Breakfast has to be one of my favorite meals of the day, followed closely by dinner, and then lunch a very distant third. Besides my steady diet of bacon and eggs in the morning, I love making different yogurt concoctions adding in just about anything I have on hand, especially berries and nuts (my favorites [...]
Lemon Basil Ice Cream
from Family Fresh Cooking
This is the second post for a lemon inspired desert from Marla Meridith’s Family Fresh Cooking that I’ve posted in recent months. With both lemon and basil, how could you possibly go wrong? I can’t say that I’ve had ice cream with basil, but it sounds really really good. – – – “I am thrilled to [...]
BLT Quinoa Salad
from Family Fresh Cooking
Bacon, lettuce, and tomato. These have to be some of the most perfect ingredients for just about any dish. There’s the obvious choice like sandwiches, then as Marla Meridith of Family Fresh Cooking points out, it’s great in pasta too (gluten-free pasta of course), but she’s changing it up a little and adding it to quinoa — [...]
Lemonade Cucumber Spa Popsicles
from Family Fresh Cooking
I love anything with lemon in it. I put it in nearly every glass of water I drink, I put it on chicken, I put it on salad, and countless other things that I won’t bore you with. Then there are desserts with lemon — the first one that comes to mind is sorbet, and [...]
Gluten-Free Mango Muffins
from Family Fresh Cooking
Inspired by the one and only Elana of Elana’s Pantry, Marla Meridith of Family Fresh Cooking has discovered the joys of cooking with almond flour — and what a joy it truly is. Almond flour as well as coconut flour are hands down the most healthy of the gluten-free flours available. They add a wonderful flavor [...]
Double Chocolate Banana Scones
(Vegan and Gluten Free)
from Family Fresh Cooking
I’ve been running into Marla Meridith of Family Fresh Cooking more and more lately. The last time was a couple of weeks ago at the book signing party for food photographer/blogger extraordinaire, Matt Armendariz — he was promoting his new book, On a Stick (not a gluten-free book). As always, Marla and I get deep into [...]
Cheesy Bacon Apple Frittata
from Family Fresh Cooking
After being diagnosed with celiac disease back in 1999, I found myself relying on a lot of basic food staples — things like beef, chicken, and pork as well as lots of vegetables and fruit. One thing in particular that I found myself eating a lot of was eggs. I can’t even begin to tell [...]
Almond Chickpea Cookies
(Vegan and Gluten Free)
from Family Fresh Cooking
The more I read of Marla Meridith’s blog, Family Fresh Cooking, the more I see why she was named one of the top Mom bloggers by Babble. More and more of her recipes are turning out to be gluten-free and she’s not afraid to experiment with some relatively uncommon ingredients. These cookies are using garbanzo (aka [...]
