Miso Soup With Everything
It seems like I’ve been narrowly skirting around illness for weeks now. The thought of miso soup sounded like an excellent idea and I pulled my usual trick of investigating what was hanging out in the fridge and pantry…
Fresh Winter Potato Salad
I was walking home tonight, thinking about what to make for supper. I wanted to eat garlic, having just read an inspiring paragraph about its health benefits in the book Food Security for the Faint of Heart…
Roasted Cauliflower and Caramelized Onion Tart (Gluten-Free)
This is ANOTHER excellent recipe from Smitten Kitchen. I made a gluten-free version for New Year’s Day and it was well loved and totally devoured. I was attracted to this recipe because I am addicted to caramelized onions…

BLT Salad with Biscuit Croutons (GF) and Creamy Herb Dressing
I used to eat a lot of BLTs. I work in some sketchy neighborhoods with limited lunch offerings. I do try to pack myself a salad when I can, but sometimes you get busy and you just have to find somewhere to buy your lunch. It turns out that BLTs are nearly impossible to mess…
