The trick to cooking good fish is to not over cook it. Dry fish is not very appetizing. I used tilapia for this recipe, but any white fish such as halibut or mahi mahi, may be substituted, just allow for extra cooking time if the fish is thicker. The little rice cakes are cooked in [Read More]

The Best Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies
I almost fell to the floor when my husband said, “I would eat these gluten-free chocolate chip cookies over regular ones any day!” Just so you know, I have been cooking gluten-free recipes and having my husband taste them for almost thirty years. And he is very particular when it comes to comparing gluten-free to [Read More]
Dried Fig & Wild Honey Tart
Summer is a great time to whip up a tart or pie and starting with a good crust is a must. I purchased a Mama’s Pie Crust package to see if their claim for “light and flaky pie crust that tastes like the real thing” was really true. And the verdict…I concur. This gluten-free crust is [Read More]
Cherry Almond Muffins (Dairy & Gluten-Free)
I picked up some fresh Rainier Cherries from the Farmer’s Market to bake up a batch of cherry almond muffins as a gift to my dad for Father’s Day. Turning gluten-free just a few years ago, and having spent most of his 75 years eating gluten, he appreciates great tasting gluten-free food. And today, in [Read More]
Sautéed Chicken Breasts & Morels in a Marsala Wine Sauce
If you like mushrooms, there is nothing quite like eating fresh morels. They grow in the forest among damp woody places and are best found in the springtime after the snow has melted until early June. Know your mushrooms well. There are many mushrooms that are edible, but just as many, if not more, that [Read More]

Spinach & Blue Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette
My Saturday morning routine consists of sleeping in (which usually means 7:00 am) and then hitting the farmer’s market by 9:00. My husband was out of town this past weekend, so some friends called me up to go to the market and then off to a neighboring town for an old-fashioned car show, where vintage [Read More]
Strawberry Pavlova with Honey-Balsamic Reduction
Rest is a good thing. A couple of weeks ago my husband and I took a business/vacation trip down to Hollywood and Santa Monica. Even though we were only there for four days, we packed a lot in and enjoyed the sunshine and scenery. We stayed at a lovely hotel in West Hollywood and had fun [Read More]
Gluten Free Brownies with Raspberry Ripple
I have a new recipe for a low-fat, diary-free, gluten-free brownie. I replaced the butter with applesauce and even though this brownie may not win any awards, it still has great texture and taste for a low-cal brownie! It is a little more cake-like because the fat was removed, and that is what makes a [Read More]
Vegetable Stack with Parmesan, Rosemary & Sea Salt
These vegetable stacks with parmesan, rosemary and sea salt are pretty simple to make, but taste so fantastic. I think they look great, too, and would make a nice presentation on a plate if you are having dinner guests over. The key to making these cook evenly is to slice them the same width. One [Read More]
