Light & Loverly Orzo Salad
July 14, 2019I refrained from calling it “Mediterranean Orzo Salad” because some food bloggers seem to think that dried oregano immediately makes something Mediterranean. “Tangy Orzo Salad” lacked appeal. Then I thought – what almost rhymes with orzo? “Funzo Orzo Salad” seemed like… well, fun but you know, as much as I like getting cease and desist letters…. So… Eliza Doolittle it is. Easily made vegetarian with a veggie stock instead of chicken. Easily made vegan by making a different dish. Love ya! Music to cook by: Brother Jack McDuff “A Change Is Gonna Come”

Maple Roast Pork Tenderloin and Veggies! (low fodmap)
Bok choy, yellow squash and bacon make for fun variety in this one, and it comes together pretty quickly! I love red bell pepper. Love. I’m convinced it has magical powers. I noticed quickly, however, that on low FODMAP diets…
Low FODMAP Baked Cheesy Chicken Tacos!

Lentil Potato Stew
This is my first vegetarian recipe post. Would you believe I was a pescatarian for 6 years? That’s a vegetarian who eats fish… spell-check doesn’t even recognize the word. Uh-huh. A very naughty pescatarian who ate Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwiches…
Mexican Lasagna with No Cilantro!
I remember the first time I tasted cilantro. It was at Taco Bell long ago (I haven’t been to a Taco Bell in over 10 years). Some sort of steak taco, gordita or something. I thought the meat had gone…
Classic Potato Salad
I don’t think anybody actually enjoys making potato salad. I’d like to know who the first person was that said – “Hmmm. I really feel like cubing a crap ton of potatoes, today!!” Still, you have to admit it’s high…

Sometimes in the kitchen it’s nice to not do every single thing yourself. So although it’s commendable to create your own bruschetta ground chicken, in this recipe we’re going for super quick dinner with minimal effort. Serve with your favorite…
Classic Macaroni Salad
Do you know why Yankee Doodle called his feathered hat “macaroni”? It was the 18th century way of saying “da bomb”. And now you know that. Cue the counting baker who falls down the stairs with his pies. Do you…
Tuna Puttanesca in a Snap
Being a suspicious type of guy, I’m extra suspicious whenever I see an Italian sauce labeled as “quick” or “comes together in no time”. I immediately think of the Italian moms in the hood growing up telling me it ain’t…
