Quinoa Salad
November 14, 2019All I have to say is – when the number one placed result for this dish from google tells you to leave the lid off when you cook quinoa, you might be impressed and persuaded to do so. I’m here to tell you google favors blogs for the weirdest reasons, and none of them is good writing or good recipes for that matter. Put the lid on the damn quinoa, and add on to your life span. This here is your basic quinoa salad. It’s pretty darn delicious for healthy food. Music to cook by: “Weather Report” by Weather Report
Chicken Swiss Gnocchi Bake
I never knew my grandmother but by all accounts she was an astounding cook – able to take the most random ingredients (and often very few – they were quite poor) and make mouth-watering, incredibly flavorful, satisfying dishes. I claim…
Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms
Since I forgot to do a photo shoot of the completed dish, and since the majority of my current viewership of this blog is from Vimeo or Patreon traffic; we have here a dads-gone-mild still from the bonus Patreon-only video…
Affordable Meals, boneless skinless chicken thighs, Chicken, Comfort Food, For Cheese Lovers, Low FodmapCheesy Chicken Thigh and Potato Bake
I wanted to bring a cookbook to work with me last Sunday because my phone charging cable is under-performing, so I needed other diversions. I didn’t want to bring something that would look like a cookbook, since my breaks are…
Italian Stew with Pasta
Do you ever look at someone’s sad excuse for a recipe and laugh? I’m pretty sure some of these people do not even own a spice drawer/cabinet. Sometimes I like to read crap recipes out loud because we both get…
Baked Tilapia Tacos with Lime Crema
There’s an old song with a great message called “Make Someone Happy”. There is probably no better way to do that than to hand someone a taco. You literally could just sub the word taco into that song: “Make someone…
Stuffed Chicken Special
Worst picture ever, I know. It was 11:30 pm and I might have had a libation or two. Until I make it again you’ll just have to imagine ooey gooey cheese, fun bright colors from the sweet red peppers and…
Low Fodmap Pasta Sauce
The chicken & spinach lasagna you see in the picture was made using a batch of this sauce. I woke up in the same shirt I was wearing when I ate it. Not a drop on it! I’m calling miracle.…
Rum Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies
Because we can. Earlier, as I lay in bed thinking what would be better than chocolate chip cookies… Obviously the answer was almond – that was a no-brainer. Than I continued ruminating – what would be better than almond chocolate…
Low Fodmap Mexican Rice
Life can be deceptively mundane, sometimes; which is why we need tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, burritos and tostadas in our lives. I spent part of my morning picking mealybugs off of an African daisy with tweezers and dropping them in a…
Tuna Puttanesca
I have a secret. This version takes a little longer but comes out even better than my “Tuna Puttanesca In a Snap” recipe, which is the normal approach and takes 10 minutes less. I decided to rethink this recipe with…
