On New Year’s Eve instead of going out to a crowded party or bar, we decided to stay in, cook ourselves a wonderful dinner, play games, drink wine, and enjoy each others’ company. And honestly, I think I prefer my NYE that way! The dinner we made was four courses, gluten-free, vegetarian, EASY, and delicious.

My favorite vegetables have always been the green ones. Broccoli, peas, edamame, spinach, peppers, zucchini…I could go on. And yet another favorite green food is pesto. Recently I made Spinach Pesto to make sure I used up all the spinach in my fridge before it went bad (and it was amazing). With that spinach pesto […]

I’ve determined that the bags that they sell fresh spinach in cannot possibly be consumed by one person before it goes bad, unless that one person is Popeye. Every time I buy spinach for a recipe, I end up with a ton extra, and it ends up getting thrown away, which I really feel intensely […]

I had never made crostini before I went gluten-free, so I thought I had lost my chance. But, it turns out that Udi’s makes a pretty good gluten-free bread! I added some of my favorite ingredients over top of toasted GF bread, and it turned out great. Ingredients 1-2 Slices Udi’s Gluten-Free White Sandwich Bread […]

Three of my favorite foods: gnocchi, pesto, and spinach COMBINED. Although, it’s not really saying much, since most foods are my favorite foods (self-proclaimed food addict) except for meat (obviously) and mushrooms. Anyway, I love gnocchi but had never cooked it at home so I figured I’d give it a whirl instead of pasta. I […]

I have a serious pesto obsession. I could bathe in pesto. You could make pesto with any ingredient in existence (cookie pesto?) and I’d probably eat it. I found this recipe for pea pesto a couple months ago, bookmarked it, and finally got around to making it, and it turned out wonderful! I mixed up the […]

I could seriously bathe in basil pesto. It is so good, I can barely stop myself from eating a family-sized portion, plus garlic bread. But here’s the problem: basil pesto is mediocre at best unless it’s homemade. I tried pesto for the first time a couple years ago at a restaurant, and subsequently bought a […]
