Originally posted August 11, 2010 as “Polenta lasagna with roasted veggies and gorgonzola recipe” When I’m asked to create a recipe, I often have what I call a “vision” of a dish. I know it should work because I’ve done something similar before and I’m generally good at putting flavors together. For a dish…

Originally posted May 17, 2010 This is often how things work with me. I decide at some point that I want something. Pizza, cookies, a madeleine…and since I’m eating a gluten-free diet, I can’t always go to the store to buy it. Or, maybe I can but it’s not always good. So it was,…

Originally posted February 17, 2010 When I went to culinary school, I remember when we learned how to make Caesar salad table-side.

Originally posted September 11, 2008;it was labeled as “The Best-o Pesto”. It also could be called “Easy Pesto.” Hope you agree! I remember when I first moved to California (many years ago). I had never heard of a Farmer’s Market back east. Sure, we had farm stands but I grew up in the country.…

Originally posted on September 9, 2008 thanks to our neighbor’s kids, Laurel and Siena! Does this dish sound like something you would order in a restaurant? Well it might but you can make it at home without a lot of fuss. And you might think it strange but my 2 and 4 year old…

Originally posted June 22, 2008 Some of you might understand this; others might think it funny. (Many years ago), while I was in my exercise class, during one of the hardest parts, all I could think about was this crisp I was going to make later that day. I thought about the berries, so…
