Crispy Artichoke Hearts with Quick Caper Aioli
This coming Sunday the culmination of a half year of American football season will come to a close when two teams battle it out in the Super Bowl. (And yes, I looked it up; a football season is exactly 26 weeks long.)
While not a football fan especially, I am a huge fan of San Francisco and our beloved 49ers will be fighting for the title of Super Bowl Champion. I also happen to be a fan of any event where food plays a prominent role.
Gluten Free Stuffed Artichokes Recipe
I hope you all had a lovely holiday! We have had a packed schedule here; holiday cocktail parties, big family dinners, brunches and all sort of lovely, organized chaos. It started with Thanksgiving and a month later we are still in party mode!
After all this reveling I am thinking that New Year’s Eve should be quiet; just a wonderful late night dinner for the hubby and me. But just because it will be only the two of us does not mean it shouldn’t be special.
Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake
Years ago on a road trip with the hubby I called an old friend from high school, informed her that we were about an hour away and wondered if it was convenient for us to get together for a few minutes on our way through town. Without hesitation she enthusiastically invited us over to her home.
We arrived to a fresh pot of coffee, a lovely table set with flowers and a freshly baked cake. “Do you always have a cake ready for when people stop by with hardly any notice?” I wondered.
Gluten Free Quick Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. The internet is a-buzz with recipes and tips for feeding a crowd. But what if you don’t have a crowd to feed? What if you don’t have all day to prepare a feast? What if there is no way on this earth you will ever use up a whole turkey, even with a zillion left-over turkey recipes?
Does this mean you have to be deprived on Thanksgiving? No! Here is a whole gluten free Thanksgiving dinner for six that is quick, easy, and stress free
Gluten Free Cauliflower Piccata Recipe
Cauliflower – love it or leave it?
I will admit that growing up I could leave it, dare I say I went as far as being an almost hater? Sure it was okay when covered with creamy cheese sauce or raw dipped into ranch dressing. But it you are going to eat all those calories and extra fat, wouldn’t it better just to have a piece of flourless chocolate cake? Topped with caramel sauce? And maybe some whipped cream? But I digress.
Gluten Free Greek Breakfast Bread Recipe
This is how my mind works.
I was looking through an issue of Donna Hay magazine and saw a recipe for breakfast bread. It was lovely looking yeasty dough with eggs cracked on top and baked. This made me think of Greek Easter Bread (bread with hardboiled eggs baked into it.) Which made me think of my friend Angie (she is Greek.) This made me think of South Africa (she is going there in a couple weeks.) Which made me think of elephants (I was charged by elephants when I was in Africa) and that in turn reminded me I need to buy new running shoes (elephants chasing, me running…) and that reminded me that my hubby has a pair of shoes he needs to return. I then thought of Nordstrom which in turn made me think about Angie again (she likes to shop) which made me think of coffee (we are supposed to meet up for coffee later.) Coffee made me think of my friend Anita (she has a great coffee maker) which reminded me that it was my turn to host Anita and her hubby for brunch.
Which brought me back to breakfast bread.
