Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes I love everything potatoes, especially creamy cheesy Au Gratin’s. I lightened these up a bit by replacing most of the heavy cream with Carnation’s 2% evaporated milk. I love the flavor combination of Swiss and Parmesan cheese. It’s rich and savory without the greasy texture of cheddar. The final sprinkle of…
Savory Pork Chops My herbs are blooming in the garden and I love finding reasons to use them. These savory pork chops are marinated in an herb wine blend with a touch of Dijon mustard for added depth of flavor. Grill these to a golden brown with tempting char marks and you’ll slice into a…
Sweet Potato Hash I love sweet potatoes and recently learned they are the most nutritious item in the produce section, what an added bonus! In this dish, the gentle sweetness of the potato is complimented by the savory ham and green pepper. Serve as an easy side dish or all by itself as a scrumptious…
Chicken Florentine Crockett’s Fusilli pasta loaded with chicken, spinach, and zippy sun dried tomatoes all baked in a creamy bechamel sauce and finished with a crunchy Parmesan topping. The best part is there’s no guilt as I used lowfat 2% evaporated milk instead of heavy cream and you’ll never know the difference. So temp your…
Chocolate Dipped Toffee Biscotti One of my favorite Sunday morning treats is biscotti dunked in a cup of coffee. These light and crisp almond biscotti cookies are loaded with bits of caramel toffee and finished with a smooth and silky coating of semi-sweet chocolate velvet. Tempted yet? Ingredients 1 ¾ cups pamelas’s gluten free baking…
Wedge Salad with Green Goddess Dressing Dinner last weekend at one of our favorite steak houses inspired me to re-create this salad. The dressing on their wedge salad was to die for and it tasted like summer on a plate. I asked what the base of the dressing was and the server said it was…
Turkey Shepherd’s Pie with Cauliflower Mash A classic comfort food made healthier with ground turkey breast and cauliflower mashed potatoes. You won’t miss a thing. Since ground turkey needs a flavor boost, I jazz-it-up with the addition of red and green bell peppers and GF Worcestershire sauce. This recipe is easy but it takes some time,…
Southwest Frittata with Tomato Pepper Salsa Another frittata this morning and this one has a special tomato pepper salsa. The red and green peppers along with the cilantro and tomatoes make a beautiful presentation while they fill your senses with summer garden freshness. I used leftover sirloin, but you can add your favorite choice of…
Seafood Fettuccine On a Saturday night last Summer we joined very good friends at an upscale seafood restaurant for dinner. I ordered salmon, my friend chose the scallops, and the guys had seafood fettuccine. Halfway through dinner the guys compared notes on their fettuccine and both concluded it was like glue. I think we were…
Croutons! Never before my gluten-free days did I savor a simple crouton like I do now. The pre-made gluten free croutons in stores are tasteless and resemble cardboard so I used to forego croutons all together. And let’s talk about Caesar Salad….is it even legal to have one without the crunch of a buttery garlic…
Turkey Salad Sandwiches This recipe dates back to 1987 when four of us couples headed to Lutzen, MN for a weekend getaway. We divided the meals between the four couples and part of the fun was the unspoken competition in whose was the best. On that hot summer day in July I tempted their taste…
Pearberry Walnut and Goat Cheese Salad This salad is as beautiful as it is flavorful with the contrast of tart raspberries, sweet crisp pears, candied walnuts and creamy Chevre goat cheese. For the dressing I take help from Cardini’s Pear Vinaigrette dressing, but to me it needs more punch so I add Dijon mustard and…
