Zoe, Andrew, and I have been obsessed with this Red & Green Christmas Salad lately! I thought it would be fun and pretty to have a red and green salad on rotation this December, and it has been. Sometimes we eat it like this, and sometimes we add chopped cooked chicken for a delicious twist…
Salad & Dressing
Broccoli & Potato Salad
I want to start by thanking everyone who reached out to me to offer help and support after my newsletter last weekend. It meant so much to me. 🙂 One of you suggested GABA for my airplane panic attacks and I had totally forgotten to take mine. Thank you for that reminder! I’m also scheduled to…
Chipotle Lime Roasted Broccoli & Cauliflower
“How do you work with all your kids homeschooling?” is a question I’ve been asked since the beginning of this blog 8 years ago. At least I think it’s 8 years. I’ve lost track. Ha! Anyway, I never really knew how to answer that question. Whether you send your kids to school or homeschool, it…
Thanks Alea for this great late summer picnic!
Hello there everyone 🙂 It seems that Kelly’s little one has impeccable timing for arrival- within a few days my own sister had a new baby too, and the first thing I thought of was, feeding them of course! There’s really nothing like a late summer picnic, especially if it means bringing the older siblings…
Creamy Italian Salad Dressing dairy-free of course :-)
Any kind of oil other than grapeseed, olive or coconut really bothers me (and Andy, and Zoe, and Ashley). For instance when I try to make vegan frosting with those shortenings they sell in the health food store we all end up… Well, lets just say it upsets our stomachs 😉 Same with any kind…
Caesar Dressing (soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free)
I added chia seeds to this dressing, not for flavor (they don’t add any flavor to the dressing), but to thicken it. Chia seeds are phenomenally good for you, and lately I’ve been using them to thicken lots of salad dressings and dips. Chia seeds have: More Omega-3 than Atlantic Salmon More Antioxidants than fresh blueberries…
Russian Dressing (gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free)
We ate this salad with Russian Dressing tonight for dinner. The salad included carrots, chicken and hemp seeds. Y-U-M. The difference between Russian Dressing and Thousand Island Dressing is mainly eggs. Russian Dressing does not contain eggs. There is, however, a very small amount soy in the dressing because I use Vegenaise Grapeseed Oil in…
Salad with Creamy Honey Dijon gluten-free, dairy-free
What’s the weather like where you are? And while we’re at it—where are you? Here in the Longmont, Colorado we have been having hot then not so hot, as usual. 😉 Around here they say, if you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes, it’ll change. And so it’s been for a week or two…
Ginger & mock Peanut Dressing
With the 90 degree heatwave we’ve been having here in northern Colorado, I haven’t been wanting to use the oven at all. One way I like to fill up without cooking anything is by having salad with lots of nuts and seeds. In this salad I threw in some chopped apples, sesame and Hemp Seeds,…
Creamy Honey Dijon Dressing gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free
After making my Creamy Ranch Dressing with white beans I thought that it might work as a creamy honey dijon too. I like this new dressing on salad or as dip for carrots and celery. The chia seeds don’t add flavor, they are there to thicken the dressing and add omegas 3 & 6, plus…
