This month, the recipe redux asked us for our favorite healthy recipe celebrating stone fruits! Peaches are actually my second favorite stone fruit, behind cherries, and I love them in these barbecue black bean tacos with peach salsa!
Peaches pair perfectly with other fresh salsa ingredients, like acidic tomatoes, and bright cilantro. Their sweetness really helps to balance the salsa, which is the star of this dish! Continue reading

Sometimes you see a recipe that is so intriguing and different, that you just have to try it! That was me when I saw a recipe for Burmese ginger salad. I put my own twists on it and called my version a Burmese pickled ginger and fried garlic salad!
The dressing on this salad is made with fish sauce, and it is really the star of this dish! I primarily eat vegetarian, so sorry to my vegetarian readers, but this recipe was just not the same without the fish sauce! Continue reading

I am a huge fan of eggs, but my husband is not. Therefore, having eggs has become a treat I enjoy when I’m only cooking for myself. This zucchini tomato fritatta for one is a perfect light summer lunch, just for me!
This spring I fell in love with this kale and potato fritatta, but it was a little too much to eat all by myself. Summertime zucchini and tomato fill the fritatta up, but keep it light. Continue reading

I have many family members that eat gluten free, and they tell me the thing they miss most is pizza! Well, I love to tinker with recipes, so I decided to created a gluten free pizza crust recipe that is just like a traditional thin Italian pizza!
When I was researching for this recipe, I saw that most recipe developers were using a gluten free all purpose flour mix. Most mixes are slightly different, so if you didn’t use the same brand as the recipe developer, you might not get the same results. Continue reading
