I’ve made your delicious: Yucatan Fish, Flageolets and Sausage, Pasta Tricolore, Southwestern Quinoa, and Springtime Paella. Tonight it will be the [...]
Gluten-free baking success at last! If you’ve followed my blog you know that while I’m not the greatest of bakers it’s mostly because I have a hard time following a recipe “as written”. With baking, not following the directions to the letter can often end with inedible results. But not today. Today I translated a [...]
This morning I demonstrated a quick and easy one-pot dinner recipe for Dill Salmon to help raise awareness of multiple sclerosis and the Walk MS events coming this month around the country. In Colorado, I will be hosting the “Land of Nutrition” in the Wellness Tent at the Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder events in [...]
