Roasted kabocha squash dip

September 7, 2016 By KrisNeely

roasted kabocha squash dip

Summer seems to have evaporated this year. It’s like I blinked and July was over, and the same happened with August. Now it’s back to school time. What the….??! I’m always sad to see the end of summer, because it means that darker wetter weather will soon be taking over. But whether it’s summer or not,…

The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 1

July 1, 2012 By KrisNeely

Am I ready for this? I’m feeling a little anxious, not sure how this is going to go. I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on what I’m absolutely not allowed to eat. No bread, no rice, no corn, those are the big ones. Okay, got it. So lots of vegetables, no problem. And…

The Paleo Diet Challenge: My Plan

July 1, 2012 By KrisNeely

So when I say I’m following a Paleo diet, what exactly to I mean? Good question. It is a diet that follows what caveman ate over 2 million years ago — meat and fish, vegetables, fruit and nuts. It doesn’t include any grains, legumes, dairy products, or refined sugar. But, like many things, it turns…

The Paleo Diet Challenge

July 1, 2012 By KrisNeely

I wasn’t expecting to get quite so personal so early into the blog’s existence, but here goes. In the early 1990s I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease. I had no symptoms, aside from an inflamed thyroid gland. No explanation for why or how it happened, and no offer of any cure. The…

The Roasted Tomato Revelation

May 31, 2012 By EveJohnson

Ah yes, that family barbecue last August, when I thought I was being entirely rational in what I was cooking: my go-to puff pastry appetizer, from John Bishop and Dennis Green’s cookbook, Simply Bishop’s: Easy Seasonal Recipes smokies on the barbecue, with baked tomatoes, caramelized onions and a couple of mustard choices on the side…

Roasted Tomato Pizza Sauce

May 31, 2012 By KrisNeely

  There’s a saying that when the student is ready, the teacher appears. That’s kind of how it felt when you made the roasted tomatoes for that cheesy, puff pastry appetizer. I recently found a new pizza dough recipe and was eager to try it, but was hesitating because I’d never been able to make…

gorgonzola caramelized onion pear crostini ingredients

Mini Gorgonzola and Caramelized Onion Crostini with Pear

November 13, 2011 By KrisNeely

Ant, These were delicious. And festive too, a fitting complement to the bubbly we started the evening with. One thing I particularly liked was that the gorgonzola, caramelized onion and pear crostini were impressive, yet simple. Once the onions are done, assembly is quick and (bonus points!) can be done ahead of time. Something we…
