Kabotcha + Kuri Squash Autumn Soup

November 3, 2015 By Jessica

Kabotcha + Kuri Squash Autumn Soup

It’s November! Over the weekend, I have been a busy bee compiling my notes and jotting down my sweet and savory recipe ideas for Thanksgiving and I can’t wait to share them with you! Oh, the decisions … the best kind in life. This is my favorite time of the year to push my hectic life aside to enjoy the moments … loved ones, traditions, reflecting on the good things in life … and with that good food. read more

Sweet Potato and Red Onion with tahini and za’ atar

Sweet Potato and Red Onion with tahini and za’ atar

Given the amount of cookbooks I’ve collected over the years one would think a new recipe would be whipped up every day. Not every day, sometimes not for weeks. And then, as if something is in the air, I’m yearning to try all sorts of new recipes. When the mood strikes for Middle Eastern my go-to cookbooks are from Yotam Ottolenghi. I will admit, I’m not really one to go too far off the beaten path in terms of spices and such because, you know, children, weeknight dinners, and allergens. But sometimes cookbooks, like his, bring a sense of adventure and faraway travels to the table without being too fussy and far reach; or even objected by very cute little palettes and become family favorites. This is one of those recipes, and now a go-to recipe in our home. read more

Pumpkin Alfredo Chicken Skillet Pasta

Pumpkin Alfredo Chicken Skillet Pasta

As much as Target and Pinterest remind me that fall season has been here for two weeks now, I need to actually see piles of those charming pumpkins before I get into the fall season. Only then do I start thinking about hearty, comforting foods and oh yes, the scent of pumpkin spice in the air. It’s been too long. read more

Simple End of Summer Peach Arugula Salad

Simple End of Summer Peach Arugula Salad

Summer stone fruit has nearly run its’ course, which I take cue overstuffing my farmer’s markets bag (lucky to have this in southern California) without a care in the world as to what I’m going to do with them.

Stone fruit: they have a way of figuring these things out like ending up in this simple salad, or here or here. Though I’m a sucker for fruit desserts, I will admit sometimes there’s nothing better than leaning over the kitchen sink (preferably an empty sink) eating a big fat peach with its’ juices dripping down my chin, or arm, as I take a minute to enjoy the moment. read more

Shrimp Tacos with apricot salsa fresca and avocado crema {gluten free, dairy free, soy free}

September 2, 2015 By Jessica

Shrimp Tacos with apricot salsa fresca and avocado crema {gluten free, dairy free, soy free}

My boys love tacos, so do I… especially shrimp tacos. Tell me you love tacos, if you do you’re gonna LOVE this! My take is with apricots and a mean avocado cream sauce I call crema just to make it sound fancy.

Going out for some tacos at our local Mexican place is not so easy when allergies are involved — too many risks of contamination with all the flour and cheese lying around so I make them at home and let me tell you they are easy to make with just some prep work for the toppings. Even if you can eat all the gluten, and dairy with no problem you will still want to shovel eat this right up.  read more

Easy Cherry Quinoa Salad + Honey Ginger Dressing

Michael and Ely (my twin boys) started school today (5th grade already!), Mr. teenager started high school (yikes!) last week. With all three in school now I decided to take a breather for a minute to enjoy some quiet time sitting outside, slowly sipping my americano and letting the sounds of nature consume me. read more

Easy Green Enchiladas

Most days I’m thinking of something quick, and easy but also kid-friendly for dinner. I wish I could spend hours in the kitchen creating fabulous multi-step recipes but reality hits on those school days when I’m panicking because I need to get dinner on the table in less than an hour. read more

Light and Easy Spaghetti with Lemon, Fennel, Basil, and Langoustine

Light and Easy Spaghetti with Lemon, Fennel, Basil, and Langoustine

Light-and-Easy-Spaghetti-with-Langoustine-Lemon-and-Fennel-From-Jessicas-Kitchen

When I think of pasta I think big bowls smothered in sauce. And although most pasta dishes kind of make you wish you had those big, stretchy sweatpants on … not today. Light and easy is on my mind.

Can you believe this is Los Angeles? Need a pick-me-up.

In need of some of mother nature’s sunshine: lemons. Pasta, sans sauce, full of lemon and fennel with langoustine is dinner tonight. A light pasta perfectly suited for my slow and aging metabolism. read more

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Jessica, welcome to my blog! I'm a wife and mother of four (all boys, including twins. Did not see that coming!) who loves to eat. Discovering food intolerances in my family and myself had me think about cooking differently with an emphasis on nutrition, but not any less deliciously. No, won't settle for that, neither will my kids! Here you will find simple, healthy, seasonal recipes we love that are gluten, dairy, and soy free. Many are also egg free, nut free, plant-based and/or grain free, given our evolving dietary lifestyle. Even though we live a life of dietary restrictions, my passion for food keeps me on a constant quest to create tasty recipes or adapt our favorite recipes from my stack of cookbooks to bring back the joy of eating again, without sacrificing flavor. Hope you find some inspiration and recipes to enjoy ... thanks for stopping by!
