Classic Caesar Salad (gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free)

August 22, 2016 By Jessica

Classic Caesar Salad (gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free)

Caesar salad lovers rejoice!

Has it been way too long since you’ve had a caesar salad? A real caesar salad? Me too. This may not be the real thing but holy YUM is this close. You need this in your life, my friends.

If you think about it, there is really nothing original or unusual about a caesar salad yet it has been a popular starter since the 40’s. Some romaine lettuce leaves, dressing and cubed bread, yet when made with fresh garlic, crisp greens, and the right type of anchovy you have something extraordinary. This was one of my favorite salads way back when gluten and dairy were my so-called friends. And not something that can be made on-the-fly, you know. I tried. The catch: the dressing contains gluten, dairy, and egg. Oh right, that.  read more

Simple End of Summer Peach Arugula Salad

September 16, 2015 By Jessica

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

Chinese Chicken Salad

January 8, 2015 By Jessica

Chinese Chicken Salad

I adapted this Chinese Chicken Salad for dinner last night. I had the “original” (minus the noodles) while out with a friend at this popular pizza chain restaurant last week.  As I’m eating, I thought: “Why not make this salad for dinner? … something light after all the sweets we have been eating since Thanksgiving”.  Not that that’s all I have been feeding my brood, but it kinda feels that way. A light, easy dinner is just what we needed. read more

Black Rice with Curry Seasonal Vegetables

October 28, 2014 By Jessica

Black Rice with Curry Seasonal Vegetables

We had black rice with curried vegetables for dinner tonight. Black rice is a new food for our table. A food everyone embraced with enthusiasm, as they dug into a bowl of black and orange food. Fun food because it’s so out of the ordinary to see black rice on their plates. Or should I say Halloween food. It is Halloween week after all, why not have a little fun with food, right? read more

Cabbage Salad with Peanut Chili Maple Dressing

September 5, 2014 By Jessica

Cabbage Salad with Peanut Chili Maple Dressing

My favorite thing to order at Real Food Daily, a vegan restaurant in Los Angeles, is the yin yang salad. We are not vegan, but we go to vegan restaurants because we know there won’t be any issue with dairy accidentally getting into my children’s food. Living allergen-free and going out to eat don’t always work out well, so places like this are safer for us to go to. Most vegan restaurants have gluten free options. I know it can be confusing sometimes when I say dairy free and then post a chicken recipe. With some of my meatless recipes being egg-free I can share recipes with my vegan friends 🙂 read more

Watermelon Panzanella Salad

August 27, 2013 By Jessica

Watermelon Panzanella Salad

For a simple weeknight dinner that is full of seasonal bright flavors you must try my twist on a classic panzanella salad…with watermelon! You may think of watermelon as too sweet for this recipe, but let me tell you it’s really, really good in this salad. I will warn you that the croutons are addictive, I tend to pop more than a few in my mouth as I’m preparing the salad. I also make them for salads and grind them in the food processor for an herbed breadcrumb.  I serve this with a roast chicken as our protein… read more

Easy Millet Salad Recipe

June 5, 2013 By Jessica

Easy Millet Salad Recipe

Have you ever tried millet?

It tastes similar to quinoa, yet it has a little sweeter corn-like flavor, which I think goes well with so many ingredients. It also maintains a somewhat firmer texture when cooked than quinoa. I love that millet is alkalinizing to the body, easy to digest, and perfect for healing gastrointestinal issues. Not a claim, just according to research. I also love that it’s loaded with fiber, magnesium, phosphorus and protein. Yes, it’s healthy, super healthy but that doesn’t mean it tastes like tree bark! read more

Olive Chickpea Salad

February 27, 2013 By Jessica

Olive Chickpea Salad

Here is an olive chickpea salad that I just kind of throw together with whatever I have in the pantry. A huge hit around here with the Mediterranean flavors from the chickpeas and olives. We love simple salads. I don’t prepare many savory dishes based on a recipe, it’s more like whatever is in season or what I have in the fridge or pantry. The nice thing about living in California is that we have farmer’s markets every week with a wide selection of fresh seasonal produce. I use canned beans just because it’s so much easier. I envy those with the time to soak beans. This salad is satisfying on it’s own or as a side to anything really. Also really yummy in the summer as an oven-free meal. Enjoy! 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!
