It’s hot hot hot here in good old Fairfield Ct. We wanted to make a simple pasta salad that we can serve cold and dine on all weekend long. Our favorite thing about pasta salads is the versatility of this dish. It’s great as a main dish after gardening on a hot day, and it…
Homemade gluten-free tortillas, cheese and chips.
It’s the last day of school, finally. The kids are done. Mom is done. The teachers in the Fairfield Connecticut School system are ALL DONE. We enjoyed a few backyard parties with the kids this afternoon and ended up bringing Dom’s buddy Finn home with us. Know what is really awesome about Finn? His enthusiasm….
Spicy Tom Yum Soup hot and sour soup after rainy day at the beach
Today was one of those awesome “celebration” type times that my kids look forward to. It was “beach day” for our 5th graders. Well, guess what…it was murky and rainy and still a lot of fun. I decided to make a soup that could be described the same way. GourGanics Tom Yam or Tom Yum…
GLUTEN-FREE GourGanics Chicken Stronganoff with Organic Brown Rice and Sweet Potatoes
My mom used to make Beef Stroganoff with mushrooms, chunks of beef and sour cream, and serve it over white egg noodles. It was divine. I don’t eat much beef these days–and when I do it’s really high quality Grass Fed. So I once modified Mom’s recipe into chicken stroganoff using juicy chicken thighs. Believe…
Spicy Beanless Minestrone–a great first tofu dish, and very economical.
This recipe is totally Zen: one pot. 20 minutes or so. Done. Costs little. Feeds many. Loves all. Another odd weather day for June in Connecticut. Last week I was sweating and thinking I planted my garden too late, this week I fear another frost! Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration but, you get the point,…
Spicy Vegan Stirfry Stew
Many of the people who love GourGanics are vegan. I love to eat clean and do it often. Tonight we made the most delicious stew using wonderful tofu made right here in Middleton Ct by The Bridge. It’s got a creamy texture yet it’s firm enough to cook up and stand out in a crowd…
Chili on a Cloud for the Lucky Literati at Black Rock Book Group
Like chili? You’ll love chili on a cloud. It’s a warm and creamy appetizer that will have your guests scraping the dish looking for more when it’s all gone. What we like best about this is the gooey factor. The layers of cream cheese and chili meld into some amazing bites of Organic YUM. I…
Cinco de Mayo Salad
Who says you can’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo on May 25th? This salad has great character and structure–just like GourGanics Spicy Salsa. Here’s how to create a completely delicious salad that I often serve as a light meal. Red Bell peppers and avocado make this salad as colorful and bright as the Mexican Flag! Here’s…
Gourganics Savory Banana Fritters or Tortitas de pla’tano
Who doesn’t love a good fritter? I accidentally bought too many ripe bananas one day. I was able to grab this recipe from Larousse Mexican Cookbook by Sue Style. I adapted her fine recipe to our family taste and added GourGanics as a dipping sauce. So fun, strange and yummy for my Gringo family palate!…
GourGanics KONRADICAL Taco Casserole
If your family loves tacos, this recipe will rock their world. My excessively cool nephew Konrad is a serious Taco fan. He is way cooler than me. I’m planning to add this to tomorrow night’s menu as we share a family meal. Grass-fed beef is always best! Here’s whatcha need: 1 pound grass-fed ground beef…
