This week has been a doozy for us here at GourGanics. We lost a good family friend and Sarah for one, is feeling run down (headache and runny nose) and generally sad and bummed out. We all get that way. But what to do? One of the best ways to chase the sniffles away and…
GourGanics HAPPY SUMMER Mahi Mahi Mango Fish Tacos
I love a good fish taco. You can go out for tacos right here in Fairfield, CT. If you are local, I suggest the Mahi Mahi fish tacos at Bodega. I tried my first fish taco in California about 16 years ago and I was hooked. Pun intended. I loved crispy crunch of a deep-fried…
GourGanics very-spicy-slightly-misogynistic eggplant tapanade
With apologies to Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan! I made some homemade tapanade yesterday based on a recipe I found on the Gluten-free goddess Website. And I thought it was missing a little flavor but I loved the consistency and texture. So I tossed in a half of a jar of our local GourGanics USDA…
Lobster with Angel Hair, Lemon and Spicy GourGanics
We are on Cape Cod enjoying an amazing week of good weather, food and family time. We ordered up three (3 lb) select lobsters, steamed and cracked and ate our fill with my Mom, Memere. Nobody can get more meat out of a lobster than Mem. So after we ate, she and I picked the…
GourGanics Spicy Poached Salmon
Last night we had the most delicious spicy poached salmon. Here’s the deal, I have a “nose” issue when it comes to cooking fish indoors. This recipe calls for high quality fish that is a little expensive, but it can be prepared in 10 minutes or less, and it doesn’t stink up the house the…
News Channel 12 Recipe GourGanics Stewed Chicken
This is the one I prepared for News 12 on the segment running all weekend. Simple and satisfying. Make it in minutes and take advantage to the hours I put into the creation of this simmer sauce. It’s great for a quick meal after a long day of play at the beach. It tastes like…
GourGanics Spicy Shrimp Dip
This a fun, spicy, salty and crunchy take on a traditional shrimp cocktail. It can be either elegant or rustic, depending upon how you serve it– fancy china or pretty glass bowls? You can also choose dainty little crackers or monster-sized tortilla chips as the vehicle that drives all this spicy shrimp and salsa goodness…
simple salsa bagel spread
Mix 5 tablespoons of GourGanics mild or spicy and an 8 0z block of cream cheese or a vegan cheese product. You can spread it on your bagel or serve it on a nice cracker for a simple, satisfying appetizer.
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 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,…
