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….
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…
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 Easy Tortilla Soup
I am a soup girl. I usually make about two pots of soup every month. Not only does soup warm and satisfy. It can be a cost effective way to feed a family or large group. I have been searching for a better tortilla soup recipe, one that is easy to make and delivers big,…
Spiced up chicken thighs with GourGanics salsa and broccolini
Ready for serious skillet magic? I think I got the original recipe from Cooks magazine and modified it. I like to make this dish in my cast iron skillet but a nonstick is probably more practical. Use organic chicken thighs and broccolini for unique flavors that really pop. In case you were wondering what the…
GourGanics Pulled Pork with Black Beans and Mango for the slow cooker.
There’s nothing more delicious than a GourGanic pulled pork sandwich with mango and black beans. I served this recipe to a group of friends on Thursday and the crowds went wild. It’s easy, not as simple as some slow cooker recipes but definitely worth the extra time. Here’s what you need: 1 4-5 lb organic…
