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 Vegetarian Tamales
Have you ever made homemade tamales? This is very fun, simple enough more work than most recipes here but oh so delicious. This is an Old Guatemalan recipe that I have adapted from Vegetarian Times Magazine. Some Latin markets and Whole Foods carry frozen banana leaves (many organic). Here’s whatcha need: Flour (MASA) 3 1/2…
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…
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 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 Salsa and Ricotta Stuffed Peppers
These stuffed peppers are not only delicious, they are so pretty and fun to eat. I love to make these any time of year but they sure do add a splash of bold color as a holiday side dish. It’s a fun project that yields easy results with very little work. My nine-year old daughter…
Noel’s spicy roasted shrimp cocktail
Our new friend Noel of Kilroy’s Wonder Market in Glen Rock, New Jersey loves to use GourGanics as a cocktail sauce. We tried it. DELICIOUS! For a different zip than you get from a traditional cocktail sauce or if you have friends who don’t love the taste of horseradish, simply chill your GourGanics until it’s…
Easy Queso, GourGanic style
Chile con queso is gooey, groovy and yumilicious. We serve it alongside our tacos, dip in chips—we’ve even been known to add it to hot noodles for a spicy and clever mac and cheese. But usually, this dip requires a lot of mixing of spices and extra steps that add flavor. Gour Ganics salsa is…
