There are so many Instant Pot Risotto recipes on the internet, that I’m not sure which one I used as my base recipe. Serves 4 to 6

Instant Pot Moroccan Style Chicken

When I posted about making preserved lemons, I got many comments wondering what I was going to do with the preserved lemons. With the preserved lemons being ready, I decided to make a Moroccan style chicken in my Instant Pot. I started out by making the recipe for the Moroccan spice blend (Ras el Hanout) […]

Lemon and Poppyseed Sourdough Nondairy Waffles

Bruce loves the lemon and poppyseed combination, so I thought I would make lemon and poppyseed waffles for breakfast this morning. This recipe is based on the King Arthur Sourdough Pancake or Waffles recipe. Serves 8

Southern Sweet Potato Waffles

This recipe is a modification of the waffle recipe from thestayathomechief.com. Bruce bought a chicken dinner that came with two sides.

Low FODMAP Cranberry Orange Chutney

I love tart cranberries when they are in season. It is so fun to make things with them. This year for Thanksgiving, I made this cranberry orange chutney to go with the lamb rib roast. Since 1 tablespoon of dried cranberries are fine for the low FODMAP diet, I felt that a few more fresh […]

Baby Salad Greens with Persimmons and Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing
