RECIPES
BAKED FETA PASTA
I saw the viral feta pasta recipe go round and round TikTok and Instagram, it didn’t really peak my interest until I saw Top Chef alum, Joe Sasto recreate it with olives… pshhooooooooffff mind blown. My grocery list quickly became feta heavy and I was amped to make this baked cheese delight.
TOMATO SOUP
This tomato soup is allium free, gluten-free, and dairy-free. It requires a few ingredients, your oven, stovetop, and an immersion blender. The most complicated part of this recipe is the need to use more than 1 kitchen appliance.
GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
I’m not a baker but really want to get a solid #glutenfree chocolate chip cookie recipe in my repertoire. I tried My Gluten-Free Kitchen's chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe and it didn’t disappoint. I’ll be making these again and again.
SPAGHETTI VONGOLE
I’ve been working on perfecting my Spaghetti Vongole and think this version is pretty perfect. I always found this dish intimidating to make until I made it. It’s deceptively simple, full of flavor and requires you to use too many pots and pans but it’s worth it. This recipe is enough for two people, you can double it for more.
TURKEY BOLOGNESE (ISH)
This Bolognese (ish) sauce was born out of what we had in the fridge. The carrots and peppers make the sauce sweet and pairs really well with the ground turkey. Maple syrup may seem like a weird ingredient here but it helps balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Mangia! I hope you make this and enjoy.
BALSAMIC BRUSSELS
We went for dinner at my friend Daniela’s house one evening and she made the most delicious roasted brussels sprouts. I immediately asked her for the recipe. Turns out these aren’t only delicious but easy to make. Here’s what you need.
GLUTEN-FREE STAPLES
Must have gluten-free pantry staples, so good you'll fool people who eat gluten! I thought going gluten-free would be a full-on nightmare and I’d cry missing pasta and french bread. Well, I do miss french bread. These gluten-free brands do an excellent job of recreating the right consistency for g-free substitutes. Trust me, I’ve tried them all.
MY FAVORITE HOT SAUCES
There are so many hot sauces to choose from, how do you lock in safe varieties that won’t cause a reaction. Leave it to me! I’ve been emailing companies and taste testing hot sauces so you don’t have to. These are hands down the best garlic free and gluten-free hot sauces.
CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE
I miss and love Entenmann’s Chocolate Chip Crumb Loaf. While this recipe is lacking the crumbs (working on that) it’s taken me 4-5 bakes to finally get this recipe right. Yes, we’re using a pre-made cake mix but we’re completely ignoring the directions and changing the ingredients to make it even better!
PANTRY PERFECT SPAGHETTI
This recipe is equal parts farm and pantry. We picked up cherry tomatoes and mozzarella from the farm and paired them with all of our favorite garlic free pantry staples. This dish is simple, filling and easy to make for a hearty vegetarian meal.
STIR-FRY WAGYU BEEF + VEGGIES
I’ve been craving sir-fry and Chinese food for weeks! One day I decided to throw all caution to the wind and try to make stir fried beef and veggies, This turned out really flavorful and tasty. Here’s what you’ll need
SPICY RICE VINEGAR PICKLES
These are ahhhhhmazing. I’ve tried making homemade pickles with every vinegar under the sun and always come back to this recipe. It’s so delicious, tangy, and flavorful.
SESAME-SOY SALMON
I could eat this dish every night. It’s flavorful, light, and delicious. My husband and I always think we’ll have leftovers then devour the entire meal. It’s easy to make, I hope you love it as much as we do.
GLUTEN-FREE PANCAKES
Check out these gluten-free beauties! I’ve tinkered with gluten-free pancake recipes over the years because g-free pancakes can be a lil mushy and not that great. Fast forward to me finally locking down the perfect recipe. I hope you love these!
GREEK SALAD WITH CHICKEN
I wanted to re-create one of my favorite sandwiches from college, on Northeastern’s campus there was greek food cart owned by the nicest guy. He made delicious Greek salad sandwiches wrapped in freshly baked pitas. I honestly can still taste how good they were.
SAM’S BANANA BREAD
We had a few overly ripe bananas sitting on the kitchen counter and instead of tossing them aside, I looked up some Banana Bread recipes. I landed on BA’s Best Banana Bread and then tweaked it to make it my own.
MUST MAKE HUMMUS
Finding a garlic-free hummus would be like finding a unicorn, I've never seen one at a restaurant or in a store. There may be “sweet” hummus varieties made without garlic, but hummus isn’t meant to be sweet. Truly missing hummus, I was determined to figure out how to make the best garlic-free hummus.
STRAWBERRY SALSA
You never knew you needed strawberry salsa in your life until right now. While grilling chicken for some tacos I took stock of what we had on hand to make pico or salsa and wound up with Strawberry Salsa!
LET’S EAT PIZZA!
New York is known for its pizza. No other city in America can compare, I mean I’m biased but it’s true. Here are my favorite places for pizza in NY that are garlic-free and many have gluten-free options! You’ll have to avoid the generic dollar slice spots as they all use garlic powder in their sauce.
