I love the farmer’s market and I’m lucky to live in a town with a great one. It’s such fun to bike downtown and spend a leisurely morning browsing through all the fresh produce and wonderful specialty artisan foods offered by the vendors. All that beautiful food is a treat for the eyes as well [...]

It’s hot. The last thing I want to do is heat up the kitchen, or eat a big plate of steaming food. At times like this, I know the perfect food — gazpacho! It’s cool and delicious and absolutely positively guilt-free. Like anything, it’s best made with fresh-from-the-garden produce and herbs, but I often am [...]
Turkey Meatloaf

Meatloaf is classic midwestern comfort food, one of America’s favorite dishes. I’ve heard it said that one should never eat anyone’s meatloaf except your mother’s.

Gluten-free Cinnamon Rolls

I’m not a fan of food that tries to be something it’s not. For example, I never appreciated tofu hot dogs and tofurkey at Thanksgiving. There are whole strains of vegetarianism that adopt this approach, I know, but they leave me cold. You can eat wonderful vegetarian foods, delicious and satisfying in every way, without [...]
