Slow Grilled Baby Back Ribs
The cooking time for these crowd-pleasing ribs is long but the effort is minimal – and the results are nothing short of finger-licking good! Though my husband doesn’t do a lot of cooking, his talents shine bright when it comes to the grill. He has the Midas touch when it comes to tender, juicy chicken…
Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler (gluten-free with an almond-oat topping)
Sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb are a match made in heaven in this easy-to-make dessert that is destined to become a seasonal favorite! In an effort to make my tried-and-true recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp into an equally loved gluten-free dessert for company a couple of years ago, I realized that I had essentially turned…
Favorite Thin Gluten-Free Pizza Crust
When planning a recent extended family birthday dinner, my sister-in-law joked that we are a pathetic bunch with the combined list of food restrictions. Gluten-free, dairy-free, seafood allergy, vegetarian, and allergies to soy and a few other common foods thrown in for good measure. Picky eaters are the least of our worries! But in all…

Smoked Mozzarella, Pancetta and Kale Pizza
Pizza night is always popular here. The kids and my husband have a few long-standing favorites, so a new recipe has to be really good to earn a spot in the regular rotation!

Pick-a-Grain Trail Mix Salad with Honey Yogurt Dressing
As part of a project with Stonyfield and Bob’s Red Mill (two companies with high-quality products and the nicest people behind the scenes, by the way), I was recently challenged to create a salad using one of the lesser known ancient grains–think amaranth, bulgur, farro, and sorghum–and yogurt. Loving the mild, nutty flavor and hearty…
Rustic Polenta Cake with Rhubarb
Rhubarb always reminds me of my grandmother. Late every spring, she froze rhubarb to enjoy throughout the year. To my grandmother, the word rhubarb did not just refer to the celery-like stalk, it was the actual recipe. Her rhubarb was just like applesauce, only red and with a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Though…

Rhubarb Pineapple Jam
Over the last couple weeks, I’ve noticed rhubarb reappearing at our local farmers markets. I have held out buying any as the two rhubarb plants in our backyard garden have been growing quickly. I marvel at how briskly rhubarb grows ever spring, from those first early leaves that poke out of the ground when it…
Strawberry Salad with Creamy Poppy Seed Yogurt Dressing
For many years, my father had a hush-hush arrangement with a stand holder at Lancaster Central Market. I only learned about it last year when he delivered a coveted box of the first homegrown strawberries after I had come home empty handed only hours before. After shopping at Market for sixty-plus years, my father…
