Mexican Scrambled Eggs with Black Beans, Salsa, and Corn Tortillas
A flavorful and filling breakfast, packed with nutrients and fiber. For the chili ingredient option below, I prefer poblano chilies for their flavor, but they vary from sweet to very spicy, and not every store carries them. Alternatives are canned green chilies or...
Green Beans with Sliced Almonds
June is peak season for green beans (also called French beans, string beans, and snap beans). They are rich in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Whether you blanch them, sauté them, eat them raw, or even after thawing them from the freezer, green beans are a...
Caribbean Fruit Salad with Orange Liqueur
In the French Caribbean islands, we were frequently offered a delightful fruit salad with orange liqueur for dessert—simple yet amazing. You can include any fruits you have handy, but in this recipe, I focused on the commonly served Caribbean fruits: mango, pineapple,...
Callaloo Soup with Nutmeg, Bay Leaf, and Coconut Milk
My favorite soup while sailing along the eastern Caribbean island chain was Callaloo Soup with a gentle blend of Caribbean spices. It is easy to prepare, savory, and flavorful. Callaloo leaves come from taro or amaranth plants. The leaves are packed with healthy...
Tamarind Chicken with Mixed Vegetables and Pineapple
Tamarind adds a lovely flavor to dishes. Tamarind trees grow throughout the Caribbean, and after peeling and discarding the outer shells from the dried tamarind pods, it makes a delightful snack. In this recipe, you can substitute shrimp or tofu for the chicken if...
Caribbean Piña Colada
Piña Coladas appear to be one of the more popular drinks in the Caribbean. I have to admit that I am not a great fan of mixed drinks using hard liquor, as I cannot think of any health benefits to hard liquor, and there are several health risks if used regularly. But...
Caribbean Pineapple Curry
I first saw this dish on a menu on the island of Dominica, home to the most centenarians on the planet, and was eager to try it. The flavors are fantastic, serving it in a carved-out pineapple shell really added flavor, not to mention, a lovely presentation. For...
Caribbean Mixed Salad
There are numerous variations on this easy-to-prepare salad, yet fresh greens, pineapple, andavocado seem to be the central theme with additional fresh vegetables and fruit as available. As an example, if you can’t find star fruit, consider using sliced grapefruit...
Caribbean Fish Ceviche with Coconut Milk
This dish originates from French Polynesia (Tahiti) where the fish is served nearly raw with perhaps 15-20 minutes of marinating time in lime juice—which is easier to do when you catch the fish (typically tuna) the same day and keep it on ice. From my restaurant...
Apple Pie with a Gluten Free Crust
For a special occasion, I enjoy baking an apple pie and sharing with friends and family. This crust is much healthier without the inflammatory gluten compounds and it has a lower glycemic load than you would find with a traditional wheat flour crust. Yet for me this...
Quiche with Mushrooms, Onion, and Spinach—Gluten Free
People have been making quiche for hundreds of years. You can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is served for take-out, in fine restaurants, and with a little time is relatively easy to make at home. It is loaded with dairy, so please choose organic dairy...
Cauliflower, Cheese, and Burger Casserole
Casseroles are inviting, especially on a cold day. The oven warms the kitchen, sending a delicious aroma through the house, and the rich food is deeply satisfying for the whole family, plus this dish is easy to prepare. Traditionally this type of casserole would use...
Gluten-Free Crab Cakes
I have always liked crab cakes but have felt that the traditional use of breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs has ruined them by adding gluten and a large sugar load. In contrast, here is a lovely recipe, easy-to-make, delicious, and both gluten-free and low in refined...
Roasted Chicken with Wild Mushroom-Saffron Sauce
This recipe has been adapted from a delightful dish that Nicole and I enjoyed on the Atlantic Coast of Spain, which was made with quail and a mushroom-saffron sauce. It is easy to prepare and has a lovely and delicate flavor. I am assuming that most people would have...
Shrimp and Avocado Cocktail
Avocados are in season in Florida, and I am looking for ways to use these delicious and super healthy fruits. This is a variation of a recipe that we enjoyed in Spain, easy to prepare and terrific to eat. Prep Time: 15 Minutes Serves: 4 as an appetizer Ingredients: 2...
Chili
As the heat of summer abates, I look forward to making a pot of chili. This recipe is healthy and flavorful, and you have the option to make it with organic ground turkey; using grass-fed, pasture-raised ground sirloin; or make it vegetarian. There is some debate as...
Healthy Southwest Avocado Bean Salad
This recipe is from The Fitchen, a great place for healthy, simple recipes that help you stay fit in the kitchen. There you’ll find mostly plant-based and gluten-free recipes. If you have a delicious and healthy recipe that you would like to share please send a recipe...
Sicilian Orange Salad
We were served this delightful salad multiple times in Sicily. It is very refreshing on a hot day. Depending upon who is making it, fennel is optional, sometimes the onion is white and sometimes red, but it always has the orange wedges, parsley, and olive oil. Some...
