Tonight I made a little cornmeal based soufflé   (I was feeling a bit fancy in the kitchen! Ha!) On vacation this summer, I enjoyed a very nice polenta dish that was sweet not savory…with little bits of corn added. It was so… good. So that dish was my inspiration! The recipe I made tonight might not […]

The sun is shining and I am excited to get outside!  It is very clear that the weather is taking a turn and the fall cool weather is in the air.  I love fall….but the winter that follows….not so much. This week I felt like roasting up some eggplant.  We didn’t have any eggplant in […]

It’s still officially summer, but I broke out my slow cooker today.  I think about slow cooker meals as an essential for the fall and winter ….so I am getting a bit of a jump start! 🙂 I tossed some chicken tenders, diced tomatoes, cumin, chipotle chili powder and 2 of my farm share bell […]

I whipped up a smoothie today with some ingredients I had on hand. Do you remember the Harry Nielsson song titled, Coconut? “You put de lime in de coconut, you drank ’em bot’ up “ Well that is exactly what I did…BUT I added some blueberries and yogurt too! {and of course, some chia seeds} I am […]

This recipe was sooooooo good.  For non-FODMAPs simply use regular pretzels, I used gluten free Snyder’s pretzels today.   Well…I feel like I have been away from my blog for some time now… We had a wonderfully blissful time in Nantucket last week on vacation.  It […]

Every Tuesday has become the Scarlata family fresh fish night.  I am so proud of myself 🙂 because I know how good fish is for the body, but I have never really gravitated toward eating it. I have to say, when you can get a fresh (never frozen, off the boat) piece of fish and […]

Every Tuesday, I pick up my CSA farm share at Tangerini’s Farm in Millis, Massachusetts. I call Tangerini’s ‘my happy place’ and truly… it really is! Rows of vegetables growing in the sunlight, kids enjoying soft serve ice cream, chickens clucking and little farm kittens running a muck! And the sunflowers are amazing! Every Tuesday, […]

I hope your week is off to a good start.  We started with a bit of rain this morning but the sun is shining which means I will take my furry friend Lucy for a walk shortly.  I love taking Lucy for a stroll during the day–she’s a good friend and walking buddy! Here’s she […]

Lauren Adler Dear, a very soon to be RD, provided this post for you.  Enjoy! Summer is the perfect time to get your grill on and try out some new recipes. Turkey burgers often come out dry and flavorless, but these Greek burgers are bursting with flavor! Serve them with Kate’s Simple Greek Quinoa recipe […]
