Gluten-Free Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Gluten-Free Lemon Ricotta Pancakes by Alison Needham

My kids are going back to school in a couple of weeks. My kids are going back to school in a couple of weeks!!! That is both good and bad news, of course. I’ll miss our late nights, sleeping in and general lack of schedule. But I’ll be thrilled to have a little more time to myself. It really is hard to get stuff done with piles of…

Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread

Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread by Alison Needham

I am of the firm belief that the idea of zucchini is much better than the reality. That one can gently press a small seed, no bigger than a fingernail, an inch into the garden soil and get such a enormous, blossoming, fruiting vine is nothing but a small miracle. But after the first half-dozen or so, my eyes glaze over and I shudder…

Pure Mint Chip Ice Cream

Pure Mint Chip Ice Cream by Alison Needham

If my kids had it their way, ice cream would be a food group, or an entire meal. And in the dog days of summer, I can hardly disagree. There is nothing quite as satisfying as its cold, creamy goodness, especially when it’s made from pure and fresh ingredients.In summer, we often find ourselves with hoards of others in long queues…

Strawberry Basil Paletas

Strawberry Basil Paletas by Alison Needham

Hell’s bells…it’s HOT in these parts! It’s 100 degrees hot, with a dry wind that’s very reminiscent of a blow dryer. The air conditioner is cranking, and quite frankly so is my mood. So I think it’s high time for some paletas.What are paletas, you might ask? Paletas are Mexcan ice pops, usually made from pureed fruits. If you’ve ever…

Real Deal Apple Martini & a G-Free Foodie Giveaway

Real Deal Apple Martini & a G-Free Foodie Giveaway by Alison Needham

Yes, I know it’s a MONDAY and I usually share a cocktail recipe on FRIDAY, but it’s summer. And in summer one has the risk of losing track of days, losing track of time, losing track of her children. (OK that only happened once). In summer, we have the freedom to mix it up a little…to go wild and do things out of order (like have…

Dilly Salmon Salad on Cucumber Rounds

Dilly Salmon Salad on Cucumber Rounds by Alison Needham

I do not love leftover fish. At all. In fact, it completely freaks me out. I don’t really know what my deal is, but perhaps it’s because I’m a late-in-life seafood lover. Growing up my mom never made it (allergies), so I didn’t realize I even liked fish until I was a young adult. Even then, I was the kind of person who didn’t like…

Chai Spiced Coconut Ice Cream

Chai Spiced Coconut Ice Cream by Alison Needham

Seems like everybody is free of something these days, except food allergies. Gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, fruit-free (yes, I actually just met someone who is allergic to all fruits)–you name it, and I’m sure there’s someone out there who is allergic to it. I used to think that allergies were tiresome excuses for a person to be…

Pulled BBQ Chicken w/ Kitchen Sink Sauce

Pulled BBQ Chicken w/ Kitchen Sink Sauce by Alison Needham

Hello summer! Can you believe it? My kids have exactly one more week of school–and honestly, I’m not sure whether to jump for joy or cry. Memorial Day is the unofficial kick-off to summer, and though we don’t have a lot of plans to celebrate, I’m sure our weekend will involve some combination of swimming, badminton and smoking…
