Quiches always leave me feeling greasy and bloated. This one, my friends, is different. The crust is crunchy-chewy (healthy and gluten-free) quinoa, and the midsection is filled with garlicky chunks of broccoli and the sharp tang of Cheddar. And, as my 7-year-old daughter proved, this is a quiche kids love, too.
A crispy, succulent take on a classic pommes Anna–only with root vegetables instead of potatoes … think of it as a naked gratin.
Chef Louis Maldonado of Spoonbar here in Healdsburg, and most recently of Top Chef fame, turned me on to rice porridge. I conjured this one up recently and gave it a creamy spin with the addition of coconut milk.
Want to make bread at home? It’s easy with this this no-knead bread recipe that lets time and yeast do most of the work for you.
This coleslaw is super simple, crazy versatile, and so good I could eat the whole bowl by itself. Serve it on our Spicy Fish Tacos, as a side with poultry or as a kick-ass sandwich condiment.
Lia used to make this Greek salad at the “Souvlaki Stand” where she worked on the island of Corfu. It’s the epitome of summer vegetables in their simple glory.
Not everyone is an eggplant lover. But this may change that. Long, slender Asian eggplant are no-fuss, and soak up the spicy, sweet, sticky sauce they’re doused with when creamy and tender. This is a hearty vegetarian main course paired with brown rice, quinoa, or even wheat berries, but would also make a terrific side dish.
This tomato salad is the perfect fresh-from-the-garden all-purpose side dish for the season. It’s bursting with green beans, tomatoes, corn and cucumbers, with toothsome bulgur adding just a touch of heft (and healthy whole grain) while soaking up the tangy dressing.
This healthy potato salad recipe has all the fixins you love — sour cream, bacon, chives, and even goat cheese. Take it to your Fourth of July picnic or any summertime backyard barbecue.
Fregola is an Italian rolled pasta similar to Israeli couscous, and it’s wonderfully toothsome in this salad. If you can’t find fregola (or wanted to go gluten free), millet would be a great substitute. Top with a few chunks of good quality tuna packed in olive oil and you’ve got a nice, hearty, nourishing meal.
Carrots starring in a main dish? You bet! This vegan entree is inspired by Deborah Madison’s terrific new book, “Vegetable Literacy.”
