In addition, I made the crust Gluten-Free by using Vegan/GF Graham Crackers. This combination is every bit as wonderful and the tartelettes are extremely easy to make. Once you try a vegan…

Time to get out the Picnic Basket and enjoy the great outdoors! Sandwiches are a favorite to pack, and what better way to enjoy them than bringing a terrific side salad.

Roasted Beets, Sweet Potatoes, Butternut Squash and Yukon Golds
Our weather has been a bit erratic here in the Northeast. We have more cold days than warm so far this spring, and it feels more like fall. I am still cooking cool weather foods until the warmer days settle in. I actually decided to defrost a whole turkey I had in the freezer and…
