This is the densest, richest, chunkiest and perfectly wonderful Gluten-Free carrot cake with easiest, most luscious cream cheese frosting I’ve ever found. It’s easy to make and very forgiving but it’s not for wimps. It will make you forget all those airy, light and boring carrot cakes you’ve ever had to suffer through. You don’t just eat this carrot cake…you chow down.

Perfect Pesto
Just 5 ingredients. Fresh basil, garlic, toasted pine nuts (or almonds or walnuts), olive oil and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Pine nuts can be ridiculously expensive so feel free to use almonds or walnuts for equally delicious Pesto!
It’s summer and your basil is deeply green and vibrant and just begging to be turned into pesto. It’s a classic sauce that adds amazing flavor and zing to so many dishes and best of all, it’s ridiculously easy to make! Five ingredients and 10 minutes and you can indulge in one of summer’s easiest and most versatile treats.
Toss your pesto with hot whole grain pasta, use with sauteed chicken breasts, make pasta salad, drizzle over sliced tomatoes and mozzarella or slather it on toasted ciabatta bread with slices of grilled eggplant, roasted peppers and provolone cheese. It’s unbelievable on hot corn on the cob. Seriously. The possibilities are endless.
Chicken Chili
Some nights I crave spicy, southwestern flavors like warm chili and hot jalapenos, cool avocados and smooth sour cream. And when I have a craving, I want to satisfy it fast-in an hour or less.
So, with that in mind, let me offer my favorite chicken chili recipe, ready in about an hour, full of flavor and perfect for a crowd.
Cool and Creamy Beet Borscht
My favorite and most beautiful way of eating beets is in this luscious, fuschia, dill infused lemony beet borscht. Most people think of borscht as a hot winter soup rich with beef and cabbage and indeed, it is. This is the light, cold and summery version. The best part of this soup is no cooking other than the beets. Enjoy!
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Easy, filling and so delicious, Chicken Tortilla Soup is heaven in a cup.
