Zucchini noodles (or zoodles) are easy to pull off, if you own a spiralizer. This recipe is based on the Spiralized Zucchini Noodles with Lemon and Caper Butter from Umami Girl (Hey Grrrrl, thanks). It was easy and tasted fabulous. I can see it being…
I love red cabbage and it’s good for you! Tangy and sweet, this German red cabbage and apple recipe makes a satisfying side dish that goes well with meats or a vegetarian rice bowl. I based the recipe on German Red Cabbage recipe from A…
Egg-free, gluten-free potato croquettes are a tasty and easy treat (think Tatter Tots without the crap in them). If you’ve got left over mashed potatoes or potatoes that need to be used before they go off, this is a great recipe. Ingredients 4-6 cups russet…
