Roasted Potato Salad with Avocado Pesto

by Ricki Heller 47 Comments

I often wonder how many brilliant culinary creations are the result of neglected ingredients for which someone had no other use.  You know what I’m talking about: those Thursday afternoons when you start rummaging through the fridge to make dinner and all you can find are tofu, pumpkin and salad dressing. Or olives, prunes and […]

Chocolate Covered Fudgesicles (Sugar free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free, Vegan)

by Ricki Heller 77 Comments

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you likely know a few things about me already:  I adore my Girls (and you’re not too shabby, either, HH);  I abhor winter and all its accoutrements (and–*sob*–it is just around the corner!);  though it’s been many years, I still harbor resentment toward Rocker Guy (he […]

Muddy Caesar (Salad, that Is)

by Ricki Heller 34 Comments

Ah, summer.  How I remember the long, languid, carefree days infused with sunshine.  The kind of brightness that shimmers in mid-afternoon air, making the trees, the leaves, even the parked cars look as if they’re trembling with sheer joy. Easy living, with no boots or jackets or scarves or sweaters. Being able to think, “oh, I forgot to buy lemons,” […]

Mint Chip Ice Cream–No Ice Cream Maker Required!

by Ricki Heller 58 Comments

After reading through the comments on yesterday’s SOS Challenge reveal post (this month’s ingredient is MINT and Kim and I can’t wait to see what y’all cook up with it!), I realized I may have sounded perhaps a wee bit whiney about everything that’s going on in my life right now.  I certainly didn’t mean […]

Apple Pie Smoothie

by Ricki Heller 36 Comments

Thanks, everyone, for your great comments on yesterday’s post!  Honestly, I hadn’t thought that the “beeteroni” (thanks, Leah) was as far “out there” as it turned out to be, but am glad you liked the idea.  This ACD really does spark some unusual culinary adventures! [Quick housekeeping note before today’s post: I’ve been working on updating the blog and […]

Swamp Thing Smoothie*

* Or, Oddly Alluring Blend of Mudlike Green Vegetables to Clear Your Sinuses [Don’t you expect a giant, hairy, muddy hand to suddenly lurch from under the surface of that liquid, and grab you?] I’ve enjoyed green smoothies for several years now, and they’ve always been a staple when I need a quick and nutrient-rich breakfast.  […]

Flash in the Pan: Grilled Avocado on “Toast”

Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] I must […]

So Long, Summer: Chilled Avocado Soup

by Ricki Heller 21 Comments

Who could have ever guessed that our summer would FINALLY arrive on Labor Day Weekend?  The weather this past weekend was glorious: brilliant sunshine, sky entirely unsullied by even a speck of cloud, so blue even the dogs seemed able to perceive its piercing azure, colorblind or no.  The temperature’s been hovering at around 28C (that’s […]
