Black Bean and Chick Pea Salad: Protein-Packed and Delicious!

Originally posted on Delicious Daydreams:
I’ve recently been eating a ton of legumes. I love how versatile they are and how easy they are to have on hand. I keep them dried in my pantry and even a few cans of organic, low-sodium options for when I’m in a rush. And, when it’s this stinking…

Organized Chaos in Our Kitchen: Making the Most of a Small Space

Originally posted on Delicious Daydreams:
I walked in to our kitchen on Sunday morning and noticed how beautiful the light looked streaming through the window. I followed the sun’s early morning rays along the wall until the stream was no more and all of a sudden realized how well-equipped our kitchen is. I mean, we…

Organic and Gluten-Free Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry with Rice Noodles

Originally posted on Delicious Daydreams:
When all else fails, stir fry is a crowd pleaser. My dearest gluten-free friend makes a lot of stir fries because there are not many gluten-free things that her whole family will eat. So, as I’d posted about before, we made her gluten-free stir fry sauce and then prepped all…

BBQ Chicken Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Peppers and Jalapeños

Originally posted on Delicious Daydreams:
Pizza is a staple around here. We just love it. It’s tactile, it’s delicious, and it smells amazing. Last night, there was a bit of a dinner discrepancy. I wanted BBQ, and he wanted pizza. BBQ Chicken Pizza made us both winners! We began with the same basic pizza crust…

Nothing Beats Local, Farm-Raised, Low Carbon Footprint, Free-Range Eggs

Originally posted on Delicious Daydreams:
There’s something about real eggs. Eggs can be truly glorious. And when I say eggs, I’m not talking about the slimy junk in containers or the thin-shelled, vitamin-deficient yellow blobs that come from conventional chicken farms hundreds of miles away. I mean EGGS…the kind that still have a bit of…

Quick-Fix Dinner: Tuna with Olive Oil, Garlic, Sundried Tomatoes, and Capers

Originally posted on Delicious Daydreams:
If there’s anything I love, it’s a dinner that I can make from ingredients I keep in the house. It’s very forgiving, and so very tasty. And I owe its creation to my friend Joe. We have shared many a bottle of wine over this meal. Yes, I’ve added to…

Eastern Black Swallowtail Butterfly on Zinnias in my Organic Florida Garden

What a spectacular sight! In a moment of sunshine on an otherwise rainy day, I spotted an Eastern Black Swallowtail on a Zinnia. My previous post was about the caterpillars that are loving my flowering parsley, and I was just awestruck at the sight of one fully grown. Happy Summer, everyone! Continue reading →
