Creamy brown rice pudding is the perfect vehicle for that extra half-gallon of milk that you need to use up—eat it warm or cold, with fresh or dried fruit, for breakfast or dessert!

Smoky Barbecue & Potato-Beet Gratin

| August 4, 2011

Succulent smoky chicken with peach barbecue sauce on the grill still can’t hold a candle to my potato-beet gratin, believe it or not!

A nicely balanced meal if I do say so myself: almond-crusted halibut cheeks with orange beurre blanc, broccoli, and sweet potato puree with coconut milk and almond butter.

pastaroulade_sliced

An incredibly labor-intensive dish, fresh pasta (my own egg-free version with garbanzo beans!) is filled jelly-roll style with ricotta, kale and ham, boiled like a sausage, and then sliced and baked with a rich tomato cream sauce. So worth the effort!

An unlikely combination—”oatmeal” and “souffle”—makes a delightfully unusual combination, especially when paired with a slightly tangy fruit sauce.
