Coconutty Turkey Nuggets with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce - Paleo and Gluten-Free (inspiredrd.com)

I can’t take credit for these tasty nuggets.  My mom made a batch and sent a container home with me a few weeks ago. They were for the kids. I ate them all. Oops.   I thought I should make it up to them, so I made a batch.  Then another.  Then another.  We have [...]

Beet Greens & Pecan Pesto via InspiredRD.com

I remember the first time I set out to make my own pesto. I had seen TV chefs make it for years, and it seemed pretty simple. Plus, pesto is yum, and I wanted to eat more of it. I headed to the store and grabbed a bunch of basil and a hunk of parmesan. [...]

Best Ever Veggie Dip

March 5, 2013
Almond Butter + Sriracha = Best Ever Veggie Dip from InspiredRD.com

I can’t take credit for this idea.  My friend and fellow celiac Shannon told me about this unlikely pairing last summer, and I have been devouring it ever since. Sounds weird, doesn’t it?  I promise, it’s so good.  Just be sure to portion some out on a plate, or you’ll end up eating the entire bowl. [...]

Endive Salad Bites

Endive Salad Bites by InspiredRD.com

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the urge to purge.  Organize.  Clean.  I couldn’t figure out why, especially since I’m not an organized person at heart.  Then it hit me: I’m nesting. No, not that kind of nesting. Spring Training starts this week.  Which means a huge shift in our schedule, and the start [...]

Turnip & Sweet Potato Pancakes from InspiredRD.com

Have you ever tasted a turnip?  Hey now, don’t turn up your nose at me (get it?).  I promise, they’re really quite good.  I had only tried them once or twice before as part of a root vegetable gratin, so when I found the bunch of turnips in my Agritopia CSA basket, I wondered what [...]

French Breakfast Radishes with Avocado on Toast from InspiredRD.com

One of the first things we planted in our community garden was a variety of radishes.  Not something I buy from the store very often, but surprisingly exciting to pull out of the ground and nibble on.  Our first few radishes were small, pulled up by tiny hands, beautifully pink and purple.  Joe and Leila [...]

Hazelnut Basil Pesto from InspiredRD.com #glutenfree #dairyfree

If you’ve ever met me, you might know I tend to geek out a little bit when it comes to local food.  In fact, you might even call me a farm groupie.  There’s just something about knowing where your food comes from and having conversations with the people who grow it.  Imagine my delight when [...]

Happy College Football Kickoff Day!  Who are you rooting for (or do you even care)?  I was born and bred an Oklahoma Sooner.  In fact, I’m pretty sure some of my first words were “Boomer Sooner”.  Growing up in Kansas surrounded by Jayhawks and Wildcats was a little tough, but I always wore my crimson [...]

From the Vault: Pineapple Salsa

June 26, 2012
Pineapple Salsa from InspiredRD.com

Remember when I told you about the fact that I’m a piler, not an organizer?  Well, this holds true to computer files too.  It’s the reason Jeff and I can’t share a computer.  His desktop is perfectly organized with maybe one or two folders on the main screen.  Mine?  You can’t even see the background [...]
