I’m going to say this riiiiight up front before the mansplainers and their ilk show up: this hot smoked salmon recipe isn’t one for the purists. I’ve called it “same day” hot smoked salmon for a reason. It isn’t your standard, days long method that necessitates huge planning and a salmon fillet taking residence in […]
Eggless Chicken & Avocado Caesar Salad
It does seem, if you spend any time around food on social media at all, that there are pretty much two options in life when it comes to jazzing up simple recipes: #putaneggonit or adding avocado. And while I do hate to jump on a silly trend – you won’t find me making mermaid toast […]
Sweet Potato Rice Pilaf with Lemon, Olives & Raisins

Yes, both recipes really are nightshade free! But both recipes have that can’t-quite-put-my-finger-on-it flavor of a classic tomato […]
Spicy Orange Shrimp Tacos with Fennel Slaw & Avocado Cream

Winter Citrus Salad with Shrimp, Avocado & Lemon Basil Vinaigrette
In typical Rach-fashion, I’m posting a Winter Citrus Salad now that Spring has shown up. I’m contrary (or disorganized) like that. Honestly, the words “winter citrus salad” are the kind of thing that make me question whether I knew anything at all about food. Because, seriously, who the hell slices oranges and calls that shit […]
