Radish butter is one of those recipes that’s so simple it’s almost a ‘no recipe’ kind of recipe: radishes, butter whipped with herbs, salt, pepper. I told you. With three simple ingredients you can turn the lowly, nearly forgotten radish, into something worthy of spreading on a baguette – or […]

GRAIN-FREE VEGETARIAN NOODLES
The Professor and I have been eating grain-free for nearly 3 years now; it’s been a game-changer in how we feel and has helped reduce the inflammation in our bodies. When we transitioned from gluten-free meals to grain-free meals, we initially made small changes – but over time, these changes […]
EASY DUCK FRITES WITH TZATZIKI CLASSIC DIPPING SAUCE
*Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Sabra. All content and opinions are always my own. We’re in the last few months of this year, friends . . . what-the-what?! Summer is winding down and I have to admit, it’s been a good one for us Smith Bites. Work projects haven’t […]
GLUTEN-FREE CROSTINI WITH BLACK PEPPER HUMMUS AND CAULIFLOWER
*This post is sponsored by Sabra for National Hummus Day. All content and opinions are always my own. One would think that life without children means we have all the time in the world to bake, garden, read, lounge, visit family or other various and sundry activities; however, mid-life is […]
GLUTEN-FREE FRESH CORN CAKES WITH GUACAMOLE
These little corn cakes are quite tasty – we’ve made them during the winter months with frozen corn but I have to say, made with fresh, just-picked, milky sweet corn, a little splash of kefir for a bit of tang, a little heat from green chilies and topped with a […]
5-INGREDIENT ASIAN-INSPIRED BBQ SAUCE (AND IT’S GLUTEN-FREE!)
We managed to make it through The Professor’s first year of teaching at a new university – but wow, this year has sped by super fast!! He’ll continue to teach this summer but with a lighter student load and shorter days which means we’ll have more time for the garden […]
ASPARAGUS AND STRAWBERRY SALAD and THE B.T.C.
In 2010 Alexe van Beuren and her husband turned a historic building into a grocery store filled with hopes and dreams, glass-bottled milk, Cora’s fried pies and local produce. But failure seemed imminent until 5-star chef Dixie Grimes walked through the doors looking for a job – and within a […]
GLUTEN-FREE CREAMED MUSHROOM & FRESH THYME PIZZA
It’s February, it’s Valentine’s Day week, it’s cold outside and there’s snow on the ground – pretty typical here in the Midwest. What’s not typical here in the Midwest, at least in this house, is that The Professor and I began a new exercise program in January and . . […]
GLUTEN-FREE CHICKPEA, TOMATO AND BREAD SOUP
Today began rather early – 3:30am to be exact; one of those nights where sleep is restless as I process the tasks completed yesterday as well as those left undone. I dozed from 6-7:30 and then it was time to be an adult. ‘Please don’t make me adult today’, I […]
GLUTEN FREE APPLE CHAI SPICED SCONES
We’re in the throws of winter here in the Midwest – although we managed to dodge big blizzard, ‘Jonas’, of 2016 and for that I am grateful (I mean seriously, 40-inches of snow in 24 hours?!!). However, there is something to be said about being snowbound while the white stuff tumbles […]
WARM CARAMELIZED ONION-HUMMUS DIP WITH SEASONED CHIPS
One last post for 2015; every year I get to the end of December and marvel at how fast the year sped by and then I scroll through my Instagram feed smiling at all the wonderful moments The Professor and I have experienced. Each year has brought us new […]
