Nightshade Free Southwest Salad with Avocado and Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing

April 7, 2016 Cristina

If you're eating nightshade free, then you know some cuisines are automatically off limits, at least at first. Italian? Nope: tomatoes, potatoes and peppers. Indian? Nope. Peppers. Chinese? Peppers. Tex Mex? Tomatoes and peppers... the list goes on. It can be a bit disheartening and a little overwhelming. ...especially when those are all your favourite foods. No… Read More

Smoked Salmon Sandwich

November 12, 2015 Cristina

Okay that’s it. I’m done. I'm handing in my sandwich... making... tools... (knife? spatula? Panini press?) This is the best sandwich I have ever made, and I’m never ever ever going to top it. Ever. I know that’s not saying much, since my go-to sandwich is like… PB&J, but believe me. I know a good sandwich… Read More

Nightshade Free Nachos

November 5, 2015 Cristina

My family has a deep and abiding love of awful jokes. One time on a 5 hour road trip, we made tree puns for the whole drive. You’d think we’d have run out of material. You’d be wrong. Seriously, if we had to choose between life and never telling another groaner again, we’d be toast. So… Read More

Fall Harvest Salad Bowl

October 22, 2015 Cristina

The life of being a food blogger spouse is not easy. People joke about 'Med School Widows', but I'm beginning to wonder if Mr. Nomato isn't a 'Food Blogger Widow' instead! He eats all the ugly food, the cast-offs, the rejects, has to deal with my crazy kitchen experiments and reheated picture foods (which he pretends… Read More

The BLC: Bacon, Lettuce, and Cucumber Bagel

August 24, 2015 Cristina

When I was growing up I read a lot of The Babysitters Club. My sister and I would devour them. I think we must have owned... well... probably all of them. And all their spin-offs. The first 300 page book I ever read was a Babysitters Club Mystery, and was I ever proud of that!… Read More

Week 17

August 14, 2015 Cristina

Congratulations everyone! We made it to Friday! This week has been crazy. We had a friend come and visit and did SO many touristy things, I need a little break. This city is completely incredible and we have fallen completely in love with it. Sadly, Mr. Nomato doesn't get to appreciate it as much as I… Read More

Cobb(ish) Salad

August 3, 2015 Cristina

I have a confession to make. I. HATE. Leftovers. With the burning passion of one thousand flaming suns. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Some things get better the day after, like beef stew, or chili, you know, something where the flavours get even more time to marinate and mingle. Everything else though? Not… Read More

Nightshade Free Backyard Burgers

July 6, 2015 Cristina

Everyone knows, the staples of a barbecue are BURGERS. They’re always there, reliable, dependable, a simple ground meat patty slapped inside a delicious bun. Of course, most burgers are also usually slathered in nightshades, dripping in tomato-based barbecue sauce or topped with pools of ketchup and mustard (I see you paprika, you can run but you… Read More

Week 12

June 5, 2015 Cristina

Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week! I've been busy tweaking the site, and I'm sure you've noticed a lot of changes! The site has gotten a bit of a facelift between the change in venue, the logo and the theme, and overall I feel like it's a vast improvement. I'm also replacing some… Read More
