I’m not sure where I got the idea for making a smoked salmon quiche, but I must have seen it somewhere in France (and not been able to eat it since it would surely have contained gluten). I looked at a bunch of recipes, and they were pretty standard and self-evident since quiche-making always contains the same base (eggs-cream-cheese-often nutmeg)…. Read More
This is a two-fer post with two entirely different recipes in one – roasted tomatoes with parmesan, garlic and herbs, and a French Dijon mustard salad dressing – although you could serve both at the same meal.

She also wanted to make the dish with sweet potatoes, but my kids are not that open-minded. I like red-jacket potatoes because the flesh is yellow and firm, rather than white… Read More
