Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions Apparently, I am on a caramelizing kick. First, this butternut squash. Last week was roasted garlic. Now caramelized onions. Somebody stop me! The ingredient list is so short, the steps so simple, and the results so good that it's hard not to be a fan. Just like with roasting garlic, caramelizing onions replaces that often sharp, bitter bite with a sweeter, deeper flavor. These mellow onions can be used in anything from soups and stews to pizzas and burgers. Or just spread some goat cheese over a slice of bread and lay some caramelized onions on top. I did.

Cowboy Caviar (a gluten-free, dairy-free recipe)
Cowboy Caviar The first time I ate Cowboy Caviar was with Herman the Sturgeon. My friend Rebecca and I had just finished hiking back to Wahclella Falls with our crew of little people. We drove over to Bonneville Dam and spread our picnic blanket under the trees next to Herman's tank. The kids bounced around on the grass while we ate lunch together. I quickly ditched my trusty pb&j's and started shoveling Rebecca's Cowboy Caviar in my mouth instead. It was the perfect lunch for hungry hikers and a sunny afternoon. You can whip this delicious concoction together in less than 10 minutes. Pop the lid on the container, grab a bag of tortilla chips, Keep Reading

White Bean Spread (gluten-free, dairy-free recipe)
White Bean Spread Recipe I started making this White Bean Spread recipe three years ago and haven't looked back. I could eat it with a spoon, on a house, with a mouse. You name it. It is so crazy delicious. If you aren't a big fan of hummus, you might prefer this variation. It has most of the same ingredients, simply swapping white beans for garbanzo beans and omitting tahini (sesame seed paste), which is a pretty strong flavor. Plus it's gluten-free and dairy-free! I've slightly simplified the original recipe from Heidi Swanson, who is one of my all-time favorite vegetarian food bloggers and cookbook authors. This recipe is light and healthy, perfect Keep Reading
