Holiday Mule

November 5, 2017 by Maggie Jones 103 Comments

Holiday moscow mule for Christmas or Thanksgiving

Gin Gin Mules and Moscow Mules are among my favorite drinks. This festive twist updates the traditional Summer refresher for cooler weather. You can find the traditional copper mug on Amazon but these can be served in just about anything.   The sweet-tart cranberry juice, spicy ginger beer, and fragrant rosemary combine perfectly for a…

Make your holidays sparkle with this festive twist on a French 75. A French 75 is the cocktail that combines all my favorite components: gin, lemon juice, and a touch of simple syrup topped off with sparkling wine and a twist.

Roasted Butternut Squash and Burrata Salad

October 23, 2017 by Maggie Jones 2 Comments

Roasted butternut squash with burrata and arugula

Fall is coming. Here in LA it may be in the triple digits but it’s dark when I go to work and the stores are stocked with pumpkin everything, so it’s clear that autumn is approaching. I love fall flavors but when it’s 102 outside it’s hard to get excited about anything heavy or labor…

Salmon Salade Lyonnaise

October 16, 2017 by Maggie Jones Leave a Comment

Salad Lyonnaise with Smoke Salmon Candy

Salade Lyonnaise is a popular salad from the Lyon region of France traditionally made of frisée, lardons, toasted croutons, and a mustard vinaigrette made from the bacon drippings all topped with a poached egg. It’s like breakfast salad. Because bacon is such an integral ingredient, I’ve long struggled with a way to make this that…

Lemony Orzo with Roasted Broccoli

June 15, 2017 by Maggie Jones 5 Comments

Lemony Orzo with Roasted Broccoli

Brad’s second most frequently requested dish is roasted broccoli. (Jones Home trivia: his most requested is tacos.)  This recipe takes that often unappreciated side dish and makes it the star of the show. Tossing the broccoli with orzo and zesty lemon juice makes it into a light, summary meal or hearty side. Our love affair…

PSMF Recipes: Zesty Chicken Soup and more for the Protein Sparing Modified Fast

January 6, 2017 by Maggie Jones 7 Comments

Happy New Year! I’m excited to kick off 2017 with a post I’ve been holding onto for a while. Last year around this time I stumbled across the Rapid Fat Loss Handbook by Lyle McDonald and was introduced to the idea of Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting.  PSMF was developed by doctors in the 1970s to achieve…

Thai Green Curry with Green Beans and Potatoes

Hearty potatoes and tender-crisp green beans in a fragrant, creamy Thai curry… this simple dish is so tasty you won’t believe it takes less than half an hour from pantry to table – or that it’s vegan and gluten free. Tasty it is. Authentic it is not. I know that. Please don’t yell at me…

Blueberry, Kale and Quinoa Salad

July 29, 2016 by Maggie Jones 2 Comments

Filling and Fresh Blueberry, Kale, Quinoa Salad

This has been our salad of the summer: simple and fresh but perfectly satisfying. Torn kale gets massaged with olive oil and lemon juice, tossed with sweet blueberries, hearty quinoa, sliced almonds and crumbled feta. I’ll sometimes use Trader Joe’s honey-roasted sliced almonds for an extra bit of sweetness. If you haven’t fallen in love…
