Spicy Moroccan Carrot Salad with Harissa Lemon Dressing

Every year we make a point to see every Shakespeare in the Park performance in Griffith Park.  Our local Independent Shakespeare Company does some of the most creative and entertaining stagings of classics I’ve ever seen.  We’ve been going for about 5 years now and their shows are always among the highlights of our summer….

Baked Sweet Potato Fries that are Actually Crispy – and Gluten Free!

July 29, 2015 by Maggie Jones 1 Comment

Paleo, gluten-free sweet potato fries that are actually crispy when baked

We had gluten-free guests over for lunch and I knew I wanted to make our favorite salmon crab burgers (these pictures desperately need to be updated – I promise they’re more delicious than they look). Baked sweet potato fries are my favorite thing to serve on the side of these heavenly burgers, but the only…

Heirloom Tomato, Melon, and Burrata Salad

June 10, 2015 by Maggie Jones 1 Comment

Heirloom tomato, melon, and burrata salad

This is the first Summer in years we haven’t bought season tickets to the Hollywood Bowl. Between my work schedule and saving for a new property it seemed like the smart move and so far I haven’t missed it. We’re still planning to catch a few shows but don’t have every weekend planned. The Hollywood…

Peruvian Pollo Asado

June 5, 2015 by Maggie Jones 2 Comments

This simple but exotic tasting Pollo Asado brings you all the flavors of Peru

In May, Brad and I experimented with three different interpretations of Pollo Asado: Mexican, Cuban and Peruvian.  While all were delicious and will be shared here soon, the Peruvian chicken was the favorite at Chez Jones. The crispy skin and moist, flavorful meat guarantee we’ll be making it again soon. I’ve cooked chicken on a…

Super Skinny Creamy Spinach Pasta Primavera

April 26, 2015 by Maggie Jones 4 Comments

Gluten-free, vegan pasta primavera that's just 150 calories a serving

Does a giant bowl of creamy noodles packed with Spring vegetables for under 150 calories sound too good to be true?  Creamy AND vegan? Noodles AND gluten-free? Brad didn’t believe me either until I used this recipe to try out Miracle Noodle’s new spinach shirataki noodles. Granted, this is a very different dish that your…

April 20, 2015 by Maggie Jones 7 Comments

Moroccan grilled chicken and vegetables with yogurt dill sauce

This tender, succulent Moroccan-spiced chicken breast served with flavorful grilled vegetables is the dish of the month at Chez Jones and will probably be the dish of the Summer. I’d been working on the recipe in my head for a few weeks and it turned out even more delicious than I hoped. Served with bitter…

Baked Eggplant Parmesan Stacks

February 16, 2015 by Maggie Jones 6 Comments

Cheesy baked eggplant Parmesan stacks

I’d been toying around for a few weeks with the idea of veggie stacks. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted besides eggplant… maybe ratatouille stacks with roasted zucchini, peppers, and goat cheese or mushrooms with a roasted pepper coulis or something Greek-inspired with sumac and feta (all of which will probably still come up…

Sesame-Crusted Seared Ahi with Wasabi Crème Fraîche

February 12, 2015 by Maggie Jones 1 Comment

Sesame-crusted Ahi makes an elegant but fast and easy dinner

Once a week, usually Tuesday, we have “Fish and Veggie” night – usually just a simple baked salmon with steamed or blanched vegetables on the side. It’s Brad’s favorite dinner of the week and I love it because most of our fish and veggie recipes take under 15 minutes from grocery bag to plate. Sometimes…

Serve it with Hoisin-Glazed Salmon, Asian-Glazed Drumsticks, or the fantastic Sesame-Crusted Ahi pictured here – I’ll share the recipe later this week.
