Inspired by the beautiful Capri Salad, this lovely antipasti is broiled and served hot. If you have a favorite vegan mozzarella that tastes great cold, this dish would be wonderful uncooked as well… just like a cold Capri Salad. I would love to get my hands on some Teese to compare, but Daiya’s the only [...]

I never used to like salsa. Not at all. Not riding atop my favorite tortilla chip, not accompanying my fajitas, not even as a stand in for butter on my baked potato. Nope, I hated it. I also used to loathe cilantro, as I understand many people do. Perhaps it was an acquired taste, because [...]

Over the weekend, the family and I stocked up on plenty-o-cherries. While I was excited about eating them as is- savoring each sweet and juicy bite- my son had another plan for them: cherry pie. He must have asked me to make cherry pie at least ten times this past weekend. Truthfully, the thought of [...]

Happy Earth Day! To celebrate, I’m going to continue my “backyard foraging” kick, with a recipe for the under-appreciated dandelion. Eaten plain, dandelions are sustainable, “easy” to grow, and very very good for you. You can eat the root, the greens, or in this case- the flower. They are certainly more nutritious when eaten raw… [...]

Spring is here! This post is kind of a “farewell to soup”. Well, maybe not a farewell, (because I will be devouring mass gazpacho this summer), but warm soup is my absolute favorite part about Winter. And, I almost exclusively reserve soup for cold weather. So, for me, a farewell to Winter is a farewell [...]

Here’s a super easy and delicious way to use up that bag of cornmeal in your cabinet. It’s fun (and economical) to make your own polenta, and you can add all sorts of mix-ins. I just added the basics for a rich flavor, but feel free to mix in a medley of stuff at the [...]

I am about to say something I thought I would NEVER say… I found a dip that I love more than hummus. It sort of chokes me up to admit that, but it’s true. I was browsing the internet trying to figure out a way to use my bag of dried fava beans, when I [...]

Can the world use another Curried Butternut Squash Soup recipe? I think so. I made this yesterday for lunch and found it so surprisingly easy and yummy that I wanted to share it. I have honestly never made any kind of squash soup before this, but I have seen numerous beautiful photos from some of [...]

Since the weather outside is so frightful, (and freezing!) soup is on my mind. This lentil soup is nice and light, yet very satisfying. It is also chock full of warm fuzzy feeling. I created it to emulate a soup I always order at one of my favorite restaurants. Fragranced with lemon and cilantro, and [...]

With Thanksgiving coming soon, I know I’ve been focusing on all the goodies that will grace our table as we sit down to our feast. But what about the appetizers? If you are having company, and dinner won’t be ready right away, appetizers certainly come in handy. Think of all of your poor hungry guests [...]
