Fresh Salsa with Roasted Tomatoes, Fresh Peppers, and Onions
Salsa is a terrific snack. Its primary components are vegetables and its acidity, heat, and natural sweetness satisfy in a guilt-free way. It is no wonder that every grocery store sells so many varieties of salsa. We can walk down the condiment aisle and expect to be able to choose from a variety of roasted, [...]
Italian Chicken Stew with Cannellini Beans, Kale, and Eggplant
I use the term “stew” loosely in titling this recipe. The result is not so much a stew as a braise, as I use whole chicken thighs and the broth is rich and thick. However, I find it to be delicious and satisfying as a stand alone dish, and as I am always chatting with [...]
Chewy Ginger Molasses Holiday Cookies – Ginger SNAPS!
Everyone loves to eat cookies during the holidays and these will make you very popular. You can bake them tomorrow and they will still be soft and chewy on Christmas. I brought them in to work because it was too dangerous to keep them at home, and they were gone before 9am. If you want [...]
Warm Butternut Squash Salad with Chanterelles and Brussel Sprouts and Bacon Vinaigrette
This is a dish of contrast. The bright green of the brussels is beautiful next to the orange squash and the butter-colored mushrooms. The acidity of the vinaigrette balances the sweetness of the butternut squash and the nuttiness of the brussel sprouts. The crispness of the bacon is balanced by the tenderness of the squash [...]
Tuscan White Bean Soup with Kale and Sausage
When those first really cold days of the season sneak up on you, it is a little hard to shake off the chill. I came up with this recipe after a full day at work wishing that I had worn wool socks and boots (instead of no socks and ballet flats) and a warm sweater [...]
Classic American Caeser Salad Recipe – The De-Commercialized Caeser Salad
This is a re-post of a classic recipe that is and will always be a part of our household – Aimee’s family Caeser salad recipe. The first time this was made for me, I literally was bowled over by how different this caeser was compared with all those other sub-par caeser’s that I’d eaten in [...]
Thanksgiving Apple Dessert – Holiday Apple Tart Recipe
As the holiday season approaches, and the invitations to pot-lucks, company parties, and family dinners begin to circulate, we often find ourselves searching our repertoire for crowd-pleasing recipes. I have found that winning dishes for these occasions are those that offer an element of tradition, but also have the ability to surprise us. This holiday [...]
Pot-Roasted Eggplant with Heirloom Tomatoes Recipe
When I was a kid, I was an exceptionally good eater. Perhaps this was due to the amount of time I spent with my mom in the kitchen, watching her create beautiful and aromatic dishes, helping her dice and stir and season. How could I not eat something that I had just spent the last [...]
Sweet Plum Cake Tatin Recipe – A Take on Upside-Down Cake
There are few treats from Mother Nature that are sweeter and more pleasing than a plum. Plums have such a beautiful balance of sweet and tart, which makes them a refreshing snack all on their own, or a nice addition to a variety of entrees and desserts. I had a surplus of plums on hand [...]
Creamed Swiss Chard with Onions and Fresh Thyme – Comforting and Simple French
For anyone who participates in any kind of farm share or organic food delivery service, as Adrian and I do, you find yourself needing to get creative when you end up with, say, Swiss chard for the 12th week in a row. I happen to love Swiss chard, not only because it tastes good but [...]
