Two Takes On Charoset – Mango and Pear In One, Coconut In The Other
In honor of the holiday of Passover that starts tonight at sundown, here are two different and interesting version of charoset. It might be a little late to try tonight, but maybe for later in the week. I tried the mango one this year because my sister-in-law is allergic to apples — and, of course,…
Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
I just went to a conference on Nutrition and Cardiovascular Disease and saw amazing photos of regression of coronary artery disease after total change in diet to a plant based diet. Intermittently I think about modifying my diet further in that direction. Although my diet has been plant-dominant for years, I do still eat animal…

Tzatziki
This cucumber-yogurt salad is a dish we started making years ago. We had dinner with friends this weekend. They made kabobs and asked me to bring tzatziki. When I looked in my Greek recipe book, I found my daughter’s note: “Yummmm!”. It’s so simple to make, and VERY tasty – and improves each day! This…
Kale Chips – finally a recipe that works!
I’ve tried several recipes for kale chips that just didn’t work. This time, I happened to have some kale in the fridge that wasn’t going to make it too much longer. I was baking chicken and turkey cutlets, so I thought I might a well put the kale in the oven, side by side. I…
Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup with Pearled Barley
I’m trying random combinations of ingredients to come up with the simplest way to make a hearty vegetable soup for the cold winter days ahead. Here’s an initial try that was quite good, and with the pearled barley was filling. I don’t generally like the texture of frozen vegetables other than peas but in this…
Cucumber Soup with Watercress
Adapted from myherbsmag.com I had a few extra cucumbers from my Hungry Harvest take this week. I saw this recipe and thought it was a simple, low calorie way to use the cukes without having to eat endless salads. I always like to try new herbs, and watercress is something I don’t recall cooking with…
Spiced nuts
I was looking for a spiced nut recipe to match one we had recently at The Little Beet – slivered almonds with turmeric and pepper. I couldn’t find anything equivalent so I combined several recipes that seemed interesting, and added turmeric.. I used all the nuts and seeds below, in similar proportions, but with overflowing…
Big Italian Salad
From www. onceuponachef.com a recipe blog by Jennifer Segal This dressing is easy as can be and just keeps getting better and better every day. What a great way to use loads of basil, if you’re lucky enough to still be harvesting some after all the rain we had. My herbs didn’t survive the storms, but…
Refreshing Summer Greens with Fruit and Mint
It’s officially summer and time for a new twist on healthy salads. No recipe needed. Mint is plentiful and returns year after year. If you grew it last year, it’s waiting for you right now! Or find a bunch or small plant at a farmer’s market or supermarket. I find that the fruits that pair…
