Think of this as lentil soup morphed into a sauté. It’s about as easy to make too, especially since the lentils I used cooked up so fast. I’ve made this a number of times with regular run-of-the-mill brown lentils, but then I saw Bartolini’s adorable [...]

#SundaySupper: Roasted Balsamic Tomatoes
This may not feel like much of a recipe to you, but this is one of my star kitchen staples these days. Frankly I need all the shortcuts I can find, with my time being gulped down by the gallon between remodeling a condo we [...]
Pin ItPickled Onions in Cardamom-Orange Tea
The earthy onion isn’t known for her subtlety. Unwrap her papery robe, and slice her open, if you doubt this. She’s a woman of many moods, though. Invite her to join some warm oil in a sauté pan, and watch her melt into the moist [...]
Pin ItKale-Miso Sauté with Dates and Millet
One of the things I enjoy about writing for Ask Miss A magazine is learning more about food companies that give back. Let’s face it, many food companies operate on pretty thin margins, so when they give back, it tells me a lot about their [...]
Pin ItWinter Salad of Kale, Cabbage and Blood Oranges with Tahini Ginger Dressing
Winter is loosening its long, cold talons, even here in the mountains. As we say goodbye to March, the familiar feeling of change is in the air. Daylight lingers a little longer; the damp earth smells pungent of decaying leaves; snow turns to a soaking [...]
Pin ItMoroccan Chickpea Pockets
Some evenings I’m pulling dinner together on the run because of any number of reasons. It could be a last-minute phone call that delayed me, an appointment that ran late, traffic, or just life. In times like this, I’m so grateful to have little containers [...]
Pin It#SundaySupper: Chocolate Coconut Creamy Truffles with Strawberry Jam
It’s time for another SundaySupper and it’s all about Valentine’s Day. I went traditional with chocolate, how could I not? And I settled on truffles. It’s been way too long since I’ve made them. Truffles are show-stoppers. Decadent, hard chocolate shells protecting luxuriant, silky [...]
Pin ItClassic Green Bean Casserole Redux: #SundaySupper
Our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners weren’t complete without the green bean casserole that was all the rage in the ’70′s. You might remember it: green beans swamped with cream of mushroom soup and topped with French fried onion rings. I think it graced every table [...]
Pin ItSpiced Sweet Potato ‘Fries’ with Maple Mustard Dip
Unless you have a staff to insulate you from the world; someone to push a cart around the market, and someone to open doors for you so you don’t have to touch anything while you recline on your divan, sipping Oolong tea, and read a [...]
Pin ItHomemade Granola Bars — #SundaySupper
I’ve been trying for awhile now to make granola bars, and these might be the easiest ones I’ve ever made. I don’t know about you, but I find that the biggest challenge in making granola bars is getting them to stick together without loading up [...]
Pin ItWelcome!
I'm Susan, thank you for visiting my food blog! I enrolled in culinary school after many years in business as a gift to myself to follow my heart and create a life around food. I've now fallen in love with writing and photography as well, and am thoroughly enjoying this new life I'm still creating.
Inspired by the book "In Defense of Food", I began infusing more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into my everyday diet. Meat and fish will never be completely gone from my diet, but they're no longer the main event on my plate. On the other hand, my husband is a determined carnivore, creating a challenge for me to create dishes that will entice him. Whether you're vegetarian, or just wanting to eat less meat, I hope you'll find inspiration here to try something new to add to your own table.
