This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Anolon. Latkes are synonymous with Hanukkah, but I say this year - you should make sweet potato latkes. Hanukkah often coincides with Christmas, but this year it begins at sundown December 2 and ends at sundown December 10. For those of you who aren't completely clued in, Hanukkah is Hebrew for "dedication". Specifically, this holiday commemorates the re-dedication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem following the victory of the ...
Cheesy Cauliflower Rarebit Slab Pie with a Rye Crust-#CookbookReview
A cheesy cauliflower casserole wrapped up in a slab pie with a rye crust. Oh my! Have you ever had Welsh Rarebit? When I was a kid (and long after that), this was one of my favorite dinners. Mom wasn't an adventurous cook, so our version always came from a box with the Stouffer's banner plastered across it. It was years before I realized how easy it was to actually make. Cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard make up the base, along with some kind of liquid. Beef broth is ...
Coconut Curried Butternut Squash Soup
The calendar unleashes butternut squash cravings in me every October 1, and this year was no exception. But I was in Italy the first two weeks of the month, and searched in vain for my familiar friend on menus. It turns out, butternut squash is much more common in North and South America, as all squash originated there with Native American Indians. In Italy, winter squash isn't widely harvested, except for small family farms with a local reach. I had to wait. So, the first thing I made when I ...

Blueberry Scone Bread | #BreadBakers
First I overslept and woke to a phone call from the wonderful woman who runs the camp I take my dog to. Every Tuesday, like the mail, Paprika gets delivered there through sleet, snow, rain and shine. She wondered if my little dog was coming today for a hike with her buds. Uh - isn't it Monday? No. And yes this post was due yesterday, which explains why some of you got a blank page when you opened it earlier. When I realized I had the days wrong, I ran around the house like a mad ...
Honey & Lime Melon Ball Skewers with Mint
Summer appetizer ready in minutes to keep your guest cool in the heat. Melon ball skewers of watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew are soaked in lime, honey and ginger. I don't think of myself as being super-strong in the appetizer arena. Once I prepare an entire meal and dessert, I don't have the energy to plan much around an appetizer. But a couple of weeks ago, I posted a favorite dip of mine, Creamy Feta Dip with Lemon, Rosemary and Honey, and now here I am suggesting these melon ball ...
Lemony Romaine and Avocado Salad from Simply Vegetarian Cookbook
Lemony romaine and avocado salad that's a perfect side dish or foundation to build a meal. Here are some ideas! When it's hot outside, you need a perfect little salad you can either use as a side salad, or build on to turn into a meal. This lemony romaine and avocado salad is mine, and it's like my little black dress I keep on hand for a wide range of occasions. You can find this salad in my new cookbook along with over 20 other recipes that don't require you to turn on the ...
Tomato Galette from Simply Vegetarian Cookbook
Tomato galette for a moderately easy, kid-friendly dinner from the Simply Vegetarian cookbook. Earlier this week, I ran another poll on Facebook asking my followers and friends to tell me which recipe they'd rather have right now. The choices were this tomato galette with mozzarella cheese or a vegetarian chili topped with cornbread. Even though it's hot outside right now, this one went almost right now the middle, with the votes coming in at ........ Proof that chili and cornbread is ...
Creamy Feta Dip with Lemon, Rosemary, and Honey
Feta dip + lemon + rosemary + honey + olive oil + garlic = my favorite dip! And it's ready in 10 minutes. Summertime entertaining calls for easy recipes, and that includes appetizers. I first made this feta dip last summer to take to a pot luck. I needed something quick, but something with a little pizzazz, and threw some goat/sheet feta cheese in the blender along with some lemon, garlic paste and olive oil. It was good, but not particularly memorable. After a few ...
Grilled Vegetable Skewers over Zoodles | #ProgressiveEats
I'm trying hard to go low-ish carb, swapping cauliflower rice for, well, regular rice, and spiralized zucchini for pasta. These grilled vegetable skewers of halloumi, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes and onions over zoodles is a perfect example of my dinner. It's not Whole30, but I think of it as Whole30-Lite. Or maybe Whole29. And this dish was uber-easy, one of my new meal requirements. It looks a lot more complicated than it is. Your first question might be - what the heck ...
Cajun Peppers + Cauliflower ‘Grits’
This is a spin on shrimp and grits, a Cajun favorite, using cajun-spiced baby bell peppers and black beans piled on top of cheesy cauliflower grits. Cauliflower rice is my new thing. And since I'm trying to be grain-free for a month (1 week down, 3 to go!), it's been a great substitute in some favorite dishes. This is my latest tinkering with cauliflower rice - and it rocks, you guys! Cauliflower grits! Who knew??!! Although this dish is an easy weeknight dinner - it comes together in ...
Vegan Asparagus Salad with Potatoes and Lentils in a Lemon Vinaigrette
A spring vegan asparagus salad, hearty enough for a meal, loaded with asparagus, potatoes, lentils, radishes, sugar snap peas, and mint - all dressed with a bright lemon vinaigrette. Spring wakes slowly here in the mountains. After relishing the explosion of spring for decades outside San Francisco, I'm adjusting to a more tentative, gentle springing forth. Full confession: it's painful. I see four fuzzy buds one day on a bush when walking Paprika, and the next day another two gather up ...
