Cookie baking is happening right now, all over the world. So this time of year, I like to share traditional Christmas cookies from around the world, to share old-fashioned cookie traditions we can bring into our own kitchens. This year, I focused on Europe. Come join me! Italian Christmas Cookies I spent a month in Italy this year, so I had to start with this country. So, first up are these Italian Christmas Cookies from Cakes Cottage. They're lightly sweet and perfect for dunking in espresso. ...
Green Bean Casserole (Vegetarian Keto Low-Carb)
If you've ever attended a Thanksgiving dinner anytime in the past 50 years, chances are you had a green bean casserole topped with Crispy Fried Onions. But have you eaten a version that's keto-friendly? The answer is - you probably have if it didn't include Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup (sorry, Campbell's). Does that surprise you? It did me. First, a little history... Dorcas Reilly created this classic holiday dish in 1955 when she was working in the Home Economics Department of Campbell's ...
18 Vegetarian Winter Squash Main Dishes for Thanksgiving (and Beyond)
18 vegetarian winter squash main dishes for all through Autumn and Winter. They're not just for Thanksgiving! "What's your favorite winter squash?" I posed this question on my Facebook page recently, and got a huge response. Readers listed everything from the familiar, like butternut squash, to the wildly unfamiliar, like sweet meat and onion squash.

Easy Sweet Potato Latkes
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. Unfortunately, I was in Italy, and searched in vain for my familiar friend on menus. It turns out, butternut squash is native to the Americas, and not as common in other areas of the world. I had to wait. So, the first thing I made when I padded back into my kitchen was this butternut squash soup. A version is also in my cookbook, Simply Vegetarian, as it's super-easy and full of flavor. ...

Blueberry Scone Bread | #BreadBakers
f First I overslept and woke to a phone call from the wonderful woman who runs the camp I take my dog to. Every Tuesday, just like the mail, I deliver Paprika there through sleet, snow, rain and shine. The camp manager wondered if Rika was coming today for a hike with her buds. Uh - isn't it Monday? No. Do You Have Days Weeks Like This? So 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, ...
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 ...

Tomato galette for a moderately easy, kid-friendly dinner from the Simply Vegetarian cookbook.

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 ...
