This is the best time of year to make a traditional Greek salad, so if you're looking for your next salad, this is it my friends. All of the ingredients are in season at their peak flavor, and easily found at grocery stores and Farmers Markets. For bonus points, this might also be one of the easiest salads you'll make this year - and for the win, one of your most popular. Seriously. Make it for dinner, a pot luck, or a picnic. It travels well and is best made a little ahead of time. (And if ...
Crustless Key Lime Cheesecake (in the Instant Pot!)
My Instant Pot is my current 'go-to' appliance. I use it for soup, chili, and long-cooking vegetables like artichokes and beets. I ventured out into the unknown and made risotto in it for my cookbook, and I will never make risotto any other way. Every week, I try something new in this fabulous pot that can do so many things, but never dessert. Until now. A New Healthy Cookbook For You!!! It took a blogging friend of mine, Shelby, to get me there with her new cookbook, The Diabetes Cookbook ...
Easy Southern Pimento Cheese | #ProgressiveEats
Southern Cooking My mom was a southern girl, my dad too. They married the day after her college graduation, and she came to the marriage knowing absolutely zero about cooking. As she often put it, she had to learn how to boil water. Over time, she became a great cook, and her favorite recipes were traditional southern dishes. Fried chicken, okra, grits, and this Pimento Cheese dip for parties. But it was a long road for her, and I don't think it was ever fun for her in the way it is for me. ...

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 ...
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
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, I ran ...
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 that's a perfect side dish or foundation to build a meal. Here are some ideas! When it's hot outside, you need a salad that can do double duty for you.

You can find this salad in my new cookbook along with over 20 other ...
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 ...
