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
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 ...
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 salad that can do double duty for you. What I mean is, a salad perfect for either a side dish, or to build on for a meal. This lemony romaine and avocado salad is the one I turn to, and it's like having a little black dress perfect for a wide range of occasions. 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 ...
And the Winner is….Spicy Skillet Eggs (Mexican-ish Shakshuka) !
A Mexican-ish twist on Shakshuka! Last week I posted a poll on Facebook, asking followers to choose between two dishes from the book that they would most like the recipe for. The choices were Spicy Skillet Eggs (a Mexican-ish twist on Shaksuka, a popular north African and Middle-Eastern breakfast) or a very easy Asparagus Risotto made in the Instant Pot. I promised to share the recipe for the winner on my blog, and here it is! The winner was a bit of a landslide, at least partly - IMHO ...
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 ...
Frozen Mudslide (Cocktail or Dessert!!) # ProgressiveEats
The Frozen Mudslide cocktail is easy to make with a couple scoops of ice cream and equal parts of Kahlua, Bailey's, and vodka. And it's a two-fer since it can be either a cocktail or boozy dessert. I'm a recent fan of the Frozen Mudslide cocktail, and it all started with a gift. Some friends recently quit high altitude living and moved to an area much closer to sea level. It's a bridge many up here cross - facing the fact that all this clean air is just a little too thin for optimal ...
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 ...
