Greens Agrodolce with Marcona Almonds and Crispy Fried Shallots
This is my favorite way to eat greens- italian style sweet and sour with meaty almonds and savory shallots. This is the kind of recipe that will change skeptics minds about leafy greens. You can use a single type or a mixture, either way these greens are anything but boring! Ingredients 1 lg bunch Mustard […]
Rainbow Roots Salad
This salad is very easy to make and a real show stopper. The key is to use a mandolin to slice the veggies so they are just thick enough to hold their shape. The sweet apples and golden raisins perfectly balance the earthy flavor of the roots. I have written this in spring so I […]
Cleansing Carrot Soup
This is the time of year for spring cleaning which not only means dusting the top of the fridge, (when was the last time?) but now that Easter/Passover holidays are over, it’s also a good time to do a little cleaning from the inside out. I usually do a juice cleanse this time of year […]
Cilantro Mint Parsley Pistachio Pesto
There is no better way to use up your fresh herbs from the garden or farmer’s market than making a delicious pesto. Use it on Pasta, chicken, fish, sandwiches or on crackers with a little goat cheese and a sun-dried tomato slice as a quick appetizer. Ingredients: 1 cup Cilantro, lightly packed 1/4 cup Italian Parsley, […]
Touchdown! Ribs
To anyone who has remodeled their home this may be a familiar story. It started with a failed valve on a toilet requiring the floor in that room to be replaced and snowballed into a complete overhaul. The phrase “while we’re doing that we might as well do…” was uttered far too many times. So rather […]
Kale, Chicken and Smoked Cheese Omelet
I never tire of eating kale. In fact, even though I know the plant needs some leaves on for photosynthesis to occur so it can make more, I’m often tempted to eat all the leaves off my 3 plants. Patience is indeed a virtue, one which I possess little of. Next year I’ll plant more! […]
Whole Roasted Maple Ginger Carrots
These carrots are a sweet and spicy treat you wont be able to resist! I just ate the whole bunch of carrots after testing this recipe, oops! This works best with medium-sized carrots that are fairly uniform in size. If the carrots are very large, slice in half lengthwise. You can even deglaze the pan after using a […]
Merry Mulled Wine
I always love to serve mulled wine at Holiday parties. I love the way the smell hits you when you walk in. It reminds me of Christmas time in England where every household greets you with a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie throughout the whole of December. Merry Mulled Wine • 3 […]
Watermelon Radish and Cream Cheese Toasts (Smoked Salmon Optional)
I love watermelon radishes! They are a bright, beautiful addition to the winter table. These are one of my favorite appetizers to serve around the holidays. They are quick and easy, not too heavy, and always a big hit. I am growing them in my garden this winter but they weren’t quite ready for the […]
