My poor 25 year-old food processor, it worked really hard. Between the 2 nut butters, it was running for almost an hour and a half. Overheated once, so it took a rest and then was able to finish the batch. Each nut butter used a different approach for preparing the almonds, for the roasted…

Raspberry Refrigerator Oatmeal
It has been a wonderful year for raspberries in our garden, otherwise referred to as “garden candy.” Not only have they been delicious, but I have been picking just shy of a quart every other day! Raspberry Refrigerator Oatmeal 1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats 1/3 cup skim or lowfat milk 1/4 cup low-fat Greek…
Spaghetti with Zucchini
The zucchini harvest has begun, it must really be summer! Not enough yet for zucchini bread, but the perfect amount for a nice pasta dinner. Simple flavors – zucchini, garlic, basil and cheese – so very satisfying. Fresh and filling. Spaghetti with Zucchini adapted slightly from Katie Lee Kosher salt 8 ounces spaghetti 2 tablespoons…
The Challah Project #6 – Scallion Pancake Challah
Asian food for dinner Friday night? Not so good with challah, unless, perhaps you make a scallion pancake challah. I was so excited to try this one. I took Molly Yeh’s ingredient list and used my developing challah technique and ended up with this… The flavor was great, the sesame oil is the real star….
Chocolate Krantz Cake
Ever since I first opened my copy of Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem cookbook I have been mesmerized by the chocolate Krantz cake. It looked so beautiful, and so complicated. But I finally worked up the nerve to make it. And, surprisingly, it was really quite simple and….oh so delicious! Chocolate Krantz Cakes From Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem…
Ligurian Kale Pie
More kale from the garden! And some swiss chard from Highland Orchards. Just right for this recipe I saw on the NY Times cooking site – Ligurian Kale Pie – a free-form pie with an olive oil crust. This is a very simple looking food, but don’t be deceived, the taste was fabulous! It was light…
The Challah Project #5 – Triple Chocolate Chip Challah
The Challah project continues. This past Shabbat was also my husband’s birthday, so as a treat I made the recipe for Triple Chocolate Chip Challah from girlversusdough.com. To be honest, the dough itself came out a bit heavy, but I think the concept is a fun one. So some other time I will try…
Calzone with Tomato, Kale and Cheese Filling
This is a great time of year; veggies in the garden are coming in, typically one at a time. This week it is the red russian kale. I have plans for some fun, different dinners. Tonight it was calzones. The filling on this was great, we had to force ourselves to stop eating it before…
Kale and Leek Quiche
I love quiche. I especially love healthy quiche. I super especially love healthy quiche made with veggies from my garden and Farmer Kim’s eggs! OK, I’ll admit it, I used a prepared pie shell for this one. It was a busy day and I was in a rush to do all the other preparations to…
Glazed Strawberry Bread
“Oh wow this is good!” was heard over and over as we each tried this bread. It was music to my ears. It was especially nice since I had made the bread simply because I had a lot of strawberries on my counter and had to find something to do with them. These were not strawberries from…
