Day 2 of Thanksgiving Leftovers. Time for another light antidote to the Thanksgiving feast…a turkey salad…with an asian twist – Nigella Lawson’s Bang Bang Turkey. It was great! Light, fresh, and full of flavor! Definitely will become a regular part of our post-Thanksgiving meals from now on! Bang Bang Turkey Very slightly adapted from Nigella…

Turkey Soup
After the heavy Thanksgiving meal, I find a really just want a soup for dinner the next day. And, luckily, Thanksgiving dinner leaves me with the makings for a great turkey stock to use as a base for the soup. Right after dinner, I ripped apart the carcass, put it on a tray and roasted it…
The Challah Project #14 – Sourdough Challah, It’s a Dinosaur!
My wonderful husband bought me some sourdough starter for my birthday. I have made buckwheat hazelnut raisin flutes, which were wonderful. I decided to try a sourdough challah for thanksgiving weekend. I am using Maggie Glazer’s My Sourdough Challah from her book A Blessing of Bread. Since Cam was home when I made it, we made a…
Cauliflower, Tomato & Feta Frittata
Frittatas are a favorite food in our house. Second only to vegetable hashes topped with eggs.I mean, really, what’s not to love? Eggs, vegetables and, typically, cheese. So good, we tend to dive in before I can take a decent picture… I had bought a locally grown cauliflower. These are so big that the quart…
Butternut Squash Chili with Corn
Time again to use one of the butternut squash from my garden (somehow the crate of squash does not seem to be getting smaller). I peeled it and cut it up to use in a healthy chili. I love chili, all types of chili. Red chilis, white chilis, black bean chilis, leftover turkey chili, Cincinnati chili. Chili…
Pomegranate Molasses Turkey

It doesn’t get much fresher than arranging the day you will pick up the turkey and having it freshly slaughtered that morning. Instead of brining, I like Ina Garten’s approach of salting the bird and…
Barcelona’s La Boqueria
Istanbul & Tehran have their Grand Bazaars, Jerusalem has the Shuk, and Barcelona has la Boqueria. It is a feast for the eyes! I couldn’t believe all the varieties of mushrooms. Or salt You could easily tell it was Halloween when we were there. If the chocoalte and painted pumkins didn’t give it away, the vendors in…
Tapas Cooking Class in Barcelona
What was the best meal my daughters and I had in Barcelona? It was, surprisingly, the one we and our fellow students made at Barcelona Cooking. We arrived to this beautiful workspace… Then we met our fellow students and instructor, and were divided into pairings for each tapa. I was paired with a lovely woman…
Sweet Potato Waffles with Marshmallows
I did not grow sweet potatoes this year, but a nearby house did and had so many extras they sold them alongside the road. I bought a few and am putting them to good use. First up – Food Network’s sweet potato waffles with marshmallows. I have to admit that I had a little trouble…
Dark Chocolate Buckwheat Brownies with Nutella Ganache
These are so delicious, the first thing I need to do is acknowledge Rachael at La Fuji Mama (lafujimama.com) for the recipe. It was so good and made so many brownies that the first thing I did was give half of them away! To keep myself from eating them, of course. Then I fed some…
