Earlier in the week, I went for a walk at a township park in Pennsylvania. While there, I saw a woman picking blackberries for a pie. So during my walk I scoped it out, the park was filled with blackberry bushes! So I returned with containers, and filled a quart jar. What to do with…

Zucchini Pizza Casserole
I am sticking this on my blog again. I made this for dinner tonight and Cameron, who has become very picky recently, LOVED it and demanded seconds! That has not happened in a very long time. And I am tickled that it was with a zucchini-based dish. I used ground turkey this time and it…
Fried Potato Straws
I have finally gotten down making thin crisp potato sticks to go with Gheimeh (Persian Split Pea Stew – with or without Beef). The technique that seems to work best is to slice the potatoes with my mandolin. Then stack a few slices and cut them thinly lengthwise. Two russet potatoes make a whole lot of…
Rye Zucchini Sourdough Bread
It’s that time again. Zucchini time! Zucchini bread time! Only this time, there is a twist. I found a recipe that adds zucchini to my current obsession – sourdough bread. This version adds in rye flour. The result… A fairly perfect bread – crisp outside and soft, chewy inside. And it all starts with some…
Z’houg (Yemenite Green Chili Paste)
Wow, what a kick! One taste and I was immediately addicted. All I could think was, “What can I put this on? I want to put it on everything!” What caused this reaction? Z’houg, a Yemenite green chili paste I made with jalapeno peppers and parsley from my garden combined with garlic and a bunch…
BBQ Kale Chips
It’s a great year for the kale in my garden! And that is a good thing, because two of my daughters are home, and they LOVE kale! They especially like when I make kale chips. I usually make them simply with some oil and sea salt, but decided to try a BBQ flavoring…it was such…
Rutabaga and Quinoa Patties
I will admit to having 2/3 of a rutabaga sitting in my fridge for a few weeks. Finding a light summer dish to make with rutabaga was no easy feat. It is much more at home in fall/winter foods. But, not only did I find a summer-time dish, it is vegetarian for one daughter and…
Toronto Blueberry Buns
Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits. I love their flavor, I love their color. In fact, look at the beautiful color of the filling for these buns… The filling was so pretty and so tasty, that my husband and I devoured all the extra filling immediately. He spread it on rice cakes, I ate…
Jalapeño Cheddar Challah Rolls
I have 4 jalapeño plants this year and all are very happy. I will definitely be replenishing my supply of pickled jalapeños. But I have a bunch of other plans for my peppers as well. The first is a Challah I have been waiting all year to make; I needed to wait for my plants to…
Peach-Blueberry Yogurt Cake
Yes, peaches again! But it is also blueberry season and, to me, peaches and blueberries are a great combination. The both taste and look beautiful together. We were going for our annual 4th of July celebration at Farmer Kim’s and I always bake something for it. This peach-blueberry cake worked great as a bring-along dessert….
