After making what we decided was the perfect challah for Rosh Hashanah (Brown Sugar Challah with Pomegranate Glaze) about 3 weeks before Rosh Hashanah, I couldn’t make it again for the actual holiday, it was too soon for a repeat. So, I decided to try an experiment for our ‘real-time’ holiday challot. I had plenty of high-gluten…

Corn Salad with Feta and Walnuts
I had more of the Freeman’s corn, so I decided to try a corn salad with dinner tonight. How could it not be good with toasted walnuts, feta and jalapeños? Well, it wasn’t good, it was great! So much flavor and texture! And it was a good thing the corn salad was so good, because…
Honey Cookies
I love Rosh Hashanah. And I love eating honey: honey and apples, honey in the challah, honey on the challah, honey apple cake, honey on my chicken… honey, honey, honey! Of course that also means local honey. Luckily we have a lot of local honey to choose from. These are just a few that happen…

Local corn is still delicious. My tomatoes are still delicious, not so pretty, but oh, so delicious. Look at how luscious they are when I cut them open, that’s when their beauty shines… The girls are all out of the house now, so it is time for us to eat a little lighter and healthier…
Pasta with Tomato Pesto & Corn
To be honest, I was not expecting much when I made this dish. The thought of a tomato-based pesto intrigued me, but I did not expect the nice pesto flavor that the sauce actually had. It had a rich texture from the nuts, a bright flavor from the basil and fresh tomatoes, a great bite…
Smoothie Time
We spent our vacation on the beach on Hilton Head Island, SC. It was beautiful… But it was also very hot, and very humid… The last thing I wanted was a hot or heavy breakfast. It was Smoothie Time! Our favorites were… Pomegranate Berry Smoothies And Mango Blueberry Smoothies Pomegranate Berry Smoothies 1/2 cup pomegranate…
Zucchini Bolognese
I was planning on actually making meatloaf for dinner, but then to our pleasant surprise, our vegetarian daughter was going to be home for dinner. Quick change in plans. I decided to do an adaptation of Martha Rose Shulman’s Zucchini Parmesan and make a vegetarian Zucchini Bolognese. With the abundance of tomatoes in my garden,…

The zucchini are coming in fast and furious. Have I said that yet? I don’t know where hey come from, I can go out in the morning and pick the plants clean and by night-time, more appear! As predicted, zucchini breads are starting to fill my freezer (I have made 8 in the past week…
