The vote on this was unanimous – the chicken was great, but use rice not rice noodles. The original recipe called for rice noodles, thus that is what you will see in these pictures. Ignore that, this is a perfect dish to have with rice. It was so easy to make and so tasty! Light and…

Baby Spinach & Kale Omelet
Breakfast for dinner or breakfast for breakfast. Omelets work for both. So simple, yet so tasty, omelets are often my fallback to use whatever I have around. This time it was spinach and kale, local eggs, aged cheddar and pepper jack cheese. My husband opted for the cheddar, and me, the kick of the pepper…
Citrus Chicken with Dates and Olives
Who would have imagined that Martha Stewart would have included some great recipes for Tu B’Shevat in her magazine that came out just before the holiday? Yep, the highlight of the month was dates (which is why I bought the magazine). So this is what we ate for our Tu B’Shevat dinner – an adaptation…
Tu B’Shevat Couscous Salad
Tu B’Shevat, the new year for the trees is here. It is traditional to eat tree fruits and also the seven species listed in the Torah: Dates, Figs, Barley, Wheat, Grapes, Pomegranates and Olives. This makes me very happy since, as you probably have realized by now, I LOVE dates and figs. Grapes, pomegranates and…
Braised Escarole with Tomatoes
I have been trying to add more greens to our meals. Surprisingly, they are usually something Cam will easily eat. He loves spinach and kale, so I figured I would try escarole. He didn’t care for it, but my husband and I loved it, so I decided to share it with you….
Cornmeal-Crusted Tilapia
I am breaking my ‘there has to be at least 1 local ingredient’ rule to include this dish. It is one of our favorite simple, basic entrees. Whenever we haven’t had fish in a while, and I feel the need to give Cam a real shot of protein, I know I can turn to cornmeal-crusted tilapia…
Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Crunchy Apple Slaw
I had planned to make this for dinner, but forgot to set up the crock pot before I left the house for the afternoon. By the time I realized it, it was too late to make it for dinner that night. So, I put it up to cook when I got home and set it…
Pumpkin Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies
More cookies…good cookies…pumpkin cookies! I decided to make three versions of this cookie – plain chocolate chip, pecan and walnut. All three were a hit! My 5 year old downed the plain chocolate chip, one daughter the pecan, her friend the walnut, and another daughter loved them all. I send care packages back to…
Cumin-Lime Cole Slaw
Central Delaware is the home to some very tasty cabbage. There are a few weeks a year when it is not to much fun to ride your bike past the fields of cabbage, breathing in the aroma; but once the crop is harvested, the cabbage can be enjoyed through the winter. Cole slaw was one of…
Sticky Date-Nut Bread
I have a love affair with dates. My favorites, of course, are the ones I get in the Middle East, but there are some really good dates to be had that are grown in California. I tasted some fantastic dates at the farmers market when I was in Sonoma County this summer. Now there is…
