While the spring plants in my garden grow, we are still enjoying our harvest of Jerusalem artichokes. Just when I thought I had run out of interesting new uses for them, I found Guy Fieri’s Fieri Farfalle Salad. This was so full of flavor! And the roasted Jerusalem artichokes really shone as stars. I altered…

Bucatini with Crispy Breadcrumbs and Crispy Eggs
This dish is amazing. The great bite of bucatini, the creaminess of the egg yolk running through the pasta and the crispiness of the breadcrumbs. I will say it again, this is amazing. If you are not familiar with it, bucatini is a spaghetti-like pasta that has a hole running through the middle. If you…
Wheat Berry and Broccolini Salad with Eggs
Farmer Kim eggs are back! Receiving the “do you want eggs” text made my day! To celebrate, a dinner that is topped with beautiful fried fresh eggs! I have come to really like wheat berries, their taste, their bite. They are a nice alternative to rice or pasta. The other alternative vegetable we used tonight…
Baked Farro and Butternut Squash
I picked up a beautiful butternut squash at Highland Orchards, big enough for 2 meals. For the first, I made Ina Garten’s Baked Farro & Butternut Squash. Of course, I was out of farro, so it was really red wheat berries and butternut squash, but that didn’t matter, it was delicious! The taste, the texture,…
Cabbage Leek Latkes topped with Asparagus and Eggs
It is always fun when leftovers turn into a tasty new meal. I had planned on a Passover meatloaf for dinner, but the meat was not yet defrosted, so I checked my vegetable bin – half a cabbage and 1 leek unclaimed for any other meal. Add an egg and some matzoh meal, and I’d…
My Two Adopted March Holidays – St. Patrick’s Day and Persian New Year
As I am busy preparing mentally and physically for Passover, I am taking a break out for “my” two March holidays – St. Patrick’s Day and Persian New Year (Nowrooz). Why are they mine? St. Patrick’s Day – Well that is simple…I grew up in New York City, and all New Yorkers are Irish on…
Spinach Stuffed Shells
When I was a child, I was a horrible eater, so picky. One of my daughters was also a picky eater, and it was a real hassle, but she was easy compared to me. My poor mother, there were so few dinners I would eat; I struggle to think of more than 5. Often, she…
Kale, Spinach & White Bean Soup with Fontina
As you read this, I am in Alta, Norway, above the Arctic Circle. I am hoping to enjoy some interesting food experiences to share, and maybe some new ideas to try. I will be back with more new posts at the end of the month. For now I will leave you with my riff on another…
Slow Cooker Soy-Citrus Chicken
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…
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…
