A couple of years ago, I found a recipe for Matzo Brei with Creamed Spinach and Crispy Onions on Food.Com. I made it and was wowed by it. It has become a necessary part of our Passover meal plan ever since! The only change I have made to the recipe is to use fresh spinach…

Pasta with Asparagus and Eggs
My husband and I really enjoy fresh asparagus, so asparagus season (aka early Spring) is very much enjoyed in our house. But I fear that I will be traveling for a good part of this asparagus season, so I am rushing to fit in as many asparagus dishes as I can before I leave. We were…
Roasted Chicken with Jerusalem Artichokes and Lemon
Spring has sprung here in Dover! We even have enough daffodils blooming that I can start having fresh flowers in the house again. I went out to Farmer Kim to pick up some freshly dug Jerusalem artichokes. Getting fresh veggies again is making me so happy! I have been waiting all winter for the Jerusalem…
Green Fried Rice (Snap Peas, Peas, Spinach, Sprouts & Scallions)
I stopped in at Highland Orchards on my way home and picked up a wonderful basket of green: snap peas, peas, spinach and sprouts. The first new fresh greens of the year! I was so excited! The rest of the drive home was spent figuring out what I was making for dinner with my find. Pasta?…
Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes (or Tomato Confit), Cannellini, Garlic and Spinach
OK, my snack-meal phase is over for now; I am ready to return to focusing on healthy meals. My first half marathon is in just over a week and I have not lost the few pounds I have put on since Amsterdam. I have been fighting injury and illness for the past few months, so my…
Pepperoni Calzones
I used to shy away from making anything that required pizza dough. Then I discovered frozen dough balls. Boy, do they make life easy…and the baked dough tastes good and has a nice consistency. Tonight I used them to make pepperoni calzones. How does this relate to my garden? Well, the sauce is frozen tomato sauce…
Adas Polo – Rice with Green Lentils, Raisins and Dates
Lentils, rice and onions, that wonderful combination. Then add raisins and dates and it turns into a high protein, high energy meal that is also a real treat. I had never tasted Adas Polo before making it, but when I tasted the rice, lentil and fruit mixture, I couldn’t believe how good it was! I…
Breakfast Burritos
Ok…yum! Breakfast for dinner again. I have to admit that I do not like big, heavy breakfasts…ever. But I love breakfast foods, especially for dinner. So when I saw a breakfast burrito by Ellie Krieger, I knew it would be light but satisfying, so I adapted it for my family’s preferences. I love bell peppers,…
Gheimeh (Persian Beef and Split Pea Stew)
Each of my Iranian sisters-in-law have the dish they are best known for. For Nargas it is her gheimeh – a citrus-y beef stew made with split peas and topped with fried potato sticks. It is one of the persian dishes that has eluded me, whenever I have made it, my husband said it was…
Broccoli Pesto Pizza
Growing basil indoors in the winter gives me fresh basil to use to make pesto. There is no denying that I would like this dish even better in the summer and fall when I have my own broccoli and tomatoes to use, but since I love my tender little basil leaves, I will post it…
