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…

Tuscan Tuna with Beans & Kale
What came out of my garden today? Sage and Kale. What came out previously? Sun-dried tomatoes. Add cannellini beans, tuna, grape tomatoes, celery and olives and you have a bright, colorful and healthy dinner… There was some discussion in the family about the need for the celery – or lack of need. My daughter thought…
Wheat Berries with Asparagus, Kale, Peas, Feta and Fried Egg.
Yes, it’s that time again… Kale bouquets! If you are new to my blog, let me explain… I harvest my kale in the morning when it is cool and stick the leaves in a vase or glass of water to keep the kale fresh and crisp. And, it is fun to look at in my…
Slow Cooker Chicken Marrakesh
We became very well acquainted with our slow cooker during my campaign. A love-hate relationship developed. When a dish worked, it was wonderful. But there were many days when I threw in a whole lot of string spices only to end up with flavorless meat. I was so confused and disturbed. But, we studied the…
Brussel Sprouts, Sweet Potatoes and Eggs with Pomegranate Molasses
Can you believe I STILL have sweet potatoes from my garden?! Whether it really was a good harvest or just the fact that I took 8 weeks off from cooking during my campaign, I am not sure. But here is what part of the harvest looked like. We got some nice brussels sprouts this week,…
Quajado
Our Spanish Passover continues… Lauren is home, so we needed a vegetarian dinner option and opted for a Quajado, an egg, cheese and vegetable dish. For tonight, we used zucchini, feta and cheddar. The combination was simply delicious. Salty, rich and slightly sweet. To complete the dinner we added a Spanish spinach dish with pine…
Persian Sweet Potato Stew
It feels so good to be cooking again. Making dinners and baking breads really does serve to center me. Especially when I get to use foods I grew. Even though I am planning and preparing my garden for this season, I still have lots of sweet potatoes that I harvested in the fall. This stew…
Slow-cooker Beef Ragu
During my Levy Court campaign, pretty much the only type of cooking I did was in the crock pot – slow cooking. The only free time I had was at the very beginning of the day, and that only for about 15 minutes. So, that meant it needed to be recipes with very little preparation…
Lentil Loaf with Maple Balsamic Glaze
As we ate this and I was so surprised at how delicious it was, our daughter laughed and said, “What did you expect, of course it would be bad, you were making it. pause. Of course it was going to be good!” Now, you have to realize how amazing this is – growing up the girls pretty…
Spaghetti Squash Latkes
Spaghetti squash latkes, who would have thought? Zakah Glaser, that’s who; and I thank her for the recipe I found on Chabad.org. I have to say that these were good the first day, but they were excellent as leftovers. I have no idea why this was true, but that bodes well for making these in advance for…
