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…

Kale Salad with Gouda
The kale in my garden is ready for first harvest! As you can see I am growing two different types of kale, curly and siberian. The curly kale is still small, but the siberian has grown more quickly. I harvested enough to make a flavorful Caesar-type salad to have with our lasagna. The flavor was…
Asparagus Fries
I do love asparagus season! We have been eating it almost every day. But the boy is not yet a fan, so I keep trying different ways of serving it and having him try it. I will admit that I only half-heartedly push him into eating it; if he doesn’t then there’s more for the…
Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler
It’s strawberry time in Delaware! Just not in my garden yet. My strawberries are still a couple of weeks away, but Fifer Orchards has high tunnels, so their strawberries are in, and they are delicious! Rhubarb is also in now as well, so…. And where did I get the recipe for this happy dessert? It is the…
Kubana – Yemenite Pull-Apart Sabbath Bread
This was another new one for me; I had never made a steamed bread before. And, although it was not pretty, it was incredibly tasty. Along with the overnight steamed bread, I made some huevos haminados (Sephardic slow-roasted eggs). They are the silver packets you see in the bread. The egg whites turn a beautiful…
I am published in a cookbook…Yay!!!
My copy just arrived in the mail today… Thank you to the ladies of the Monday Morning Cooking Club for asking me for a recipe and then liking it enough to include in their latest cookbook “It’s always about the food.” When they asked if I could do a lamb recipe, I knew exactly what…
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…
Roasted Asparagus with Romesco Sauce
Local asparagus is in!!! To me, this is the real sign that spring is here. We will be obsessively eating asparagus for the next few weeks, it’s one of our traditions… “When they pick it, we will eat it” We also still have some matzoh left over, so I decided to make the romesco sauce…
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,…
Southern Sweet Challah (Doris Koplin)
Practically perfect…that is the only way to describe this challah. I can say that because this is not my recipe, it is actually a recipe from Doris Koplin of Atlanta that I got from Maggie Glazer’s book A Blessing of Bread. But truly, this was as amazing challah. With the icing and raisins it was like…
