I included a good number of kookoos, or Persian omelets, on this blog and in my first cookbook. For the most part, they are very traditional kookoos. For my next cookbook, I decided to create a mash-up of one of our go-to dinners – roasted vegetables and eggs – as a kookoo. Oh wow! It…

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,…
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…
Quinoa with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Kale & Feta
I still have PLENTY of sweet potatoes from our garden, about 1/2 a milk crate left (somehow I still have the crates we used to use when I grew up in NY in the 60’s and we still got milk deliveries). The crates are perfect for storing the sweet potatoes. Our last CSA box included…

We love roasted Jerusalem artichokes and other vegetables. It is such a versatile method of cooking them, there are so many ways to use…
Kale and Sweet Potato Taco Salad – Vegetarian
Finally, a kale salad that is definitely worth writing home about! I will be honest, I had low expectations of this, but it was great, really fun and enjoyable to eat. I think there were 2 key points, how well massaged the kale was and the crunch of the tortilla chips. The big surprise was…
Turkey Soup
After the heavy Thanksgiving meal, I find a really just want a soup for dinner the next day. And, luckily, Thanksgiving dinner leaves me with the makings for a great turkey stock to use as a base for the soup. Right after dinner, I ripped apart the carcass, put it on a tray and roasted it…
