Thanksgiving leftover soup #2 is very different from soup #1. As we move away from the indulgences of the Thanksgiving feast, the leftover dish can get a bit heartier. This Southwestern Turkey Soup makes a great lunch or dinner, especially when served with a great, moist cornbread from Cutter Light. Check out their recipe (and…

Cauliflower, Tomato & Feta Frittata
Frittatas are a favorite food in our house. Second only to vegetable hashes topped with eggs.I mean, really, what’s not to love? Eggs, vegetables and, typically, cheese. So good, we tend to dive in before I can take a decent picture… I had bought a locally grown cauliflower. These are so big that the quart…
Tapas Cooking Class in Barcelona
What was the best meal my daughters and I had in Barcelona? It was, surprisingly, the one we and our fellow students made at Barcelona Cooking. We arrived to this beautiful workspace… Then we met our fellow students and instructor, and were divided into pairings for each tapa. I was paired with a lovely woman…
Fresh Lima Bean Gratin
I was not able to get lima beans planted this year and I have been really missing having had a lima bean harvest. So, when Cam and I went to the farm store, we both jumped on the bushels of lima beans. Now that I have so many beans in my refrigerator, I need to…
Zucchini Tian with Curried Bread Crumbs
This was going to be my last dish with the zucchini from my garden, so I wanted it to be a good one. This recipe intrigued me – curry AND rosemary – I wanted to make it, but I wasn’t positive that it was going to actually taste good. Well, it lived up to the hopes…
Corn, Avocado, Chickpea & Tomato Salad
Local corn is still delicious. My tomatoes are still delicious, not so pretty, but oh, so delicious. Look at how luscious they are when I cut them open, that’s when their beauty shines… The girls are all out of the house now, so it is time for us to eat a little lighter and healthier…
Pasta with Tomato Pesto & Corn
To be honest, I was not expecting much when I made this dish. The thought of a tomato-based pesto intrigued me, but I did not expect the nice pesto flavor that the sauce actually had. It had a rich texture from the nuts, a bright flavor from the basil and fresh tomatoes, a great bite…
Zucchini Bolognese
I was planning on actually making meatloaf for dinner, but then to our pleasant surprise, our vegetarian daughter was going to be home for dinner. Quick change in plans. I decided to do an adaptation of Martha Rose Shulman’s Zucchini Parmesan and make a vegetarian Zucchini Bolognese. With the abundance of tomatoes in my garden,…
White Beans with Tomatoes & Garlic
Every time I make this simple bean and tomato dish, I am reminded of how good and how versatile it is. It is great the first night served simply with a hearty bread. It is a treat as a topping for fried eggs. And, not only is it tasty, it is so healthy! Especially when…
Tuna and Green Bean Salad
It was a beautiful day, capped off with an afternoon kayak on Silver Lake. We saw great blue herons and osprey; one osprey even swooped down right over us. And, my son learned how to paddle, he did great, even matched his paddling pace to mine! When you are out in the sun all afternoon,…
