I remember having Salad Olivieh in Iran in restaurants when we travelled into the center of the country. When I asked my husband if he would like me to try making it, he jumped on the idea. Unbeknownst to me, it is one of his favorites. So, the pressure was on. As seems to be…

Roasted Cauliflower Melt
I had 8 cauliflower plants growing in my garden. The operative word being “had”. I went out one morning to find the tops eaten off of every one of them. All that was left were the base leaves. Incorrectly, I blamed the bunnies and tried to figure out how they were getting into the garden,…
Smoked Salmon Salad Sandwich on Challah
I finally accepted that I am fated to not have a dry weekend for my husband to till my garden for me. I have an irrational fear of the using roto-tiller, so I picked a dry weekday and decided to hand till (yes, using the hoe) the area I needed to get my early plants…
Mediterranean-style Tuna Sandwich
I have returned from the land of Northern Lights but am having a difficult time getting back into the swing of cooking. So, I will share a simple sandwich recipe with you that I greatly enjoy; and, it continues the fish theme I have had to my eating for the past week or so. I…
Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Crunchy Apple Slaw
I had planned to make this for dinner, but forgot to set up the crock pot before I left the house for the afternoon. By the time I realized it, it was too late to make it for dinner that night. So, I put it up to cook when I got home and set it…
Hummus and Grilled Zucchini/Pattypan Squash Wrap
I had a friend coming over for lunch and did not have time to go to the store. I promised something healthy. Luckily, I had just enough in the house to make an adaptation of Ellie Krieger’s Hummus and Grilled Vegetable Wrap along with some spiced edamame from the garden. The star of this wrap…
Carrot Salad Pita
I have been making this lunch dish for years, but this is the first time I have been able to make it with my own carrots; I am very excited! Stuffed into a pita, it makes a refreshing and healthy lunch. But is it equally good as a side salad with a meal. It is…
Mediterranean Turkey Wrap
I had a long week with a lot of driving, including 1 day when what is normally a 3 hour round-trip became a 6 hour round-trip. So, by the end of the week, I was too wiped out to spend the effort to cook dinner. Time for a wrap – a Mediterranean Turkey Wrap inspired by…
Strawberry Peanut Butter Pitas
I really enjoy having a farmers market just 4 blocks from my office at the University of Pennsylvania. The PA growing season is a little behind mine in Delaware, so I get to extend the seasons for my favorite fruits and veggies. I recently picked up some asparagus, bok choy, sugar snap peas and strawberries….
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…
