This was a granola recipe I used to make. I revised it (see the blue ink) to incorporate what I happen to have in my house at this moment. It is still delicious! I think my husband at ¼ of if for breakfast the first day!

Making Khoresh Bademjun (Persian Eggplant Stew) in Sweden
I am in Sweden visiting my daughter and her family. We were invited to their Persian friends house for a cookout challenge – her khoresh bademjun v. my khoresh bademjun. Unfortunately, on the day of the challenge, their family was sick, so it was cancelled. Since I had already roasted 6 medium eggplants, it would…
Zucchini Casserole – Exploring Mom’s Recipe Box #2
Zucchini, mushrooms, tomato puree, and cheese – it’s a winning combination. This looked worth trying. I don’t know whose recipe this was, the recipe, like most, was in my mom’s handwriting, but she usually put a name on top. I have some guesses, I remember eating this (and not because my mom ever actually made…
Exploring mom’s recipe box – revisiting the 1970’s
While searching for some specific papers in my file box of my parents’ “stuff”, I came across my mom’s recipe box. A simple lucite holder of index cards. I had long ago taken out her own recipes, and my versions of those have been in my cookbooks (stuffed cabbage, sweet and sour meatballs, and noodle…
Pasta with Sweet-Roasted Butternut Squash and Kale – Revisited
I have been revisiting some of my early posts. Tonight I made this pasta with sweet-roasted butternut squash and kale. It was delicious, was a big hit for dinner. The only difference was that this time I omitted the half and half. As I thought, it ends up that it really wasn’t a necessary ingredient….
Rick Martinez’ Roasted Tomato Galette
I finally had the chance to go out to a local farm to pick tomatoes yesterday. I picked about 15 pounds, split between whatever varieties they had. Most of it went into canning . Two and a half pound were set aside to try making Rick Martinez’ roasted tomato galette. It is a bit of…
Lentil Fesenjan
I have been creating so many new recipes, and vegan ones, for my next cookbook, that I needed a break. I made my own vegan version of fesenjan, so I decided to simply try someone else’s. I am writing this as I try it, so, come along with me as I make The Minimalist Baker’s…
Roasted Vegetable Kookoo
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…
Winter Squash Polo
It is the time of year when I start to use winter squash a lot. I used kabocha squash tonight, but you could use butternut or other easily peeled squash. Like many of my polos (rice dishes), this was made with what I had in the house. So, in addition to the kabocha squash, I…
Sourdough Blondies
Time for Portia’s first weekly feeding. Portia is the new sourdourgh starter I made here in Portland. After her feeding I was left with a cup of sourdough discard. I also have a bag of dark chocolate kisses and some other chocolates in my kitchen (leftovers from my Mother’s Day treats). I want to use…
