Happy Hanukkah!! Just when you think there can be no other ways to make potato latkes, along comes turmeric. Turmeric is a member of the ginger family with an orange-yellow color when dried and ground. I love turmeric and the color it imparts on food; these latkes are flavorful and beautifully golden. I adapted this…

Fig Graham Bread
If I have any addictions, it is to figs and dates. It flips back and forth as to which I prefer; basically depending on whether I have dates from Israel or Iran around. When I run out of those, I have better access to quality figs than dates, so I switch to obsessing about figs….
Roasted Onions with Lemon
The Brussels sprouts may have been the biggest hit on our holiday table, but the surprise hit was roasted onions. Talk about easy, this was so simple. I went out to my garden and cut some fresh herbs; halved and quartered unpeeled onions and lemons, and threw the vinaigrette ingredients in the blender. It was the…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Honey
All the vegetable dishes were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner, but none was devoured as much as the Brussels sprouts. Surprising? Not to me, I love Brussels sprouts. But usually I get to eat most of them myself. Not this time; they ended up with the least leftovers of anything- even less than the…
Roasted Fall Vegetables with Pumpkin Seed Oil
It was a night when I needed to make a relatively fast dinner, but had no idea what I wanted to make. I stopped at one of the local farm markets and picked up a cauliflower; I decided I would do something with the cauliflower and some of the sweet potatoes from my garden….
Black Rice and Broccoli with Almonds
I think black rice is totally cool. I love the look, the nutty, taste and the texture. And, it is very good for you, it has even higher levels of antioxidents than brown rice. A 100 gram serving of black rice has 8.5 grams of protein, 3.5 milligrams of iron and 4.9 grams of fiber. Compared…
Yummy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
It was meatloaf night at our house. So the sweet potato fries needed to be the flavor that would accompany my husband’s delicious onion soup based meatloaf. Of course, that would be onion and garlic powder seasoned fries! These are great! So simple, yet so tasty. I did not make enough. No worries though, I…
Pumpkin Pancakes
Inevitably, there is leftover pumpkin. And usually it is just the right amount to make some pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. Yum! We like our pumpkin pancakes topped with maple syrup and some cinnamon sugar, a real treat to start the day. Of course, you can multiply the recipe to match the amount of pumpkin or…
Kale Quiche
When I stopped at the farmers market last week, I couldn’t resist buying some kale from Beechwood Orchards. But I had no pans for what I was going to do with it. Then I realized that I had a couple of pie shells in the freezer, regular pie shells, not deep dish. I had enough…
Apple Oat Bran Pancakes with Streusel Topping
A few weeks ago, I was able to go apple picking with all my children. Now that the girls are adults, it is rare to get all of them together, and even more rare to be able to all be together on an excursion. But on this cold but sunny day, we all went to Milburn Orchards…
