In the freezer now is tomato sauce, corn, pesto, tomatoes, turkey stock and various fruits I froze in the summer. It is time to defrost some frozen corn for this dish by Marcela Valladolid. Simply put, it is amazing. It was funny, no one was really excited about this before I made it, but once…

Ricotta & Pesto Souffle
Remember all that pesto I made and froze? I sent a bag of pesto “cubes” with Emily to keep in her freezer in her apartment. But there is still a lot of pesto in my freezer. So, it is time to thaw some! This dinner highlighted my pesto and Farmer Kim’s eggs in Molly Katzen’s…
Raisin-Peanut-Dark Chocolate Granola and Cranberry-Macadamia Nut-White Chocolate Granola
These sound decadent, and they are, but they are also healthy, with lots of fiber, vitamins and minerals in them. I couldn’t decide what granola to make, so I raided the pantry and came up with these combos. What goes better with macadamia nuts than white chocolate? And dried cranberries and white chocolate are another…
Butternut Squash and Tahini Spread
My oldest daughter (my zucchini bread baker) surprised me with Yotam Ottolenghi & Sami Tamimi’s new cookbook, Jerusalem, for Hanukkah. I am very excited to have access to so many of their wonderful recipes. Today’s is a kind of cross between hummus and baba ghanoush – Butternut Squash and Tahini Spread. Although I shop it here in…
Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese
Who doesn’t love butternut squash? But I have to say that the squash that comes out of my garden is so much more flavorful that what you get in the store, there really is no comparison. If you can’t grow your own, try to get it from a farm market or farmer’s market, it will…
Spinach, Potato & Feta Latkes
I was not going to blog about these since I was only making them for the first time, but something told me to take pictures just in case. This is an adaptation of the recipe for “spanolatkes” from the restaurant Estia in Philadelphia. I found it in Food Network magazine and could not resist adding…
Potato Latkes
Happy Hanukkah! As I have mentioned before, I have a tendency to become obsessed with cooking with one food or one type of food. So, for Hanukkah this year, my focus has become latkes. I have plans for different types of latkes every day – potato, sweet potato, spinach & feta, carrot & zucchini and…
Pesto Bean Dip
Healthy and yummy snacking- my favorite combination. I love beans and I love pesto, but I never had combined them until I tried this recipe from Mollie Katzen’s Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook. I used canned organic navy beans and pesto made from the garden. See my pesto post. Since you can make the petso…
Mashed Potato Latkes – Thanksgiving Leftovers #2
What to do with leftover mashed potatoes? Well that is a no-brainer…potato pancakes/latkes! Making the mashed potato latkes gave me the chance to decide whether I want to do those, or grated potato latkes for our Hanukah party. I like both, so I am still not sure which I will do. We are having an…
Cauliflower and Sweet Potatoes
In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, I try to make dishes that vary greatly from what I will be serving on Thursday. Sunday was my birthday and we went out for sushi, Tuesday, broccoli kale quiche, Wednesday is Moroccan spaghetti squash. Monday was Indian cauliflower and sweet potatoes, based on a Bal Arneson recipe….
