It is peach and blueberry season here in Delaware! Time for a peach sangria! I am sitting here enjoying my glass of sangria, so this will not be a wordy post, just enough to share the fun… Last weekend I went to Harvest Ridge Winery to run my first 5k since last fall. I had injured myself the…

Kale Salad with Gouda
The kale in my garden is ready for first harvest! As you can see I am growing two different types of kale, curly and siberian. The curly kale is still small, but the siberian has grown more quickly. I harvested enough to make a flavorful Caesar-type salad to have with our lasagna. The flavor was…
Asparagus Fries
I do love asparagus season! We have been eating it almost every day. But the boy is not yet a fan, so I keep trying different ways of serving it and having him try it. I will admit that I only half-heartedly push him into eating it; if he doesn’t then there’s more for the…
Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler
It’s strawberry time in Delaware! Just not in my garden yet. My strawberries are still a couple of weeks away, but Fifer Orchards has high tunnels, so their strawberries are in, and they are delicious! Rhubarb is also in now as well, so…. And where did I get the recipe for this happy dessert? It is the…
Kubana – Yemenite Pull-Apart Sabbath Bread
This was another new one for me; I had never made a steamed bread before. And, although it was not pretty, it was incredibly tasty. Along with the overnight steamed bread, I made some huevos haminados (Sephardic slow-roasted eggs). They are the silver packets you see in the bread. The egg whites turn a beautiful…
Roasted Asparagus with Romesco Sauce
Local asparagus is in!!! To me, this is the real sign that spring is here. We will be obsessively eating asparagus for the next few weeks, it’s one of our traditions… “When they pick it, we will eat it” We also still have some matzoh left over, so I decided to make the romesco sauce…
Brussel Sprouts, Sweet Potatoes and Eggs with Pomegranate Molasses
Can you believe I STILL have sweet potatoes from my garden?! Whether it really was a good harvest or just the fact that I took 8 weeks off from cooking during my campaign, I am not sure. But here is what part of the harvest looked like. We got some nice brussels sprouts this week,…
Southern Sweet Challah (Doris Koplin)
Practically perfect…that is the only way to describe this challah. I can say that because this is not my recipe, it is actually a recipe from Doris Koplin of Atlanta that I got from Maggie Glazer’s book A Blessing of Bread. But truly, this was as amazing challah. With the icing and raisins it was like…
Escalivada (Catalan Roast Vegetables)
I am in love! I want to put these vegetables on everything! And yes, we were continuing our Spanish theme from Passover. It was so simple. Rub on some oil, sprinkle with salt, wrap in aluminum foil, then bake. Unwrap, peel, chop and sprinkle with olive oil, salt and sherry vinegar. And, ta da! A…
Quajado
Our Spanish Passover continues… Lauren is home, so we needed a vegetarian dinner option and opted for a Quajado, an egg, cheese and vegetable dish. For tonight, we used zucchini, feta and cheddar. The combination was simply delicious. Salty, rich and slightly sweet. To complete the dinner we added a Spanish spinach dish with pine…
