It feels so good to be cooking again. Making dinners and baking breads really does serve to center me. Especially when I get to use foods I grew. Even though I am planning and preparing my garden for this season, I still have lots of sweet potatoes that I harvested in the fall. This stew…

Lentil Loaf with Maple Balsamic Glaze
As we ate this and I was so surprised at how delicious it was, our daughter laughed and said, “What did you expect, of course it would be bad, you were making it. pause. Of course it was going to be good!” Now, you have to realize how amazing this is – growing up the girls pretty…
Quinoa with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Kale & Feta
I still have PLENTY of sweet potatoes from our garden, about 1/2 a milk crate left (somehow I still have the crates we used to use when I grew up in NY in the 60’s and we still got milk deliveries). The crates are perfect for storing the sweet potatoes. Our last CSA box included…
Potato and Parsnip Latkes
After several days of “let’s make latkes out of anything” including lasagna and mac and cheese, it was time for some “normal” latkes. But not quite normal; parsnips and potatoes are a great combination, so why not potato and parsnip latkes? Parsnips add a nice sweetness that added interest to the latke. It was another reason…
Spaghetti Squash Latkes
Spaghetti squash latkes, who would have thought? Zakah Glaser, that’s who; and I thank her for the recipe I found on Chabad.org. I have to say that these were good the first day, but they were excellent as leftovers. I have no idea why this was true, but that bodes well for making these in advance for…
Jelly Doughnut Challah for Hanukkah
I saw this recipe about 10 months ago, immediately pulled it out and set it on my Hanukkah to-do list. Last year I made the menorah shaped challah. But really, what say Hanukkah more than sufganyot – jelly donuts? So, what could be more perfect than a jelly doughnut challah?! The recipe calls for strawberry…
Teddie’s Apple Cake
I am on a search for “the” apple cake recipe. I am still not there, but this one comes close – chock full of apples, raisins and walnuts – it is delicious! It is perfect for Hanukkah, since it is an oil-based batter. That helps give it a crisp outside with moist inside. I love…
Kimchi Fried Rice
Last month, we got savoy cabbage and oriental radishes in our CSA box. So I made my first kimchi. It came out surprisingly well. If I make it again, I will need to post it, but for now, it will become the star of the fried rice. I also had gotten a very large bok…
Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Spinach Empanadas
I had spent days and days baking cookies and cakes for Hanukkah. I thought I was finally finished baking. I went through 10 lbs of flour in just a few days! I put away my baking mat and pushed the standing mixer back into the corner. I was done. And the next day…I decided to…
Autumn Apple and Cheese Bread
Since our CSA box comes from our local orchard, we can be assured of having apples in the box each week. But each time they are different varieties. Luckily, we got some nice, tart Granny Smiths… So I could make this bread. I have to say that the final bread was not what I had…
