I am sticking this on my blog again. I made this for dinner tonight and Cameron, who has become very picky recently, LOVED it and demanded seconds! That has not happened in a very long time. And I am tickled that it was with a zucchini-based dish. I used ground turkey this time and it…

Slow-cooker Beef Ragu
During my Levy Court campaign, pretty much the only type of cooking I did was in the crock pot – slow cooking. The only free time I had was at the very beginning of the day, and that only for about 15 minutes. So, that meant it needed to be recipes with very little preparation…
Kalam Polo (Persian Rice with Cabbage and Beef)
I have to admit that I was shooting in the dark when I made this. I had made a different version before, and it was ok, not great. But I figured, making a tasty combination of rice, beef and cabbage is kind of in my eastern european, Jewish blood. I just needed to figure out…
Stuffed Cabbage
I hate to say it, but my mother was not such a great cook. But there were a few dishes that she made that were outstanding – sweet and sour meatballs, noodle kugel (when she remembered all the ingredients), chicken fricasse, and stuffed cabbage. Sadly, her stuffed cabbage recipe has been lost. But I have found…
A Lima Bean Twist on Goulash
Perhaps it is my Hungarian grandmother coming through, but I love, love, love this dish! The paprika and lemon flavor combination made me so happy. The dish felt like love from beginning to end. The love started at the beginning with shelling the lima beans. The process started with both Cam and the dog hovering,…

I wasn’t sure how my leg would handle the 10K; my calf seemed healed,but my hamstring was very tight since my 1 mile test run on Thursday. And, it was going to be a trail run with real hills, some steep. So,my goal was to make it through, and I was going to apply the…
Sweet Potato Beef Stew in the Slow Cooker
This is my last sweet potato post from my garden this season. That makes me sad, but pleased that I have had enough to get me this far. For a while we had access to locally-grown, grass-fed beef. During that period, I used to make a lot of beef stews. One that I grew particularly…
Qormeh Sabzi (Green Vegetable and Beef Stew)
This was one of the first Persian dishes I ever ate, and it was in Geneva, Switzerland when I first met the man who was to become my father-in-law. What a wonderful dish and a great way to start my relationship with a wonderful man! It is still one of my favorite Persian dishes, but…
