For those of you who want a shortcut.... If you want a quick recommendation and don't have time to look over the myriad recipes I ... Read More »
Tabbouleh Salad
This Tabbouleh Salad is so quick and easy to prepare! You don't even have to cook the bulgur wheat--Really, you don't! All you need to do is throw everything into one bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours so the bulgur wheat can soak up and absorb all the wonderful "juices" and flavors! It's a perfect summer salad that goes with just about everything. I just ... Read More »
Biscotti Dipped in Dark Chocolate
I LOVE biscotti! If you have ever had the pleasure of dipping an after-dinner biscotti in a little cappuccino in a romantic little Trattoria in Italy, you'll feel the same way about these! These little Italian cookies are unique and absolutely delightful. They are a bit of a "production" to make, I have to admit, certainly not typical of my other recipes. The word Biscotti, ...

A Cookie Makeover!
UPDATED ON OCTOBER 29, 2016--Last week I wrote about putting sugar in its place (click here for post). It stands to reason that I should talk about what that place might be! When we think cookies, we think dessert and we think sweet, of course! It would be fair to say that an honest-to-goodness cookie should have absolutely nothing to do with... a potato chip, right? Well, ... Read More »
Grilled Corn Salad with Fresh Mint
I love grilling fresh corn! It gives the kernels that wonderful fire-roasted taste that adds so much to this salad. The fresh mint and lemon are so refreshingly delicious and just unusual enough, combined with corn, that my guests invariably come back for more! I like to serve it in individual little "tapas" bowls, each topped with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint. ... Read More »
Milk and Dairy
This is a blog from the archives that I wrote about a year ago. Interestingly, although I stand by everything that I said back then, very much in line with my husband's more in-depth exposé "Milk Manifesto" (it's a great article, I highly recommend it!), my conclusion to "take it" is much more moderate than it had been back then. My own preference has become more of the ... Read More »
Banana Hazelnut Pancakes
These pancakes are made with organic white whole wheat flour which has all the nutritional advantages of traditional whole wheat, but with a lighter color and a milder taste. Here is one I like to use and another one that may be easier to find at your regular supermarket. The batter is filled with ripe banana and ground hazelnuts and the result is outrageously delicious, ... Read More »
Happy Father’s Day!
Behind every good kid is a GREAT DAD! It's so true, and this week-end is the time to honor that!! Whether you are brand new at it and learning your way through, or you have been at it for a lifetime, this day is for all of you Dads! My favorite guy has been at it quite a few times for quite a long time! In fact, he is the reason behind my creating all these ... Read More »
Farro Grapefruit Salad
Farro is one of those grains that is so "forgiving" because you can never overcook it and it always comes out perfectly chewy, but never mushy! its slight nutty taste makes it just right for this salad with a fresh grapefruit vinaigrette. I like to make it with pear or jicama, if you can find it. It's so refreshingly delicious and it's just beautiful! Farro Veggie Salad ... Read More »
