Za'atar Labney Roasted Garlic Dip

Za’atar Labneh Roasted Garlic Dip

Ooooh!  This recipe is a perfect choice to take to a holiday party – you wanna know why?  Because you really want to eat it all yourself, & taking it means you get to eat it slathered all over a few slices of pita & walk away. I don’t think I would be walking away […]

Forbidden Rice Soup

Forbidden Rice Soup

Forbidden Rice Soup is purple. It’s a comforting kind of purple, with lots of veggies peeking out of the soup, but purple-ish grey is not a color that many are accustomed to when looking into their soup bowl.  So be prepared. That being said, it may just be the most comforting, creamy, luscious of all […]

Some foods make me feel like a cat; I just wanna curl up around the bowl & purr. My recipe for Broiled Eggplant, Tomatoes & Lentils is just such a food. It’s easy to cook, hearty, healthy & a family pleaser. Awesome with some hearty bread, in a Buddha Bowl, as one of many appetizers […]

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Ginger, Feta & Shallots

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Ginger, Feta & Shallots

The sweetness of Sweet Potatoes really needs acid & earthy bitterness to balance it; even as a young kid I just couldn’t understand that Thanksgiving dish with the Marshmallows. This recipe adds the heat of fresh Ginger Root, acid of Lemon Juice, almost garlic of Shallot to the sweetness of the Honey to make a […]
