How do you save a batch of less than stellar fruit? Roast it. Sometimes the prettiest fruit can lack flavor or have a texture that tells you it’s a fruit that is well-past its prime. Apples, plums, peaches, pears, apricots, and oranges are a few that can hide their flaws […]
Sweet spices can be added to the recipe below. But, why? I think it’s much more interesting to allow the simple flavors of sweet potato and brown sugar to shine. Sweet Potato Bread 2 small roasted sweet potatoes, skins removed 1/4 cup light & fruity olive […]
Leftover quinoa makes a quick and easy frittata. Originally, I prepared the quinoa by simmering it in vegetable broth with sauteed onions and sun-dried tomatoes for approximately 5 minutes. Then, I covered the pan, removed it from the heat and allowed the quinoa to steam and absorb any remaining moisture. […]
Frittata di Ricotta 1 red pepper, diced 1 green pepper, diced 1 onion, finely diced 4 cloves garlic, finely diced olive oil, as needed 1 lb spicy Italian sausage, sliced 24 oz whole milk ricotta 6-8 large eggs 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated 1 sprig basil, julienned […]

Juicers are fine. But, you lose all of that healthy fiber. If you enjoy some pulp in your juice, a powerful blender will do the job even better. But, you do need a blender with sharp blades and a strong motor. Carrot Apple Juice makes 2 glasses
Happy New Year! What’s a great way to doctor up out of season berries? Whip them into a salad. Sweet or savory, marinate firm, tart berries in a citrusy spirit, with a squeeze of lemon or just a sprinkle of sugar to bring out their flavor. It’s shockingly […]
This is an all-purpose vegetable that works well with grilled meat, roasted chicken, sausage or pork. Or, even better, toss with al dente whole wheat pasta, butter & crumbled goat cheese. Roasted Red Cabbage 1/2 head red cabbage, sliced 1 large Vidalia onion, sliced olive oil, […]
There’s more than a little bit of molasses in this recipe. A lot more. It dominates the taste with ease. And, that large dose of molasses adds a density to this gingerbread that gives it an Old English feeling. I’m on the fence. I think I like it.

I love these cookies. All of that great pumpkin & spice flavor is dished up in bite-sized packages. If you have a powerful food processor, you can incorporate the entire pumpkin (flesh & skin) into this recipe. Simply puree the roasted pumpkin until very smooth. Pumpkin […] |
