Red cabbage is one of my all-time favorite vegetables. On more than one occasion, I’ve made a meal of them. An extra generous mound of crumbled goat cheese on top easily makes this dish a meal. Or, you could add a grilled chicken breast or a portion of broiled salmon […]
We’re not soup people. We’re more likely to go for a bowl of chili or a hearty stew. But, it’s definitely time to sneak a few more soups into the supper schedule while there’s a chill in the air. Whether those sniffles were caused by a cold, flu or pollen, […]
And, if you have to.. you can buy them, too! Adding a thick chunk of Parmigiano rind makes a great way to add flavor and richness to a variety of Italian soups. My favorites are chicken based broths with bitter greens and white beans. But, a tomato based […]
I love avocados. They’re so rich, creamy, and satisfying. Just add at least half of an avocado to any salad and you’ve turned it into a meal. This could work with fruit salads, too. I prefer avocado in my savory salads. But, I’ve been know to sprinkle a little bit […]
Pastina… It can refer to any tiny pasta. Or, it might refer to a dish made by Italian grandmothers everywhere. It’s a simple blend of chicken soup, broth, stock, and veggies. My grandmother added the pastina directly to the chicken soup. So, that’s how I make it. This […]

Probably because of all of the holiday excess, I get into a frugal mood out of the blue. After coring a particularly delicious pineapple, I wondered. What could I do with the fiber-y core. First thought, it’s smoothie time. The fiber-y bits in the resulting smoothie were barely noticeable.
The Mozza Cookbook Sometimes it’s the simple things. In this case, it’s a recipe for long-cooked broccoli. Many people hate broccoli. But, I love it. It brings back many fond childhood memories. Many of those memories revolve around a holiday table filled with delicious food cooked with lots […]
Inspired by this recipe at Serious Eats, I found myself drinking my favorite breakfast of the week. Using the juice of 1/2 of one extremely juicy lemon, lemon and freshly ground black pepper were the dominant flavors. Hints of fresh veggies were a lovely background note. Kale Mary […]
Crispy bits of smoky bacon spiced up this simple version of spicy fried rice. This serves two very hungry adults. For a lighter meal, measure out one cup of rice per person. Then, top each serving with one fried egg. Save the leftover rice (about 1 cup) for another meal. […] |
