Chef John has done it again - another great little recipe that is a real pleaser. He makes great use of a seasonal vegetable that’s in all the markets right now, and one that I love - asparagus. Coupled with chicken, noodles and a tasty sauce, this dish makes a pretty presentation, feeds a gangful, [...]

One of my favorite times spent in the kitchen is when the refrigerator begins to empty out. Inside the fridge I may find some leftovers or half-filled bags and packages from food shopping and previous cooking endeavors. That’s when my imagination really awakens, and I begin thinking of new recipes and food combinations. My chicken-spinach bake was one [...]

I happened upon this package of Harvest Grain Blends at the Trader Joe’s near me. It looked like such an interesting blend of grains - Israeli couscous, red and green orzo, baby garbanzo beans, and red quinoa. I had to buy it and make something with it. What I came up with was what I [...]

A tagine is a Moroccan clay pot used for stewing and long slow cooking. While I don’t own a tagine, this tagine stew can easily be prepared in your kitchen with your favorite stew pot. It is so flavorful and satisfying, and comes together easily. The list of ingredients is long, but it is not [...]

I prepared this dish and assembled it the night before, and when I came home from work today, I simply threw it in the oven and presto! Delicious dinner after a hard day - what could be more rewarding (besides having the next day off maybe?) This is very easy to make. I hope it [...]

Here’s a great dinner that’s high on flavor and low on carbs. A filling meal, no dairy, and actually tastes even better the next day when you reheat your leftovers (that is, if you have any). Enjoy!

coarse salt
freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Here is a quick and easy dish that makes a great side, or serve it next to your favorite soup for a complete meal. I made it with turkey bacon, but I believe you could have excellent results using veggie bacon, too. Creamy flavored and delicious, and, as always, dairy-free. Enjoy!
Cauliflower bake
1 large head of cauliflower, [...]

Does everyone love chicken pot pie? Everyone I know does. The combination of chicken and vegetables in a warm creamy sauce all tucked under a pie crust is just too good to resist. The traditional sauce of a chicken pot pie is a roux, and usually is made from butter and cream. Margarine and soy milk [...]

Shepherd’s Pie is hearty, and just right on a cold evening. This version is meatless, although it may be hard to tell. I used SmartGround ground meat substitute instead of ground beef, but that was just my personal preference. This stuff crumbles and looks just like ground beef, and absorbs what ever flavors it sits in. [...]

It’s cold out, and I love comfort food. This time-honored dish of kasha and bowties has graced many a plate in many a Jewish household. Kasha, also known as roasted buckwheat, comes in different coarsenesses, and it tastes great in and of itself. But I have added a few more flavors and enhancements to this [...]
