Ok, ok. I admit it - I’ll say it loudly and boldly - I LOVE ROASTED GREEN BEANS. I can’t keep off of ‘em, either. There is just something so enticing about the roasting process - the way the delicious aroma permeates the house; the golden-browned glistening that roasting imbues to veggies; the cute little way that the [...]

Here’s a favorite soup in our family. The Chinese-flavored broth is quite easy to make, and with the addition of a few veggies and long slurpy noodles, you’ll have a winner of a soup on the table in about a half an hour. Enjoy!

Tonight was Middle-Eastern night at our place, and we enjoyed some of our favorite flavors — garlick-y (hummus), salty (olives), and spicy (felafel)— all wrapped in a warm flatbread with some freshly cut veggies tossed in, and a lick of tehina spread. This is Israeli fast-food - mmm, goood. Normally, felafels (chickpea croquettes) are fried in a [...]

One of the dishes I truly missed when I became lactose-intolerant was quiche, which, as some of you may know, includes cheese and milk in its list of ingredients. With all the varieties and flavors of soy cheese now available, and of course, soy milk, making a quiche dairy-free is only limited by your imagination. [...]

After all the good eating I’ve done during this past week while I’ve been away, I am practically in a food coma. I came home and immediately knew that I needed to eat something wholesome, light, healthy, and cleansing. What could be better than an Israeli salad?

I just love roasted vegetables. Roasting develops each vegetable’s essence, and softens and mellows it. What better combination than to add roasted vegetables to a soup? Today, I made an Italian-influenced soup with some of my favorite roasted vegetables, but you could substitute for your own personal favorites. It’s so much fun to experiment in [...]

Steamed broccoli is so good by itself, and acts like a sponge for any dressing or sauce that is delivered to it. Next time you steam some broccoli, try making this quick and easy Asian vinagrette and pour it over top. I modified this recipe from The Best of Fine Cooking 101 Tips (which I can’t [...]

Chopped liver and mock chopped liver have been done dozens of ways, but my friend Dolores made the best “any kind of” chopped liver I ever tasted. Mock chopped liver delivers all the great taste and texture of the real thing, but without the bad fats and cholesterol. The trick is in carmelizing the onions [...]
