Round Two Pasta

This pasta is so delicious and beyond easy.  It is the perfect example of how you can reinvent leftovers into something brand new.  I find that having a homemade sauce or dressing on hand helps me create healthy, flavorful meals in a snap.  It is also a great reason to always grill extra chicken, flank…

Thai Bok Choy Salad with Ginger Peanut Sauce

People often say that restaurant salads taste better than what they make at home.  This recipe will change their minds!  The beauty of this salad is that it can be made a thousand different ways based on what you are in the mood for and what you have on hand. Typically, I make a similar…

Thai Ginger Peanut Sauce

In my quest to seek out and shine a light on one delicious recipe each week from other cooks, something from my friend Ann (yes, another Ann!) of Sumptuous Spoonfuls fame, caught my eye.  I adore Thai flavors, love all things peanut-ty, and haven’t made anything which fits that bill recently.  Having some ingredients that…

Maple Dijon Roasted Root Vegetables

Ever since I devised the recipe for Apple-Pecan Spring Greens with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette, we have eaten that salad a lot!  I initially made it to mimic a restaurant salad that my dad really enjoyed and have become quite a fan, myself.  The addition of Spiced Pecans makes me really swoon! When a friend told me…

Chili-Maple Glazed Salmon

A simple spice rub and easy glaze meet protein- and omega 3-rich salmon in this effortless entree that’s worthy of the regular dinner rotation!     Early every spring, on a family farm in Lander, Pennsylvania, friends of ours engage in the annual tradition of “sugaring.”  The labor of love requires hand-drilling their Maple trees,…

Maple Blackberry Sauce

Fresh fruits are such a great topping for oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream, pound cake, cottage cheese, shortcake…I’m sure you could add a few more items to the list.  When fresh fruits aren’t available–and after I’ve used the last of the strawberry-rhubarb sauce I freeze every year–I turn to frozen, organic fruit for quick and delicious…

Indian Roasted Vegetables over Lentils

When I need staples like toilet paper or paper towels, I make a trip to Costco, and I invariably find a few other items that weren’t on my list!  Last time, I saw a bag labeled “sprouted grain trio” which was a mix of grains, including lentils, that cooks in five minutes.  Grains that are…

Mango Macadamia Muffins

My kids are crazy about mangos.  When I made Mango-Peach Smoothies recently, I marveled at the thick, velvety texture the mango created.  With their wonderful texture and incredible sweetness, I started thinking mangos would make a great muffin.  Yet, we seldom (never?) see mango muffins!  I was also thinking that pureed mango could be incorporated…

Sauteed Kale with Pancetta

A nutritional powerhouse, kale is truly one of my all-time favorite vegetables and I find ways to put it in everything from soups and salads to frittatas.  Simply sauteing with a little garlic and onion is a quick and delicious preparation and a superb salad substitute.  Adding a small amount of pancetta will add a smoky,…

Speedy Guacamole

Homemade guacamole can be made in a flash using your favorite salsa.  If you just need a little, cut the recipe in half; double it if you are feeding a crowd.  Either way, you can whip this up in no time! Try this on Mexican Pizzas for a real slice of heaven!

Eggs, Lox and Avocado Toast

After making–and falling completely in love with!–my Brown Soda Bread with Steel Cut Oats, I was contemplating fun ways to use it for a simple meal.  Given an overload of eggs from our backyard chickens, I knew I wanted to put some of them to use.  I had also been thinking about the traditional cream…

The Ruby Red

My husband is a big fan of Fresca, so a friend of ours concocted this drink to please him.  I thought the combination was brilliant and took a shining to it myself.  The best part is that it tastes great with or without the alcohol and the grapefruit juice provides a good dose of Vitamin…
