Does anyone else feel like they have more zucchini right now than they know what to do with? I made this dish last week…it was inspired by two things: (1) I had a bowl full of zucchini pulp leftover from making stuffed zucchini, and (2) I was craving a curry dish. This turned out to be really good, although I must admit chicken makhani is still my favorite Indian dish. I would say this dish is somewhat of a cross between channa masala and baigan bharta (only with zucchini instead of eggplant). Like curry powder, garam masala is a blend of several spices, and […]...
Strawberry Shortcake Oats
I wanted to hurry up and post this recipe before summer is completely flittered away. I realize that most of you probably get to enjoy longer summers than I do (summer in upstate New York is a short and sweet affair), but I still thought I better hurry up and post this already, especially since I’ve been dreaming about strawberry shortcake oats since the start of strawberry season. As much as I love strawberries and shortcake separately, I’m not a huge fan of strawberry shortcake, mainly because I don’t like soggy cake. With oats as the shortcake replacement, the soggy cake problem is completely eliminated. […]...
Balsamic & Brown Sugar Fig Canapés
These pretty little morsels are perfect for a picnic or party. They’re portable and they taste amazing served straight out of the oven or at room temperature. This recipe makes 24 two-bite sized canapés, but you can adjust this number based on how large or small you make them. These were delicious as is, but next time I make them I think I’ll experiment and add a sprinkle of something on the top…maybe powdered sugar or basil chiffonade? Any other garnish suggestions?…I would love to hear them! I’m sending this recipe off to Kamran at The Sophisticated Gourmet for this week’s BSI…brown sugar! […]...
Hunger is Closer to Home Than You Think
Hunger in America It’s hard to believe that in a land where food and drink seem to be so plentiful, 36 million Americans do not know where their next meal will come from. In the state of New York alone, 9.8% of people suffer from food insecurity. It boggles my mind to think that almost 1 out of 10 people I know could be going to bed hungry. Over 12 million children in the U.S. are growing up hungry. The physical, mental, and emotion consequences of hunger are devastating, especially on children, and include the following: weakened immune system, cognitive and behavior developmental […]...
Baked Pizza Logs
Pizza logs are delicious, easy to make, and they’re a fun way to switch up pizza night. Plus, if you’ve got kids who are picky eaters, pizza logs are a great way to sneak veggies into their food. Like a pizza, you can customize them and use any filling you want…turkey pepperoni and mushrooms are another favorite of mine. Baked Pizza Logs with Sausage, Pepper, and Onion (Yield: 8 pizza logs) 1 link Tofurky Italian Sausage, diced 1 onion, diced 1 red pepper, diced 1 TB olive oil 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded ½ c thick marinara sauce 8 eggroll wraps […]...
Arabic Stuffed Zucchini (Kousa Mahshi)
I learned to make this dish while visiting my mother-in-law in Syria. She is a truly amazing woman; she excels at whatever she puts her hands to, and of course she is a fantastic cook! Since I’m a beginner at speaking Arabic and she’s a beginner at speaking English, our time together in the kitchen involved a lot of pointing, gesturing, nodding, and excitement when the other person finally understood what was being communicated. But that just made it all the more memorable. In Syria, the zucchini is a lot smaller than the zucchini typically found here (a 6” zucchini there is pretty big!), so […]...
Cherry Almond Shortbread Tartlets
I made these for a small birthday tea party for my niece who just turned six (I guess girls of all ages love tea parties!). I love the combination of cherries and almonds, but you can use any combination you like…I think peach and pecan would also be amazing. These elegant little tarts are sweet, but not overpoweringly sweet. They’re perfect to enjoy with a cup of fruity herbal tea. Cherry Almond Shortbread Tartlets (Yield: 36 tartlets) ½ c (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened ½ c extra virgin coconut oil (if you don’t have this, just use unsalted butter) ½ c […]...
Cardamom-Spiced Mocha
Cardamom in coffee might sound strange, but cardamom is typically added to Turkish and/or Arabic coffee. Cardamom is related to ginger, and it has a eucalyptus-like aroma and a warm flavor similar to cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, but with lemon-citrusy undertones. Not only does it add a very complex flavor to coffee, but according to The Herb & Spice Companion, there is some evidence suggesting that cardamom reduces the effects of caffeine in coffee. I really like the use of cardamom in mocha because all of its flavor complexities pair well with the various flavor notes in the cocoa powder. And it’s even better […]...
Roasted Zucchini Spaghetti Pie
Zucchini is like a blank canvas. It’s hard to find a vegetable that’s so versatile, so amazingly delicious in so many recipes, from zucchini Milanese, to zucchini latkes, to stuffed zucchini, to zucchini cookies, etc. This time of year, everyone I know is trying to find new ways to use up their zucchini. The great thing about this pie is that you can use any roasted vegetable you have on hand. If you have the time, don’t skip the roasting step because it really deepens the vegetable’s flavor. This pie is delicious deconstructed as well…just cook up some pasta and top it with marinara […]...
Oatmeal Ricotta Pancakes with Fresh Cherry Topping
I love breakfast meals. They’re filling, nutritious, relatively fast to make, and usually cheaper than other meals. Why not eat the most important meal of the day (breakfast!) for any meal? The recipe below is for one serving, because I’m sad to say my husband doesn’t like breakfast foods (aside from eggs, sunny-side up or scrambled), but also because this makes it easy to adjust for any number of people. Oatmeal Ricotta Pancakes with Cherry Topping (Yield: 1 serving) 2/3 c rolled oats (I used Quaker Old-Fashioned) ¼ c plus 1 TB ricotta cheese, divided 1 egg ½ small banana, mashed 1 […]...
