Roasted Asparagus with Buttered Almonds, Capers and Dill

April 15, 2018

Initially, this seemed like an unusual combination of ingredients. But because I like all of them it seemed worth a try. This is another great side dish from Yotam Ottolenghi; famous for both his vegetables and desserts. It’s easy to prep ahead of time, and once the asparagus is roasted the sauce comes together in […]

South Beach Diet Oven Roasted Vegetables

April 8, 2018

It’s that time of year to try and undo the damage done by all those comforting, satisfying cold weather meals. (Worth the pain.) The only diet I can have any reasonable shot at staying with is the low carb/sugar South Beach diet. Kind of a more reasonable version of the Atkins. This recipe I have […]

Updated Stuffed Peppers

April 1, 2018

Bon Apetit Magazine seems to be on a mission to take classic recipes and create a “Best Of” version, which is worth keeping an eye on!

Roasted Broccolini and Lemon with Crispy Parmesan

March 24, 2018

This is another great recipe from Alison Roman’s new cookbook “Dining In.” Her description begins with “I’m not the first person to dump cheese onto something, roast it and call it genius, but I do think it’s worth mentioning how wonderful this recipe is.” I agree, Alison. It’s easy and can be prepped ahead, which […]

March 16, 2018

When the restaurant closed where I always ordered this soup, I went searching for a replacement. First stop (what was I thinking?) was a fast food Greek chain; and after 3 nasty bites I pitched my to-go container in the trash. Home on-line, I went searching for a recipe that was worthy without taking all […]

Burrata with Tangerines, Shallots, and Watercress from “Dining In”

March 9, 2018

I love to listen to food podcasts when I walk (does this sound counterproductive?) and when both Bon Apetit and Chef Jamie Gwen interviewed Alison Roman in the same week I knew I had to get my hands on her cook book,”Dining In.” After working in restaurants in NY and San Francisco she landed a […]

Slow-Cooker Green Chicken Chili

February 23, 2018

This could not be easier to make, and works great in the slow cooker, Instapot, or your Dutch oven on the stove! You are basically dumping all the ingredients in, giving it a stir, putting on the lid and walking away. Kind of like a chile verde (which is usually made with pork) or a […]
