Edamame Israeli Salad
I think the ratio of crunch to soft is key in any Israeli Salad. I add celery to mine so that there is more crunchy bits which helps me offset the added beans which have a smoother texture. So do any of you lovelies think about the crunch ratio in your foods, or is this […]
Tahini, Asparagus & Bulgar Wheat Salad
Bulgar Wheat is great for Tabouli (also spelled Tabbouleh), I get it. And yet, I think of Tabouli as a summer salad perfect with super fresh cucumbers & tomatoes. For spring, I’m going in a different direction with my bulgar wheat salad & using the asparagus that shows up in my markets in late April/early […]
Harissa & Clementine Chicken Marinade
This versatile marinade can be used for Chicken Thighs, Breasts, whole birds, even fish. It works wonderfully in the oven & out on the grill. The lazy protein gets to bathe in the marinade all day or overnight to let the flavors develop, & the salty brine gets into the meat to plump it up. […]
Tuna Poke Bowls
My youngest has a shellfish allergy. He has gone into anaphylaxis once (shout out to Johns Hopkins Hospital). I think his allergy is to raw oysters – which is why he’s only ever had one reaction. We love eating fish meals & it has been a real joy to be able to get fish from […]
Ginger Pecan Granola
The irony isn’t lost on me: I’m posting this recipe during Passover when we can’t eat this– it is strictly forbidden in my home. Our family has always subscribed to the less, not more, philosophy during Passover which is to eat clean for the week & not have to buy a million special things at […]
Dilly Green Beans
Lots of meals start with Salatim in our home; small salads like baba ganoush, hummus, veggies & dip, & pickles. I quick pickle different veggies as the mood hits &, as is often the case, based on what looks good at a market. You can find my Daikon Radish Quick Pickle recipe on The Feed […]

You know what else? Think outside the chip, this makes […]
Roasted Festival Parmesan Squash With Dijon Vinaigrette
Having a festival soon? I thought that I would post my recipe for Roasted Festival Parmesan Squash With Dijon Vinaigrette so that you could consider it for your Easter or Passover meals. While this could be the entree for the lacto-vegetarians at your dinner table it makes a great side dish for any of your […]
Caponata
There are some foods that hook you by their taste – think of testing ice cream blindfolded & it will be the flavor of that ice cream mixed with the creaminess & the cold that your palate will react to & you will know in an instant which ice cream tastes better than the rest. […]
Chocolate Truffles to be Given Away
When I hear of boxes of Rum Truffles dusted in Wilbur Cocoa & Peppermint Truffles rolled in crushed Andes Mint Cremés, I don’t image biting into one and getting that rush of chocolate-laced endorphins. I think holiday gifts in cute tins for the neighbors, the co-workers, the teachers. Confession time, my friends: I don’t like […]
