While flipping through my most recent edition of National Geographic Traveler I came across this 1-page article on Socca (chickpea flour crepes). Seeing as the picture indicated that this Socca (which I had never heard of before) was a food, I decided to read on. The ingredient list was simple:...
If you’re in the market for a warm vegetable stew with luscious spices which will reheat well, then I’ve got a dish for you. This is a very mild curry (which you could heat up with some cayanne and/or crushed red pepper if that’s your preference) and it has notes...
Do you typically avoid vegetarian recipes because you assume that they will be bland, possibly lacking in protein, and just not your favorite type of fare? Many folks do. I would like to change your mind with this recipe. It is flavorful, hearty, colorful, packed with protein (17 grams per...
Eggplants are popping out in northeast CSA shares this week. And farmer’s markets are crawling with tomatoes. Thus this seems like the perfect dish to try this week. It can easily fly solo as a vegetarian main course, or be served as a hearty side to a simple sausage or...

When a peppery & crunchy radish is cooked its flavor and texture transform into something wonderful. Something buttery. Something smooth. Something...
For a cool and/or rainy day this is a fantastic stew which manages to be thick and creamy, but not heavy. The sour cream and Greek yogurt give this dish a delightful tang that keeps your mouth coming back for more. The stew comes together easily, and does not take...
I can honestly say that I make stuffed peppers about twice each cool season, and I have never made them the same way twice. Sometimes I stuff them with quinoa & veggies, sometimes with brown rice. When I was a little girl my Mom stuffed green peppers with hamburger &...
