Spinach and Tabouleh Salad
Spinach and Tabouleh salad is what happens when I get a craving for my favorite ingredients all at the same time. As you may already know, I'm a HUGE spinach eater. Blanched, baked or fresh, I'll eat spinach anyway, anyday, it's served to me. I'm also a big fan of mushrooms. In much the same way, I will eat them anyway they can be cooked. Tabouleh or bulgar wheat is fairly new to me. I've... More...

My beautiful friend, Cheryl, brought this incredibly addictive salad slash dip to our party the other night. She carried it in a BIG ol'bowl. I thought she might have gone overboard and made too much. It turned out, she knew exactly how much to make. We couldn't get enough of this tangy sweet collage of goodness. We walked past it dipping our chips all night long. And when it was time... More...

Instead of the traditional mayonnaise-based dressing, Kim's Coleslaw Salad uses oil & vinegar with a touch of sugar. It's zesty, fresh, crunchy and hard to stop eating. This particular recipe is a BIG HIT for potluck meals. Kim has told me that even when she has doubled the recipe for parties, hoping to bring home leftovers, she ends up bringing home an empty bowl. Beside using oil &... More...

It's that time of year. We're all feeling it. If we see one more dirty snowpile, one more pair of salt encrusted snow boots or one more sidewalk to shovel, we'll go insane and smash the snow shovel into little pieces. Don't do it! I have a tasty alternative. Close your blinds, turn up the thermostat for one hour and put on some shorts...or not if you look into the mirror to find that your pasty... More...

"What's for lunch?" I mumble to myself while staring into the frig. "Anything and everything!" I answer. "That won't make me any fatter?" I cry back. To which I reply, "Uuuh." Do you talk to yourself while looking for your next meal? I do all the time. This lunch came without a plan. It looks weird, I know, but it was GOOD. I ate every bite. I made it based on what I had in the frig and in the... More...

This chickpea salad is super fast to throw together and tastes AWESOME! It's very filling and makes a perfect light meal. I've made it a habit to cook up a bag of chickpeas in the pressure cooker, so I can have them on hand when the craving hits. Yesterday, I made Charlie a batch of Italian Soup to take to lunch. Of course, I had plenty of chickpeas leftover to make hummus AND something else, but... More...
