Eggplant Ragu on Quinoa

Who knew eggplant could be yummy? It’s probably my least favorite vegetable, but this recipe makes an un-favorite veggie into a delicious meal!

Spinach Citrus Salad

In our garden in Cochabamba lives a wonderfully enthusiastic orange tree. It produces truly an astonishing amount of fruit; we’ll harvest 200+ oranges and the tree looks still fully loaded. The garden is also home to a grapefruit tree, more modest in its output. With such abundance, orange and grapefruit ended up in this pretty […]

Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Apricots and Almonds

CMF Rice

I usually use short-grain brown rice, but sometimes I’ll make wild rice or white rice. If using white rice, reduce the amount of water from 1 3/4 cup to 1 1/2 cup. The primary differences among types of rice can be attributed to the predominant type of starch. Long grain rice expands more when cooked […]
