Turkey Meatloaf with Dried Apricots

Apricots seems to bring some kind of alchemy to this meatloaf, adding moisture, texture and a delightful flavor. Ground bison or beef can be used instead of turkey. Toss some vegetables with what I think of as “roasting oil “ (about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil mixed with 1 tablespoon minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon coarse […]

Arugula Frittata

Frittatas are started in an oven-safe skillet cooked on the stovetop and then finished in a pre-heated oven. I like making them for brunch, but frittatas are also fabulous way to use leftovers and make a quick lunch or dinner. Simply beat eggs, mix in leftover cooked vegetables and or meats (I’ve used chicken, sausage, even […]

Cumin Quinoa and Garbanzo

I like the combination of rice and quinoa, and this dish can be more interesting using wild rice or red quinoa if it is available. But for quicker cooking on a busy night, you can use a single grain (either brown rice or quinoa). You can also make this with another grain such as barley […]

Coconut Red Lentil Curry

Red lentils are made from whole yellow lentils that are peeled and split in half, exposing the red color under their outer seed coat which makes them cook quickly. This dish comes together easily and leaves bellies full and happy. If cooking for children or those who don’t enjoy spicy food, leave the Serrano/jalapeño peppers […]

Moroccan Tagine with Chicken and Garbanzo

Tagine is traditionally a stand-alone […]

Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apple and Walnuts

This can be a satisfying entree by adding 1 cup of leftover (cooked) quinoa or brown rice, and avocado.

Meatless or Not Lentil Chili

Make it vegan by leaving out the beef. It’s also an easy way to make a dinner for both omnivores and non-vegans. Cook the ground beef separately, set aside. Once the chili is cooked split it into two pots and add the cooked beef into one of the pots. I’ve made it vegan, with ground […]

Poblano Pepper Sauce

This is originally for the Chicken Breasts with Poblano Pepper Sauce, but it pairs deliciously with roasted pork tenderloin or pork chops. Instead of poblano peppers I sometimes use red or yellow bell peppers. Or for a dinner party I will make both. On the serving platter I alternatively put poblano pepper sauce or yellow […]
