The contrast of sweet and spicy, the textures and colors make this one of my favorite summertime dinner party recipes. I serve it with CMF Quinoa with toasted pecans and green onion or with Cilantro Rice and a simple spinach salad with peas. For dessert: Mango Mousse and following the pineapple for a tropical theme I […]
I was looking for a simplified recipe for a classic birthday cake that didn’t require three different bowls and beating egg whites. This recipe fit my criteria and was delicious. I cannot bring myself to put 1 1/2 cup of sugar in a single recipe so I reduced to 1 cup and no one missed […]
This recipe for my Easter Menu was inspired by the Lemon Barley Pilaf from Epicurious Lemon Barley Pilaf Given that orzo is a pasta, I think it will be more enticing to little ones with selective palates that will celebrate Easter with us. If whole-wheat orzo is not easily available, this can be made with […]
Serves 8 Setting out to create my Easter menu, asparagus was one of the first thoughts that came to mind. Ever since I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver years ago, I associate asparagus with spring.

The contrast of kale with the sweetness of apricots and crunch of the nuts makes this a memorable salad. No apricots or pine nuts? No problem! Use raisins, cranberries or dates instead and any other chopped nut (almond, walnut or sunflower/pumpkin seeds. You can also use spinach instead of kale. Toss in some leftover cooked […]
Sometimes I use red or yellow bell peppers instead of the poblano peppers. For a dinner party I like to make both: half a platter with poblano pepper sauce, half a platter with yellow (or red) bell pepper sauce. It’s not only because the colors are pretty, but it gives guests the option of spice […]
