I never seem to make enough croutons! Everyone loves these crunchy cubes plain or with added salt or garlic. What a perfect way to re-purpose your left over challah or any other bread you have that’s drying out. I add croutons to soups and salads. My family even likes just […]
Making Mushroom Ears couldn’t be easier. Defrost a box of puff pastry, spread it with sautéed mushrooms and onions, roll up, slice and bake. Mushroom Ears are actually easier to slice when they’re slightly frozen; so I always try to have a few rolls in my freezer for surprise company. […]
These Deviled Hamburgers are flavored with horseradish, mustard, ketchup and Worcestershire (fish free) sauce. Often, I prefer to replace the bun with a grilled Portobello mushroom.

These Brussels Sprouts with Walnuts and Dill are full of flavor and have a wonderful aroma. Steam them gently to retain their bright green color. The result will be tender brussels sprouts with crunch from the walnuts and wonderful herby flavor from the dill. My older grandchildren are allergic to […]
This Corn Pudding recipe was taught to me by two wonderful ladies from the South. The flavor of caramelized corn, sugar and vanilla is irresistible. If you make it with coconut oil, there is a light flavor from coconut although the vanilla covers up most of it. You can always […]
Beets are beautiful to behold, deliciously sweet to eat and full of vitamins! I like to wear gloves when handling beets so that my hands don’t turn red. If you are roasting yellow and red beets at the same time, you should wrap them separately so that the red doesn’t […]
When Winter rolls in and you’re freezing inside and out; it’s great to come home to a big bowl of steaming hot Vegetable Soup. I’ve got a long list of veggies in this soup already; but you can always add or subtract to your taste. Celery root and parsnips would […]
