Hummus Trifecta

This is what happens when you decide to cook up a whole bag of dried chickpeas....they kind of explode on you!!

Fortunately we like them many different ways.

From hummus to falafal and all the new dishes we are trying from 'For the Love of Garlic', (Erin was here and fixed us her ...

Summer Seafood Soup

It might be a bit early to be going all summer on you guys but I just used this for my summer GCF article so why not deliver it here too.  I wanted something light but with enough flavor and substance to make it dinner worthy.  We have always gone down the caldo marisco road when doing ...

Chana Palak (chickpeas & spinach)

Another chickpea recipe! This one is chock full of flavor and enough spinach to make Popeye proud. Chana palak is a classic Indian dish made with spinach, chickpeas and tomato. We usually get it over basmati rice at restaurants but at home, we just had it straight up with some naan. And we ...

Lima Beans from scratch

Most people love to hate on lima beans; saying they are mushy, gross, and disgusting, all with an upturned nose. I understand your hatred, I really do. If all you've had is overcooked or canned limas, you have good reason to think they are only suited to cafeteria slop. But try my method before ...

panna cotta

This has been one of my favorite dishes for a long time. Its very simple, just cooked cream really, but so delicious in its simplicity.  There are an infinite number of additions and sauces you can make for panna cotta, so it can be different every time you make it.  Also, there are few ...

spinach artichoke dip

So this isn't the healthiest thing in the world, but it is dramatically better for you than most spinach and artichoke dips, and still tastes as good (in my opinion, and according to my taste-testers!).

Pepperoni Sizzlie

Most of us aren't on the lookout for unhealthy recipes and if you're seriously trying to watch your waistline,  you might want to avert your eyes. This is in no way, shape or form a healthy recipe but yum, is it good. We like to have them for breakfast with a big cup of steaming coffee but ...

seedy crackers

For some reason the other day I decided to make whole wheat crackers. I had previously tried to make crackers at home when I was about 12 years old. My Dad had given me a great baking cook book with a cracker recipe (which I still have and use as a reference - its a great book!) At the time, ...
