Cuban Black Beans Recipe

Give me all the peasant food. I need nothing fancy to make me happy and satisfied. A good bean soup or bowl of braised lentils or refried beans is what I crave. I basically could never go Paleo because I can’t give up legumes! There are many different cultures which use legumes in their cooking – from the Mediterranean and the Middle East to India and Caribbean. Let’s not forget Latin America, South America and North America! Legumes are a nutritious, inexpensive and versatile staple in many kitchens around the globe. Did you also know beans with black or red color have crazy high amounts of antioxidants?

Roasted Fish with Chermoula Recipe

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I am hoping you made something naturally green this morning, like these Green Muffins or Green Pancakes, and rejected green-dyed bagels. A green juice would be rather appropriate today, as well. Now let’s move on. 😉 Not only is it St. Patrick’s Day, but it is also a mere few days before the first day of spring, a day of rebirth and nature’s way of starting fresh.

Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Recipe

Baking bread, real bread, can be a challenge. There’s yeast and proofing and rising and time – lots of time. It’s not super practical if you work out of the home with regular 9 to 5 hours. Which is why I don’t make bread anymore. I used to make challah and round peasant loaves and the occasional cinnamon-raisin bread. In fact, I used to bake bread in high school and then in college. (Another possible reason my college boyfriend married me.)

Split Pea and Barley Soup Recipe

St. Patrick’s Day is approaching and I am here to tell you that you do not need to make corned beef and cabbage to be in the spirit. Make anything green — spinach risotto, kale salad, a mint chip smoothie — and you’re good in my book. I actually discovered recently that split pea soup can have Irish roots. Who knew? So this might be a nice way to have a healthy and delicious St. Patrick’s Day dinner without a lot of fuss.

Hashbrown and Spinach Casserole Recipe

I do not want to open a restaurant, but if I did it would be called “He Said, She Said.” I would have a big chalkboard menu with two sides, one for dude food and one for lady food. That way, my husband and I would always agree on a place where we could both get what we wanted. French Dip sandwich for him and a kale salad with wild salmon or quinoa for moi.

Greek Sheet Pan Chicken with Lemon and Potatoes Recipe

I’m that girl who makes an effort to encourage all the food on her plate to touch. In fact, I’m so weird that I’ll set the table for my family with a plate at everyone’s place and a shallow bowl for me. It looks odd, but I love eating out of a bowl as you know. All my food gets nice and cozy together, which is basically Mr. Picky’s NIGHTMARE. So what could be better in my eyes than a one pot or a one pan meal? Not only is everything all co-mingled, but it’s so easy!

Moroccan Vegetable Soup Recipe

I can’t think of anything more comforting than a bowl of soup. Warm, filling, and nourishing, homemade soup feels like a big hug. My husband and my kids (especially Mr. Picky) all love soup and I love making it because it’s easy, flexible and soup makes great leftovers.

Kibbeh Kebabs (Beef and Bulgur) Recipe

To anyone who might be offended that I am liberally calling these kebabs “kibbeh,” I apologize in advance. I know I am taking some liberties with this recipe and there are many who might think there’s not enough of one spice or another, or that they should be fried or made with lamb, but if I called these kebabs something else, then a whole other group of people would be offended. So let me start out by saying that I am in no way an expert in Middle Eastern cuisine, but I am an expert in what my family likes and they could eat these kebabs several times a week if I made them. So I think you should know about this recipe, whatever you decide to call it.
