This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_6965-2.jpgOver the years, I’ve gotten considerably more fond of lentils.  They are so much more than just soup.  I love lentil salads.  And that’s almost what this is (and can be!).  It makes a great backdrop for a piece of grilled salmon, cod or Branzino.  And that’s what we’re doing with it today.

Floating Islands?  Seriously…what has happened to The Goddess?  Has she been into the Rosé to excess?  Or was she out in the sun too long?  Everyone knows that “floating islands” is a dessert.  Yes.  That’s true.  Normally, it is.  But, as you know there’s nothing normal about The Goddess!  Continue reading →

Lentils with Onion, Bell Peppers, Garlic and HerbsLentils make a nice “bed” for some lovely roasted chicken.  Or a piece of grilled fish or pork chop.  Think lentils, instead of rice, pasta or potatoes.  And lentils offer some terrific vitamins and minerals, too.  Oh yes, did I mention they are also delicious?  Continue reading →

bell pepper, Celery, Dijon mustard, Garlic, Green beans, honey, olive oil, onion, radishes, sherry vinegar, sugar, tri-bean blend legumes

We ate a lot of Three Bean Salad when I was a kid.  During the summer, my mother made it frequently.  I think it was because we all liked it, it made a huge batch and it kept well.  All that, and we had almost everything growing in the garden.  I started with her recipe, then took a flying leap!  Continue reading →

The Dynamite Doula, a young woman who is near-and-dear to us, invited us over for lunch.  She has a new “InstaPot”, the pressure cooker-sauté pan-slow cooker pot and a whole lot more.  It turns out we have the same one, kindred spirits that we are!  Anyway, she, and her Dear One, served us a version of this wonderful, rib-sticking, winter-chasing bean soup.  It was supremely delicious, The Spicy Honey loved it and so I decided to see if I can come close to repeating her soup.  Continue reading →

Celery, corn kernels, fresh cilantro, fresh ginger, fresh mint, Greek-style yogurt, kidney beans, mini-bell peppers, pomegranate molasses, Scallions, Spices

I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for a good bean salad.  I ran across a recipe for a bean salad, using garbanzos.  I like garbanzo beans, but I prefer kidney beans for  a salad.  They’re a bit softer and they’re just prettier…and you know, it’s all about how it looks!  Continue reading →

Sweet Potato-Black Bean Salad with Lime-Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette

avocado, bell peppers, Black beans, cilantro, green olives, lime juice, olive oil, pineapple, roasted garlic, Scallions, Spices, sweet potato, vegetable oil

This salad is good at any time of the year.  It is a great summer salad, as no mayo, but it also is lovely in the autumn, when the leaves turn about the same color as the salad.  Make it the day ahead and chill it overnight.  But, it’s best eaten at room temperature.  Add some red chile flakes for a little heat, when the thermometer dips.  Continue reading →
