15-Minute 4-Bean Harissa & Corn Chili
Two of my favorite things about Autumn are (a) taking a leisurely drive in the country on a sunny day to see the amazing, blazing technicolor show provided by the trees and shrubs, and (b) making a big pot of chili! I like to make a LARGE quantity to last all week. But when it's so beautiful outside, I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen for too long. … Read More...

Curried Beet & Potato Soup
I was at the farmers' market and found a vendor with a HUGE selection of beets - every color under the sun from white to pink to red as apples to deep purple. We were having company for the weekend and I wanted to throw together a soup to welcome in Autumn. But due to time constraints, I didn't have time to test the recipe and thus didn't intend to post … Read More...

Kaniwa & Steel-Cut Oatmeal with Raspberries
In case you haven't come across it yet, there's another ancient grain in town. It's called kaniwa (pronounced kah-ni-wah) and is related to quinoa. It's high in calcium, zinc and iron, and has even more protein than quinoa. Plus, it's gluten-free! The grain is very small - about half the size of quinoa - and is reddish-brownish in color. It takes about … Read More...
Curried Black-Eyed Pea Soup
I need to stop making light, summer-style salads and admit that Fall has arrived - thus, the frost warning last night. Hello big sweaters, scarves and boots! I've been making a lot of my own curry spice combinations lately, but this one is my mother-in-law's recipe: 2 parts each cumin, coriander, fennel seed and ginger powder to 1 part turmeric. It's … Read More...

Fennel Salad with White Beans, Red Onion & Cucumber
I should use fennel more often because it's so crunchy, flavorful and versatile. But it just doesn't pop up on my radar frequently. Note to self . . . . change that! A bushel basket of fennel caught my eye at the Farmers' Market last weekend. I thought about how to prepare it - grilled, roasted, pureed in a soup? Then I decided to make yet … Read More...
