Beet and Pear Slaw on Tortillas with Dill Crème Fraiche

The word slaw is kind of like the word casserole…there’s just nothing sexy about it! Hey baby, want some SLAW for dinner? Even if you say it with a slack jaw, “Slaw…” Still not that appetizing. But THIS slaw is different, nothing at all like it’s grandfather, the coleslaw, so don’t let the name…

The Lazy Man’s Polish Borscht Recipe

I love buying beets, not because I love beets so much that I can’t wait to eat them, but rather that I can buy them and use them in a recipe when I feel like it…like 2 months later. They have such an amazing shelf life. The farmer I purchase my produce from sells…

Beet and Walnut Barley Risotto with Bacon and Blue Cheese (or Feta)

When the fall hits us on the West Coast, I think we all look for comfort foods. Those options can be healthy or not and everyday we are faced to with the option to choose. The food choices we make every day effect not only the way we look but the way we feel. The…

Warm Lemony Navy Beans with Roasted Beets and a Mint Yogurt Sauce

What the heck do you do with a big bag of beets? This question was posed to me last year after my sister harvested a ridonculous amount of beets from her garden. “There are all kinds of things to do with beets,” I answered. ”You can roast them and freeze them, pickle them, grate them and…

Kamut Salad with Roasted Beets, Arugula and Bocconcini

Today’s salad creation was inspired by some of our finds from our trek to the Farmers Market on Saturday. Though I have to admit it wasn’t as crazy as it usually is. Normally the approach to the market can be quite stressful. Along a narrow back road, cars are parked on both sides, bumper to…

Asian Braised Brisket Part 2. Bun Thit and Goi Guon

Bun Thit or Vietnamese Noodle Bowl To my delight, the braised brisket we made lasted us an incredibly long time. I can’t wait to try new things and incorporate it into new recipes.

Red Velvet Fudge Cake aka Beet Cake

Trial and error! Surprisingly it’s the error that we liked best. It’s funny how some of the best recipes are found by mistake. I forgot the 2 tsp of baking powder in this recipe until it was already in the oven and too late to fix. Though it was lovely with it, much lighter and…

Perfect Quinoa Cakes with Roasted Red Peppers, Spinach and Feta

I am so happy that I am armed with a few really great books. It should be mentioned that last night’s dinner was from a cookbook that won “Winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Award for Best Vegetarian Cookbook in the World, 2003.” Not bad right? To be honest we have not once made a…

Roasted Beet Soup with a Basil Yogurt Cream

Sexy Comfort Food….Is that even possible? Well, I think that this soup qualifies. The richness of this purplely red color, the smooth texture on the tongue, a mingling of fresh basil and the taste of earthy goodness makes this one of my favorite soups. I look forward to beets every fall. Though I enjoy them frequently throughout…
