Whole Roasted Cauliflower with a lemon thyme dressing

Apparently roasting a whole cauliflower head is a trendy thing.  Do an internet search and a million recipes pop up with different sauces and toppings.  Who knew about this and was holding out on me?? After receiving cauliflower for the third straight time in my organic co-op share I was in dire need of a […]

Farro salad with artichokes, cauliflower, and sun-dried tomatoes

I wish I could say that I was excited for Fall to come, but here in Miami we really don’t understand the concept of the seasons. The only indication that Fall is around the corner is a slight cooling of the air during the evening. When I say “slight”  I mean it’s now 80 degrees […]

Zucchini parmesan

When it comes to parm, why should chicken and eggplant get all the glory? I happen to love zucchini (and I also received a ton in my organic co-op box) so instead of making my usual, tired zucchini recipes I decided to give this a shot and it worked out wonderfully! I didn’t use breadcrumbs, […]

Curried Lentils

I really love anything curry, but am not the best when it comes to actually cooking it. However, this recipe isn’t intimidating in the least and I love the complex […]

I received a bunch of bell peppers through my organic buying club and needed a recipe that used a large amount of peppers so I could cook them before they went bad! This recipe is great because you can use peperonata for so many things. It’s a typical summer dish in Italy and is often […]

Asian Sesame Shiitake Mushroom and Bok Choy

Happy New Year! School/work has finally started again and I am back into my usual routine. I had a lovely two-week vacation from my students  where I got to spend some time with my family in Key West and then headed over to the Exumas in the Bahamas with my boyfriend where we stayed on […]

Orecchiette con broccoli

I am definitely on a pasta kick. This takes about 20-30 minutes to make, is healthy, is extremely flavorful due to the pungent garlic and sharp parmigiano cheese. And it uses De Cecco pasta! Sounds pretty perfect, if I must say so. If you don’t know about De Cecco, check out my last post where I talk […]
