I have a new obsession. And yes, I realized I am waaaaay late to the party on this one. It is not because I think kale is gross or that I would not like kale salads. I ate them cheerfully when they were served to me. But massaging the kale? It just sounded a little…
Blueberry Lemon Cookies with White Chocolate Chunks: #CreativeCookieExchange
I’ve been staring at a blinking cursor for a while, frustrated. A friend suggested the weather was to blame (actually what she said was I should tell you that I was going to crawl back in bed and stay there til the spring thaw) and I think maybe she is not too far off. It…
Mixed Fish Lentil Curry with Apple Pomegranate Relish
Mixed Fish Lentil Curry with Apple Pomegranate Relish is the perfect after holidays dish, as it is warming and vibrant but not heavy or rich. Amazon affiliate links were used in this post, but only to link to items I would be discussing and linking to anyway. Belated Merry Christmas! I always think maybe I…
Bobotie (South African Curried Ground Meat Casserole) with Peach Preserves
Bobotie is one of those iconic dishes that is so commonly made in its place of origin that there are as many different versions as there are homes–the land of origin in this case being South Africa, specifically Cape Malay.

Bourbon Soaked Orange Loaf Cake with Currants; Review of The Flying Brownie
It is The Leftovers Club time! And that is extra exciting, because I received a fantastic new cookbook all about great goodies for long distance shipping to review. Talk about serendipity!
Streusel Topped Apple Oatmeal Bars: Creative Cookie Exchange
It’s time for another Creative Cookie Exchange! This time our theme is a very seasonal apples; I love apple desserts and dishes in the fall, so the choice was really a no brainer. Anything apple counts–I am kind of embarrassed to admit that in this time of (fresh picked apple) plenty, I used dried. Picture…
Chickpea and Bulgur Salad with Carrot Pistachio pesto
I’ve been sitting on this dish, waiting to share it with you until after all my early month blogging events were over. It turns out to be extra timely now, because I re-created it again tonight for a potluck party we were attending, and it was yummy once again–and pretty flexible, as the second time…
Traditional Irish American Soda Bread
Soda bread: it’s not just for St. Patrick’s Day anymore. OK, so that is a little misleading, because as usual I did make this for St. Patrick’s Day, only, you know, on St. Patrick’s Day, leading me to not post it until after the holiday. But seriously, as soon as I bit into one of these all I…
Parsi Inspired Chicken Curry with Mangoes and Cherries
Hooray! I can eat again! I started off with no fiber kheemas and then graduated to this delicious dried fruit curry. Is there anything better than being able to eat again after having had a restricted diet for any reason?
