I mentioned in my Top 13 of 2012 post that Indian food has become my comfort food. The timespan following my recovery from C.Diff has proven that thoroughly. In the days when I started eating again I made several kheemas, the Parsi Inspired Chicken Curry with Mangoes and Cherries, and then this Curried Cranberry Beans…
Sweet and Salty Beef and Farro Stew with Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Milk
As I sit here staring at a blank screen, I realize I have done it again. I have left writing about this recipe long enough that I do not remember all of my adjustments. On the one hand, I am frustrated. We loved this dish and would consider it a repeater. On the other hand,…
Warm Farro Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Pepitas and Queso Fresco
I had been looking for farro for 8 months, ever since I got Heidi Swanson’s Super Natural Every Day: Well-Loved Recipes from My Natural Foods Kitchen because she uses it in a great looking soup. I was intrigued by the grain, but for some reason–don’t make too much fun of me–it totally escaped me that it…
Mexican Spicy Roasted Shrimp & Potatoes Stew
Wow, it has been a while. I meant to get this posted before I left for Atlanta, along with a note explaining I would be gone for a week, but somehow with Alex’s multiple birthday celebrations it never happened. Ooops. But anyway, I am home now and just as excited today as I was 2…
Indian Sour Yogurt Stew With Double Potatoes & Peas
Sometimes I think my best dinners result in the hardest to write recipes. You know, me standing at the stove with 8 billion herbs, spices and aromatics beside me, tasting and tossing into the pot without regard for amount as it cooks. That is completely what happened here. The good news is, that means it…
Roasted Summer Veggie Salad with Lemon Tomato Herb Vinaigrette
Our regional (I woud say local but I have to drive to Columbus or Cincinnati) used bookstore chain had a big sale last week. And to make matters more tempting, there were different coupons for each day. And I have 2 locations within an easy drive of me (versus Columbus). OY. Serious damage was done….
Sabzi Dhan Shak (Parsi Spicy Squash & Legume Stew)
Before we get to the food, I just wanted to say thanks to Josie for all of the help while she was here. John has been gone, and that can get rough with 2 toddlers. She extended her stay until yesterday, when my parents visited, and she helped with dishes, dogs, kids, you name it….
Spicy Sweet Potato and Peanut Soup with Black Beans
Some of you might think I am on Vicci’s payroll, but I swear her blog is one of my best inspirations for vegetarian (or semi-vegetarian) food. So here I am again, linking you over to The Days Are Just Packed–although of course she originally got the recipe from Lisa’s Vegetarian Kitchen, so this recipe is…
Sweet Potato Black Bean Cakes Served With Guacamole With Cottage Cheese
You remember last December when my life got crazy and my posts were spaced way out with days inbetween? And I made all sorts of great food and did not share them with you? Well happily for all involved, I just re-made one of those dishes. Granted you probably would have preferred it closer to…
