    Hummus Bowl

    Traditionally, hummus is a savory Mediterranean dish of chick peas, tahini paste, garlic, olive oil, lemon, and spices.  However, there are so many varieties out there, blending in pesto, roasted peppers, artichokes, olives or using black beans or cannellini beans instead of chick peas. So,…

    Banana Nice Cream

    This has to be my #1 favorite reason for being plant based.  Back in 2011 when I posted this, it was an occasional treat that never left me feeling guilty in my indulgence for a rich and creamy dessert.   Fast forward to 2018 and…

    Easy Summer Black Bean and Mango Salad

    Summer is definitely mango season here in South Florida.  I find their rich sweet flavor, with at times a tart undertone, nothing short of tantalizing.  Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits serving well in both sweet and savory dishes. …

    The Best Homemade Pita Bread

    Pumpkin Granola

    On the positive side of all my recent relocations, I’ve definitely downsized, including my pantry.  Over the last year and a half, my pantry stores the basics for healthy Mediterranean style cooking and baking.  I prepare meals mostly from scratch…

    Puttin’ On The Ritz: Spiced Pecans

    Have you ever stayed at the Ritz Carlton and tasted their spiced pecans? Oh my heavens, they are addicting but oh so good! I recently spent a few days at the Ritz Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation where I was surrounded by…

    Quinoa Pumpkin Granola

    I have to be honest here, this started with a desire to make pumpkin quinoa pudding, you know, like a rice pudding swapping the rice for quinoa.  Not so uncommon in my life, I start with an idea I’m excited…

    Italian Edamame

    Edamame is one of those fun to eat appetizers.   Grabbing a pod and squeeze biting it to release the little bean in your mouth.  It becomes one of those mindless snacking foods; chatting and snacking away.   It’s also a great stress reliever…

    Almond, Lemon and Thyme Bread with Fig and Lemon Jam

    Quick breads many times are full of oil or butter, sugar and white flour.  I’m attracted to the “idea” of these breads but then get turned off by the ingredients.  Not that I don’t use white sugar and white flour…

    Lemon Foccacia

    My father would share many of his memories and stories growing up in Sicily.  His parents had moved to America before he was born but soon realized they missed their home and lifestyle too much.  My grandmother was then pregnant…
