Chicken with Lemony Israeli Couscous
It’s getting warm out there so it is time to start making dishes that can be eaten both hot and cold. I love cold chicken and this recipe is pretty simple for a dinner and then a lunch the next day. My favorite paprika is La Chinata and Chiquilin brands which remind me of the […]

Maple Chili Crisp Sweet Potatoes
In Minneapolis, I went to a restaurant that a friend was able to get reservations for months in advance. It is called Owamni and is considered to be one of the best restaurants in the country. All of the dishes are made with native ingredients, meaning no ingredients post-colonial times. This sweet potato dish stood […]
Andouille Sausage, Shrimp and Stuffing
Just because you eat gluten free doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy comfort food. Aldi supermarkets has a great selection of Gluten Free products and one of them is the stuffing I bought for Thanksgiving for my relatives who eat gluten free but they were sick at Thanksgiving. I was tired of staring at it on […]
Ginger Oatmeal Mini Scones with Walnuts
These little treats are satisfying with a great, spicy punch from the crystallized ginger. If they are not going to be eaten within a day, I would freeze them for later because they may get hard fairly quickly. The best part about these scones is that they are vegan and small, so you can eat […]
Spring Chick Pea Salad with Toasted Almonds and Peppers
We’re getting into salad season! If you’re craving something fresh and colorful, this salad not only looks festive but is very satisfying with the combination of textures. I added some roasted cauliflower but it’s just as good without it. Enjoy by itself (chick peas are a great source of protein) or as a side dish. […]
Dojo’s Soy Burger Dinner
My favorite restaurant growing up was Dojo in the East Village. It served the phenomenal Soy Burger Dinner with the INSANE carrot ginger dressing that remained $3.95 for decades! I ate there as a middle schooler (what we called Junior high), a High Schooler, a college student, a social worker and then a pregnant mom. […]

Secret Olive Oil Cake
I have a confession to make: I asked a certain waitress in a certain restaurant in a certain city for the recipe for the incredible olive oil cake I had in her restaurant. She said only the staff were given the recipes but that she had given her two weeks notice and thought it would […]
