11/15 Ambercup Squash Tostadas

I have found that my desire for fresh cooked squash is frequently stifled by my lack of  desire to prep the squash. Most winter squash varieties require  a chain saw to cut and cube. Sometimes it is more of a commitment than I want to make for a meal. Photo By: S. Duquet So, yesterday […]

10/20 Winter Squash Barley Risotto

I found this recipe while leafing through Good Housekeeping magazine. It is a two for one. You take the left-overs (if there are any) and make something equally as amazing, yet totally different with them.  The first recipe is for a low maintenance risotto.

8/17 Vegan Caprese Salad

Back in the day Sandy and I used to make Caprese salads our way. I loved fresh Buffalo mozzarella but disliked tomatoes so we would layer the perfect bite as follows: Biggie basil leaf,  cucumber and  sliced mozzarella drenched in the best Balsamic we had on hand. We would eat them one right after the […]

8/12 Green Tomato Pesto

Image Courtesy of 4seasonsgreenhouse.net The necessity to use the abundance of green tomatoes we had, the desire for a quickie meal and the love of all things green were the collective inspiration for this dish. We threw everything in the food processor, boiled pasta, wilted kale and had a stunning meal. Photo By: S. Duquet […]
