(image from here) Cranberries might just be my favorite fruit. While it’s hard to beat the warm sultry sweetness of a ripe peach in the middle of summer, something about the crisp tartness of the cranberry really makes me happy. I will eat them in almost anything. Beyond muffins with orange zest, cranberries are fantastic [...]

Indian-esque Baked Tofu

I started making this when I worked at Brighter Day in Savannah. They make a number of different variations in the deli (as well as a multitude of other tasty things) which I have adopted at home. The thing I like about baked tofu is the way that it firms up. It isn’t at all [...]
Shiitake and Wild Rice Risotto

This week, I went to the wednesday farmer’s market to get sun gold cherry tomatoes and came back instead with a bunch of leeks, an eggplant and some shiitake mushrooms. It’s hard to resist beautiful produce. I used to really hate mushrooms, but Matt loves them, so I’ve been making an effort and warming up [...]

I have decided to change the format of my other blog (ameliaroberts.wordpress.com) to include a recipe column on fridays. As a result, I’m not sure how much I will be posting here from now on. Today, over at my personal blog, I posted my recipe for granola (‘nola) bars. They are pretty delicious. Keep checking [...]
Warm Chickpea Salad

Chickpeas are probably my favorite bean. Although it’s hard for me to play favorites. I threw this together tonight for a potluck. I had planned to make a Sardianian chickpea salad that I had saved the recipe for, but I was in a rush and didn’t want to start up my computer to find it. [...]
Carrot Salad

This vibrant and delicious dish is great for summer. It’s also mostly raw. There was an original recipe at one time, in an Asian cookbook of my mom’s, but this version is mine. It went over well at a recent potluck – no left overs (but I wished I had some.) 1/2 c orange juice [...]

I love a good, fresh, fruit salad. I like to make it in the morning to have for breakfast, then bring some to the beach (or work) with me, then have some when I get home, then have some after dinner… you get the idea. Since I’m not the only one in my household who [...]
Two Ways to Make Fruit Smoothies

I never used to be a big smoothie person. Then, last spring/ summer happened. In the deli where I worked, smoothies were part of the menu. Inevitably, after making them, there were the occasional left overs and I drank them so that the last drips wouldn’t go to waste (and so I knew what the [...]

This is my favorite lasagna. And lasagna is one of my very favorite foods. I will eat the leftovers for days, for every single meal, until I am scraping the last little bite of noodle out of the corner of the pan with my fork. This particular lasagna is also a great way to trick [...]
