[I thought it would be fun to run a little series over here at DDD: I’ll profile one one of my favorite foods, or a food that I’ve recently discovered and enjoyed, over several days. For this fifth edition, I’m focusing on cilantro. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]

Lemony Baked Tofu
*I originally thought about calling this post, “First Love Three Ways,” but I can only imagine the kinds of search terms that would generate for my blog! What woman doesn’t remember her first love? Me, I remember my first cookbook.** Now, don’t get me wrong–of course I remember my first love, too. I met Spaghetti Ears (not […]

Über Healthy Kale and Seaweed Salad*
* Or, It’s a Privilege to Eat You (thanks, Whole Foods). Happy “Celebrating Our Country’s Freedom Day” to both Canadians and Americans (and anyone else who’d like to take part in the party!).** And before I forget (because I’m at that age when I do forget), let me also say “THANK YOU” to everyone for your […]
The Ultimate Slow Food: Lupini Beans with Garlic and Olive Oil
Even though the HH is of Scottish descent and I hail from the Poles and Russians (the joke possibilities are endless, aren’t they?), we live in a predominantly Italian neighborhood.

Raw Raw for Spring! Crimson Salad with Pecans and Pumpkin Seeds

Tentative buds peek from beneath the scraggy clay, ennervated blades of grass sun themselves daily, waiting to transform from brittle, strawlike shoots to brilliant green fringes undulating in tranquil breezes.
