Flash in the Pan: Serendipitous Black Bean Spread (or Dip)

by Ricki Heller 22 Comments

[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s quick and easy–no fuss.  I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] […]

Mock Chopped Liver plus Recipes for Easter and Passover

by Ricki Heller 27 Comments

Today marks only a few days before the start of Passover, and Easter is right around the next corner–it’s time to cook for the holidays!  Since the HH and I are invited to a friend’s house for a seder this year (and since her niece is a vegetarian), I decided to bring a dish that normally […]

Gena’s Raw (Bean Free) Broccoli Hummus

by Ricki Heller 39 Comments

In case you haven’t noticed, we Canadians are pretty obsessed with the weather.  It rules our schedules, our wardrobes and our moods.  Wake up to sunny skies and 26C (79 F), as we did a couple of weeks ago, and it’s going to be a good day.  Wake up to glum, sodden skies, and that […]

Lucky Comestible 6 (1): Roasted Red Pepper and Apple Dip

by Ricki Heller 27 Comments

[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.  The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky comestible. This is the first entry on apples.] […]

Curried Pumpkin Hummus*

by Ricki Heller 64 Comments

* Or, Hummus in a World of Its Own As we often do, the HH and I made the trek to Montreal over the long weekend to spend the holidays with my family.  While I long ago became accustomed to toting along some sort of sustenance for these trips (my diet, even when I’m not on a candida cleanse, […]

Let Them Eat (Eggplant) Caviar

by Ricki Heller 26 Comments

So, you may have heard: the economy is tanking.  According to retailers, we’re spending less on gifts this holiday season than we did last year.  We’re taking vacations at home.  We’re economising on everything from groceries to toiletries, and people are learning how to darn socks again, bake from scratch again, or wash their own cars.  […]

Roasted Garlic and Pumpkinseed Pesto

by Ricki Heller 41 Comments

This past weekend, I took the train to Montreal to visit with the CFO (unfortunately, the HH stayed at home on dog duty, as our regular doggie daycare was closed and it was too late to find an alternative).  Just before I left, though, I was delighted to learn that I’d been awarded the “E […]

Don’t Mock (Tuna) Me: When “From Scratch” Disappoints

by Ricki Heller 49 Comments

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know I’m a “from scratch” kind of gal.  I mean, when you’ve been told you can’t eat anything processed, anything with additives, anything with coloring, anything with refined sweeteners or flours–basically, anything that’s not fresh from the vine or the ground–you learn to cook from […]

A Nice Chianti and Fava Beans? No. Muhammara? Thumbs Off–er, Up

by Ricki Heller 24 Comments

I’ll never forget the phrase that haunted me for months when I was about 16: delivered in a low, undulating murmur heard through the telephone receiver, a deep, throaty male voice posed a simple question:  “Have you checked the children?” Anyone who recognizes that line is familiar with the horror movie When a Stranger Calls.  The premise is […]

Virtual Spring: Katie’s Creamy Aspara-Dip

by Ricki Heller 16 Comments

Well, it snowed AGAIN yesterday (is this grating on your nerves as much as it’s grating on mine?* I mean, it is now March 19th.  Like, what’s up with that? Snow is just. . . so. . . wrong at this time of year.  In either hemisphere). I am yearning for spring like the Tin Man yearns for a […]
