There was a bakery when I was in college that use to make an Ethiopian Honey Bread two times a month and I was fortunate it wasn’t a daily staple, because I would have bought loaves every day. This simple braid is not a copy cat, but rather the honey and notes of molasses made …
This crispy tofu paired perfectly with roasted veggies and jasmine rice. Next time we might try our luck at converting this to a sheet pan oven roast, to avoid some of the “stand up” time that it takes frying in four skillets. But it was soooooooo good this way, it may be something we save …
Standing at the stove and frying thin slices of eggplant can be a deal breaker for the orthotactically challenged. This sheet pan version uses THICK slices of eggplant and an extra large preheated sheet pan to get a wonderful crispy yet tender eggplant parm. To be honest, we didn’t actually put parmesan in the dish …
Our family of ten uses TWO XL 24″ x 16″ sheet pans for meals like tonight. One has whatever meat folks are eating and the other has all the vegetarian bits and pieces. Tonight we made a colorful combo with marinated tofu, purple onions, broccoli, asparagus, chickpeas, artichoke hearts and YAMS! There was ALOT going …
With a multigen family of 10 we have plenty of occasion to celebrate birthdays .. though admittedly we seem to have a flurry of them between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even so we try to have a special dinner and favorite dessert of the guest of honor. And tonight, Karma wanted cheesecake. Karma is also apt …

Finding the “right” noodle for this dish was probably the hardest part. There are so many noodles to choose from and while we like the glass noodles in japchae, tonight Tricia wanted to recreate one of her favorite Lo Mein take out dishes. There are a variety of chuka soba noodles, or ramen noodles on the …
Putting the words Whole Wheat in the title does NOT make these decadent dinner rolls healthy by any stretch of the imagination. But sometimes we all want a bite of comfort food, and paired with a healthy salad these lovely buns make a wonderful side that doesn’t even need butter to enjoy because they have …
No lie, sheet pancakes are easier on the orthotactically challenged. But getting that fluffy puffy pancake with the crisp sear on all sides can be a challenge. Today was by far the best batch we made and this is how we did it.
There was a time, Spelt was the only flour I used in my healing kitchen years. I found it was easier to digest and I used it as part of my four day grain rotation regime. Unlike hard winter wheat, Spelt berries have less gluten which does not make it ideal for yeast breads that …
