Sweet and Sour Cabbage by Charlene Cole Ribaudo

I discovered cabbage later in life. This recipe makes for a sweet/sour cabbage that is good hot, at room temperature and right out of the fridge. Please visit my blog http://inhomegourmet.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/its-like-shopping-for-shoes/ on what I prepared with this cabbage.

Apple Almond Cake by Charlene Cole Ribaudo

This is an updated recipe I found in a garage sale box. All the ingredients sounded great but 2 previous attempts left me wanting. On the third attempt I omitted some and added some. Tell me what you think. I’m not a big baker and struggle with the science of it.

Usually peppers are stuffed with ground meat or sausage and rice. I had some leftover polenta, bacon, prosciutto and a pint of heirloom cherry tomatoes so this receipe was born.

Tomatillo and Chicken Burrito by Charlene Cole Ribaudo

I purchased some green tomatillos and was going to make a tomatillo salsa but then it was dinner time and well, you all know how that goes. Here is spicy burrito that is quick and easy to make. If you're not into tomatillos you can omit them. I always use organic ingredients.

Banana Mango Smoothie by Charlene Cole Ribaudo

If you can't do cow dairy try this smoothie. All ingrediants are organic. When you open the can of coconut milk dump the contents into a bowl and whisk well until combined. Make sure to use the remainder milk the next day or throw it out.
