Pasta with Cauliflower, Lemon & OlivesRoasted cauliflower, lemon zest and olives tossed with Orrichette pasta make a light but very flavorful dish. Cooked chicken added in makes a filling meal. Make enough for a cold pasta salad. We mixed the leftovers with a small amount of mayonnaise, white balsamic vinegar and some more chopped shallots for a flavorful pasta salad.… |

Quinoa TabboulehTabbouli is a chopped herb and grain salad that is traditionally made with bulgur. I recently had a version that substituted quinoa for the bulgur, making the dish healthier and, in my opinion, better. Here is my interpretation of the Quinoa Tabbouli from Cypus Bistro & Cafe in Campbell, CA. It is heavy on the herbs and light on the… |

Applesauce CakeThis cake is big on warm, spicy flavors. It is simple to make and stays moist for days. Homemade applesauce is so easy to make and I think makes the best cake, but of course you can use applesauce from the store. Stay away from sweetened applesauce for this cake. It is sweet enough without added sugars. I make two 8x4 loaf pan cakes… |

Sufganiyot or Jelly DoughnutsTraditional at Hanukkah but great any time of year. These are so addicting. The biscuit-type dough melts in your mouth. We have filled them with all types of jelly, and even a piece of chocolate. These are good enough to justify pulling out the deep fryer. |

Sweet Potato and Pear PureeThis sweet potato puree is a favorite at our Thanksgiving meal every year. It can be made a day ahead and heated in the microwave or oven before serving. The pear adds a fruity sweetness. Leftovers can be thinned with light chicken broth, vegetable broth or water into a very nice soup. A touch of curry powder heated in oil adds a nice… |

Iced Pumpkin CakiesThese are a very soft cake-style cookie. They are a wonderful fall treat. I have used canned pumpkin in place of the squash puree, as well as pumpkin butter. The icing is just right - not too sweet. The eggnog mellows out the sweetness of the powdered sugar |

Fall Soup from the CupboardWhat do you make when the soup craving hits at 5:00pm? This very healthy, full-flavored soup hit the spot on this just-about-ready-to-storm Fall evening. This soup begs for creativity. Substitute whatever cooked vegetables you have on hand. Add some chopped or sliced cooked greens at the end; use cannellini beans instead of garbanzo,… |

Beef with Mushrooms & Coconut MilkMy husband wanted Beef Stroganoff and I don't eat dairy products. What to do? The end result is a wonderful beef with seared mushrooms in a coconut milk sauce. I achieved the creamy taste and texture I was looking for with a very mild coconut flavor. There is no tang of sour cream, but this dish does not need it. I served this with… |

Gravlax with Mustard Dill SauceThis is my mothers recipe for Gravlax, which is a salt and dill cured salmon. The original recipe is from the old Scandia restaurant on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles. It is very easy to make and is a superb, elegant appetizer. Gravlax is almost silky in texture and has a milder flavor than smoked salmon. Be sure to use fresh salmon and… |
