red beet baba ghanoush

red beet baba ghanoush by Jackie Newgent

Beet hummus is a thing. But beets can be showcased well beyond hummus. So I picked up a couple beets from my farmers’ market and transformed them into a different Middle Eastern dip … baba ghanoush.I roasted the beets to bring out their full flavor. A hint of smokiness is provided with a pinch of smoked paprika. And you’ll definitely…

This is a real great vegetable snack with a kick. If you like more hotness, just add more peppers and juice. Add another jar for more peppers if desired. The longer it sits the better.

Besides eating pickles straight from the jar as a snack, serve with sandwiches or cheese and meat trays. I do a lot of pickling during the summer months and take advantage of…

Bulgur and Bean Salad

Bulgur and Bean Salad by Salad Foodie

I always keep #2 medium grind bulgur on hand whenever tabbouleh, pilaf or salads such as this beckon me. To enjoy the best array of flavors this salad has to offer,…

Potluck Apricot Cobbler

Potluck Apricot Cobbler by Salad Foodie

An old-fashioned cobbler makes a hit with crowds and one of my favorite cobbler fruits is apricots. These perky golden first fruits of summer have a nice balance of sweet and tart. Fresh in-season fruit is preferred, but I have often used my stash of frozen cots from season’s past, and they work well for cobblers, as do canned. This…

Southwestern Waffles

Southwestern Waffles by Salad Foodie

What happens when salsa meets waffles? Fusion cuisine - a marriage of unexpected culinary elements! I was skeptical of how good this might be and was prepared to grab the agave nectar or honey and some butter just in case. But it was very good just as it is. If you like waffles and you like salsa, you'll probably like them together!

Feta Cucumber Dip

Feta Cucumber Dip by myra byanka

Get your feta from a Middle Eastern grocer. Ask for Egyptian, Bulgarian, or French feta. The stuff in the grocery stores is inferior, especially "President" and "Athenos" brands. Ugh!

Tom's Creamy Scrambled Eggs

Tom's Creamy Scrambled Eggs by Salad Foodie

This recipe is so simple I was reluctant to post it. But I had never tasted eggs cooked this way before Tom served some to me, and I was hooked. The secrets are to scramble the eggs "soft" so they are very moist, and add the cream cheese right at the end so there are visible streaks throughout. So simple - so divine!
