Green Beans, Blue Skies. The Perfect Do Ahead Cook-Out Salad. by kathy goriI keep waiting for the sunshine here in Sonoma. Right now the fog is blowing around in wisps and the wind is shaking the blossoms out of the trees and it's chilly out. There is more rain predicted for the next week and my friend Diana the checker at… |

The Raw And The Uncooked, A Meatless Monday Special by kathy goriI'm loving this whole meatless Monday business. It's great to take a break from the same old same old. One of my food blogger friends Jeroxie at Addictive and Consuming, had a post up last night where she was describing some simply divine potato and pea samosas made with filo dough. I had no business reading it at that hour as I was… |

Noodles with Cabbage, Mushrooms and Roasted Seaweed by tigerfishI use instant noodles "cakes" for this. I partially cook them in boiling water prior to using, in order to get rid of the "oil" which they have been pre-fried in during manufacturing. Switch to healthier, "fry-able" options such as Udon, Fresh Egg Noodles or Pasta, if you have to. The roasted/toasted seaweed sheets used here are… |

The Great Spinach Switch. A Fast Easy Lighter Version Of An Old Favorite by kathy goriStill getting whipped around by the weather here in Sonoma. We've gone from perfect warm spring weather to hail and rain, to sun lashed by cloudbursts and windy gusts. Last night my little olive tree blew over. Time to replant. This morning it's crisp,… |

Got Carrot Salad? Got 20 Minutes? by kathy goriI love stuff that's fast and easy. These are the recipes that are lifesavers especially when "stuff" happens, for lack of a better word. Dishes that are versatile, and inexpensive to prepare and can be prepared ahead of time are even better. I was looking for that sort of thing this week, after the whole Film Festival craziness and… |

Cool As A Cucumber Salad! by kathy goriSummer weather is definitely here which brings about all sorts of grilling type activities, cook outs, and pot luck get togethers. When the perfect light side dish is called for why not break away from the regular old cole slaw, potato salad nexus and make your side dish a Bollywood star. Here in Sonoma, the heart of California… |

Eat Your Lawn! by kathy goriThere was a very fancy Chinese restaurant in Beverly Hills . One of the specialties was referred to as "fried greens". All the beautiful people would practically line up to make reservations and order the "fried greens". A secret recipe, they never told anybody what it was. Then one day someone mentioned how every Friday all the… |

Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic Sauce by John SpottiswoodMy father-in-law has become an amazing cook, and he made this as part of our Easter lunch this year with the fabulous pork tenderloin recipe (see linked below). This version isn't gloppy with extra sauce like you find in many Chinese take out places. It's very flavorful but also relatively light and healthful. He made a TON of it,… |
