Hummus is a staple in our fridge at home. We use it as a dip, a spread, a dressing, and more. I never buy hummus since it’s so easy to make. Also, since I discovered the effect that good sun-dried tomatoes have on the classic dish, acting as a delightful flavor enhancer, this recipe has […]

Who doesn’t love a good guacamole? In my humble opinion a good guacamole is one the greatest dishes on the planet — a dip, a side, a garnish and, I confess, sometimes even a snack on its own with a spoon! It kills me when a perfectly good avocado is wasted on a mushy tasteless guac. So […]

I can’t say I always sprout my hummus but when I do have the time it’s a good way to make chickpeas more nutritious and digestible. The consistency and flavor of sprouted hummus feels more real, raw and earthy, and if you’ve never tried sprouting, it’s kind of fun to watch your chickpeas come alive. Serve this with […]

Latkes are classically eaten during the Chanukah holiday but these yummy fritters shouldn’t be reserved for a once a year treat. In our house this zucchini version of the old potato classic is a year round staple. I put a healthified spin on the latke by shallow frying in olive oil and finishing them off in […]

Once you assemble your ingredients it’s your one-pot ticket to a colorful, flavorful and nourishing side dish. Succotash marries well with a simple grilled chicken or […]

While in the supermarket shopping for ingredients for this mango salsa, an accompaniment to my crave-able Chicken Lettuce Cups, I confess I had a panic moment. Low and behold, Montana supermarkets don’t carry ripe mangos in the summer. Determined to pair chicken and mango as I’d originally planned, I took my chances and picked up a […]

Nothing gets me more excited than cauliflower. From the cruciferous family, it’s jam-packed full of special compounds called glucosinolates which are considered cancer-protective and detoxifying. However, this humble veggie needs a lot of TLC and plenty of spices to take it from ordinary to extraordinary. In this recipe I’ve married this super veggie with fresh corn, a well-loved […]
