Spinach, Herb and Feta Cheese Custard

A cross between a frittata and crust-less quiche, this spinach, herb and feta cheese custard is another fine example of what to do with green leafy vegetables, be they spinach, chard or beet greens. This recipe also makes use of an assortment of herbs–whatever is on hand, mince them up.

Whole Wheat Kale and Olive Stromboli

A variation of pizza, stromboli is yeast dough rolled up around a yummy filling and baked until golden. This whole wheat kale and olive stromboli is filled with kale, arugula, and goat cheese.

Whole Wheat Kale and Olive Stromboli

Stromboli sounds like the name of that machine that grooms ice rinks, right? Zamboni—stromboli, close, in a fun roll-off-the-tongue word way. Stromboli, though, you can actually bite. Here’s a healthy whole wheat stromboli, filled with hearty greens, tangy goat cheese, and salty black olives.

Lacquered Tofu with Black Rice and Greens

Lacquered tofu with black rice and greens is an amazing food trio. Golden sautéed tofu gets a tamari and maple syrup varnish. This combination, the caramelly sweet tofu and exotic nutty black rice, along with the slightly bitter sautéed greens, makes one delicous plant-based meal!

Carrot Macaroons

We found fresh garden carrots in our CSA farm share box this week. And I found a recipe for “out-of-the-box” not-your-regular cookies—these yummy soft and gently spiced carrot macaroons. What a way to eat your vegetables!

Carrot Macaroons

These cookies are delicious and different, but not that easy to make. Yeah—you read that right. You cook the batter in a double boiler before you even bake them. But don’t let that stop you—I think they are worth the effort. Crunchy ground almonds, unsweetened coconut, pumpkin pie spices and a pinch of cayenne, plus grated carrots–you can only win with those ingredients! Continue Reading…

Goat Cheese makes a Sassy Simple Sauce

This could be the fastest sauce in the West. Because soft goat cheese makes a Sassy Simple Sauce. All you have to do is stir the soft cheese and some of the pasta cooking water into the hot pasta–and it’s ready to go. Here we have tortellini pasta, plus roasted yellow beets and their greens–and the sassy simple goat cheese sauce. So easy. And delicious!

Tortellini Pasta with Golden Beets and Greens in a Goat Cheese Sauce

We visited our friends in South Lake Tahoe over Labor Day weekend. John and Julie planned 3 full days of fun for six of us–another couple from Salt Lake made the trek as well. We all enjoyed plenty of boating, hiking, biking, dining and toasting to golden and dear friendships.

Early Tuesday morning, east bound back to Utah, we stopped at Trader Joe’s in Carson City. We picked up road salad and some hoppy microbrews, and yes, we brought the beer home–no sampling in the car. We also grabbed a roll of goat cheese and a couple bags of TJ’s dried Italian tortellini–and a few other essentials. (Have you ever noticed how fast a Ben Franklin disappears in Trader Joe’s?)
