In September I visited my Auntie Pat in Wisconsin and as we parted she gave me her zucchini bread recipe. So, the other day, I had one big zucchini left and thought the moment had arrived…zucchini bread time. When I got out the recipe I noticed she had omitted the flour, so I got a […]

Pear Upside Down Cake
It’s fall. NO doubt about it. On the counter today was this bowl of pears at perfection… and the kids are coming so…I found a recipe from a few Thanksgivings ago…”Upside-Down Cardamom-Pear Cake” which I remember was delicious… You might want to give it a try. It came from Cooking Light back in 2006… 2 […]
Spaghetti With Garlic and Oil
This isn’t a cooking blog, but I really like to complete a thought. In 1996 Anna Thomas wrote an new updated version of the Vegetarian Epicure called “The New Vegetarian Epicure”…(sadly without any Julie Maas drawings…) in which she changed the emphasis of the early books on cheese and cream. These recipes ore delicious, fresh, […]
Zucchini Quiche
It’s that time of year…the time to get out your favorite zucchini recipes, in case an anonymous brown bag of zucchini has been left on your doorstep…! “Back in the day” (the ’70’s) I cooked a lot from a cookbook called “The Vegetarian Epicure” by Anna Thomas, because we loved the recipes, and because I […]
Eggplant & Fresh Tomato Pasta
Here is the recipe inspired by Bill’s veggies…the perfect end of summer dish… 1 medium egg plant, peeled and diced 1/3 to 1/2 c. olive oil 2 cloves garlic peeled and cut in half lengthwise 1/2 red pepper diced (pancetta and 1 spicy sausage if you want to add some protein, which I did) Two […]
Blueberry Chutney and “Turbulence”
SUMMER!!!! So after visiting the MIG fruit and veg stand Saturday (and getting lunch, of course) I got up this morning with the urge for more blueberry chutney. I made some at the beach on the fourth and we’ve eaten it all already…yum. I got the recipe out of the “new” (2012) Oregonian cookbook (“The […]
Nectarine Chutney, again…
Almost exactly 4 years ago I posted a recipe for nectarine chutney, so I dusted off the recipe and tried it again. Yep—delicious…though this year I served it over ice cream with a small chocolate biscotti. YUM! (I almost always buy local…with NO stickers…but this was an exception…oops)
Onion Tart…Pizza-style
In the New York Times this week there was a yummy sounding recipe for an onion tart, (the recipe for which I have included.) But first, my own experience and the changes I made (subverting order once again). I started with the WONDERFUL pizza dough from Lifesource which comes as whole wheat or spelt…slight preference […]
Wednesday Miscellany…and Pot Roast
Wednesday was one of those good solid days…early start, many facets, lots done. But first (and actually it WAS the first thing in the day), the pot roast. We, as a rule, don’t eat red meat (…well maybe the occasional lamb chop…), but R has had a hankering for pot roast. I have only made […]
Brussels Sprouts Salad
I ran into Sharon in Lifesource yesterday and she said she always likes recipes on the blog, so I thought I share what we had for dinner last night…a shaved Brussels Sprouts salad…YUM. I stole the recipe from Caffe Mingo in Portland and adapted it to our fridge and dietary needs…and I “mused” on sprouts […]
