How to make a vegan tofu noodle bowl

January 4, 2021

Vegan crispy tofu noodle bowl is my new “go-to” for Meatless Mondays. Crispy, sweet and spicy tofu atop fresh Asian noodles tossed in a flavorful sauce. This bowl is also packed with herbs and vegetables which makes me feel downright virtuous.

Sicilian roasted eggplant caponata recipe

August 26, 2020

Roasted eggplant caponata is the epitome of Sicilian flavors. It is sweet, sour and a little salty. It has a depth of flavor that comes out even more after a day or two, and like most things: every Sicilian household has their own variation. It is basically a condiment. It is meant to be eaten along side a main course, like Rosemary Lemon Chicken.

Bourbon Blueberry BBQ sauce

June 3, 2020

This Bourbon Blueberry BBQ sauce will soon be your go-to for ribs. The sweet jamminess of the blueberries, the smokiness of the bourbon and the heat from the peppers come together to make this bbq sauce out of this world. Blueberries and bourbon, like my blueberry bourbon jam recipe, are a match made in heaven.

Lemon Thyme Mint Lemonade

May 18, 2020

Mint lemonade has always been one of my summertime thirst-quenching beverages. Adding a sprig of lemon thyme to the mix really kicks up that herbaceous taste. This lemon thyme mint lemonade is great for sipping during the heat of summer while you are outside enjoying the sunshine.

For a sweet, tart and fruity lemonade, try my strawberry lemonade.

Well, the rain finally ceased only to bring unseasonably hot weather for a few days. Everyone looked like they were wilting, including the little pots of herbs I keep on the windowsill. 

Herbs are one of my favorite things to add to nearly anything. They add a freshness and pop a flavor to so many recipes.
