A year later I realized that I was having a really good time, was always busy (how did i ever fit in a job??) and needed a creative outlet to share my experiences. Now I split my time between California and New Mexico but, wherever I am, I write about delicious, fresh, local, organic/sustainably grown food.Napa Farmhouse 1885http://www.blogger.com/profile/12448265276212974105noreply@blogger.comBlogger383125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518066744588742139.post-9126984328605173802018-08-04T15:33:00.001-06:002018-08-04T16:06:36.947-06:00Clams and Garlic Sauce (w/pasta)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Friday nights are usually pasta night in our family. (It is the Italian in us) Hearty and rich in the cold months, light and fresh in the hot summer and early fall. This recipe for clams and garlic sauce is perfect each month of the year.<br />
<br />
Fresh clams, garlic (lots!), extra virgin olive oil, a bit of lemon, dash of spicy red pepper flakes, and freshness from parsley & seasonings, merge together to produce a dish that is wonderful on its own...try piling in large bowls and eating with good Italian or sourdough bread dipped in the delicious broth, or served tossed with pasta. My husband could eat this once a week.<br />

In season, I make this with <a href="http://napafarmhouse1885.blogspot.com/2011/06/garlic-scape-season-is-really-shortwant.html">garlic scapes</a> from the farmer's market. The rest of the year, fat garlic cloves are the way to go. Italian parsley is easy to grow, so I am able to "shop" my garden 8 months of the year. I think the key to this dish is, as always, the best, freshest ingredients possible. This is especially important with the clams. Buy them alive, <a href="https://www.ehow.com/how_6107797_way-store-fresh-clams.html" target="_blank">store properly</a>, and use within (max! ) three days of purchase. I tend to use them on the day I buy.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Buon appetito!</span><br />

<br />
<i><b>Clams & Garlic Sauce (w/pasta)</b></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Serves 4)</i></span><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>4 dozen littleneck clams</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup coarse cornmeal</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon salt</i><br />
<i>2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i>4 garlic scapes (or 4 fat cloves garlic), minced</i><br />
<i>2 shallots, chopped</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup white wine</i><br />
<i>1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon paprika</i><br />
<i>1/4 teaspoon saffron</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup bottled clam juice</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup Italian parsley, chopped & divided</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>1 lb long noodle pasta. I prefer bucatini.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Place the clams in a large bowl and sprinkle the cornmeal and salt over the top. Cover with water. Soak for 45 minutes, drain and rinse. (This process removes any grit and sand in the clams.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the scapes (or garlic), and shallots and saute until soft. Add the drained clams, wine, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, paprika, saffron and black pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook until clams open, stirring occasionally. Remove clams as they open and place in a bowl. Discard any unopened clams.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain and keep warm in a colander.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>When all clams have been removed from pan, add clam juice and all but 1 tablespoon of parsley. Keep heat on high and cook garlic sauce for 2-3 minutes or until reduced by half. Taste and add additional salt if needed. Add pasta and clams and stir to combine. Ensure all of the pasta and clams are coated with sauce.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Divide between 4 plates. Garnish with remaining parsley and serve immediately.</i><br />

It is a cloudy day in late March, and I am longing for Summer. Lazy days, warm weather, gardening, grilling, picnics, I could go on and on. But northern New Mexico weather means it will be months before those dreams are realized...except, maybe the grilling?<br />

Last summer we purchased a gas grill. What a wonderful purchase. I still use the charcoal grill when I have a lot of time (those long summer days I was talking about.) But I have fallen in love with the ease of almost year-round grilling with the gas version. Flip on the burners and grilling can happen whatever the weather (except hard rain.).

So, on this cloudy, dreary, early Spring day we are having marinated port and red onion kebabs for dinner. Grilled. So there! :)<br />

<b><i>Marinated Pork & Red Onion Kebabs</i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Serves 4)</i></span><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut into 16 pieces</i><br />
<i>1 red onion, cut into 16 pieces</i><br />
<i>4-6 bamboo or metal skewers</i><br />
<i>1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup red wine vinegar</i><br />
<i>3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar</i><br />
<i>2 tablespoons cherry preserves</i><br />
<i>2 cloves garlic, minced</i><br />
<i>1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and minced</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Alternate 2 pieces of pork and two of onion threaded on a skewer until filled. Complete the process on remaining skewers with remaining pork and onion. Place kababs in a glass baking dish and season generously with salt and pepper.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Make the marinade by combining the remaining six ingredients in small bowl. Whisk until combined and pour over kababs. Let stand a minimum of two hours at room temperature, or up to 24 hours, covered in the refrigerator. Whichever method you choose, occasionally turn the kabobs to evenly marinate.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>If you have refrigerated the kabobs, allow sitting at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Preheat broiler or light the grill to medium-high. Drain marinade into small saucepan</span>. <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.2222px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cook on grill for 15 minutes, or until meat is cooked through. Turn skewers, and baste often with sauce during cooking.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
I served the kababs with rice pilaf and spinach salad. Enjoy!<br />

Today is the Friday before Christmas, and I am finishing up all my last minute baking, shopping, and wrapping of gifts. It is the perfect time to finally share one of my favorite holiday traditions...my mom's gingerbread men cookies.<br />

<br />
These cookies have been part of my family's holidays for my entire life. My mom started baking them with my Great-Aunt Lena when my mom was a small child. When I was growing up, mom made them three times a year...a huge batch at Halloween for the neighborhood children in addition to candy for trick-or-treating, another huge batch for Christmas, and the third batch for Valentine's Day. Each student in my class and the classes of both of my sisters received a cookie with our handwritten valentines. I loved them for each of these holidays, but my favorite was eating gingerbread men at Christmas. One of these soft, cake-like cookies with a hot cup of tea just screams Christmas morning to me.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Now, my mom, has a hard time getting around without a walker and our "new" tradition is for my mom and me to make the cookies together. I prepare the dough, she cuts out as many gingerbread men as she can before she gets tired, I finish, bake, and then, together, we decorate. We make about 125 cookies at a time, and then my mom divides them up among family and friends who eagerly await the gingerbread men delivery.<br />
<br />

<br />
These are not fancy cookies. The old gingerbread man cutter has been used by my mom for over 70 years. We decorate them the same way every year...no exceptions. Red hot candies for the eyes? Check. A dab of buttercream frosting on the head to make a jaunty hat? Check? Another blob of frosting for the tummy to make a winter sweater? Check. Red hot or raisins dotted down the front for buttons? Check. More frosting on the hands and feet to replicate mittens and stockings? Check. No changes...ever! My family would revolt.<br />
<br />
Maybe these cookies can become part of your family tradition. That would make my mom very, very happy. Happiest of Holidays to you and yours. See you in 2018!<br />

<br />
<i><b>My Mom's Gingerbread Men Cookies</b></i><br />
<i>(Yield depends on the size of cutter. My mom's makes 14 cookies per batch)</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>1/2 cup vegetable shortening</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup brown sugar</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup molasses</i><br />
<i>3 1/2 cups unbleached flour</i><br />
<i>1/2 tsp baking soda</i><br />
<i>1/2 tsp salt</i><br />
<i>2 tsp cinnamon</i><br />
<i>1 tsp ginger</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup buttermilk</i><br />
<i>1/2 tsp white vinegar</i><br />
<i>1 jar red hot candies</i><br />
<i>Buttercream frosting (recipe follows)</i><br />
<br />
<i><br /></i> <i>In the bowl of a mixer, cream shortening until light and fluffy. (about 3 minutes) Gradually add brown sugar and beat until thoroughly incorporated. Add molasses and beat until incorporated.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>In a small bowl, sift together 1 1/4 cups flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Gradually add dry ingredients to molasses bowl with mixer running at low speed until just mixed.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Add vinegar to mixing bowl and, with mixer running at slow speed, add remaining 2 1/2 cups flour (1/4 cup at a time) alternating with buttermilk until just mixed. Pat dough into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and chill dough for a minimum of 1 hour.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray and set aside.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Cut dough in half and roll one of the halves 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured board. Dip cutter in flour and press into dough making as many cookies as you can. Reroll scraps and repeat. Repeat with second dough half. Place cookies on to cookie sheets, add two red-hots per cookie to represent eyes and bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes depending on how soft you want your cookies to be. </i><br />
<i>Check after 10 minutes. The cookies should be lightly browned on the bottom but still soft. They will firm up as they cool. Transfer to racks and allow to cool completely before decorating.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i><b>Classic Buttercream Frosting</b></i><br />

I have been making this dish since it was first published in <i><b>Bon Appetit Magazine</b></i>...back in July 2007! On the little over 10-year anniversary, I decided to finally "blog it." I have served this dish hot, cold, and at room temperature, It has served as a side dish, main dish with added grilled chicken, shrimp and/or tofu, or part of a salad bar luncheon. I have added different vegetables depending on what is in season, and what looks good at the farmer's market (blanched sugar snap peas and shredded cabbage and carrots are particularly good.) Trust me, this is a flexible dish and, as long as you don't overcook the noodles, hard to mess up.<br />

Regular readers know that I almost always take a published recipe and then tweak it quite a bit to make it my own. Today's dish is an exception as it is pretty perfect as is. Other than switching up the vegetables sometimes as discussed in the previous paragraph, my only change is that now spicy Asian sesame oil is widely available. So I use 3-4 tablespoons of that instead of the plain oil and hot chili oil. But both options work. I also prefer a thicker noodle so use bucatini pasta instead of the egg noodles or angel hair pasta. And if I cannot find Thai basil (I live in a small town) I use the easier-to-source Italian basil in the winter...otherwise I grow my own.<br />

As of today, 41 people have died, and 5500 have lost their homes. I know many of the now homeless, along with numerous friends and loved ones who have evacuated, some cannot come home yet because the air quality is so bad. Wine Country will survive and, as horrible as it is right now, the truth is that the majority of the wineries, shops, and restaurants are perfectly fine. We need to give them a month to get back on their feet and then support them by visiting! If you cannot go to Napa or Sonoma, please buy and drink their wines! They are depending on our business as part of the recovery. Thank you!<i> #napastrong #sonomastrong</i></span></li>

I'm back....and I brought cake!<br />
<br />
It has been over a year since my last post. I really missed you guys. The past year has been crazy. I spent nine months as the Acting Executive Director of our local animal shelter and worked 70 hour work weeks during that time. It was supposed to be a two-three month assignment but went three times as long. Then, just as the new director was hired, I fell in love with a very shy, scared, formally abused dog that I just had to adopt. (Of course, I fell in love with every dog and cat in the shelter, but this one ripped my heart out.)<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOVBgZI42BrShg5kip1R12TK0BbTBK7hQD40aBklVrvfsYI8kVC4wnJo_BoXO5hS8ATHuZJaKYVdvQ1xEQIStqMi7GepqNPzKFdEaTGBhV1gVGJRCL5ZaRlQnut2YuhHJxzKS6SATsfJw/s1600/jas+and+jax+watching+me+9.10.17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="638" data-original-width="359" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOVBgZI42BrShg5kip1R12TK0BbTBK7hQD40aBklVrvfsYI8kVC4wnJo_BoXO5hS8ATHuZJaKYVdvQ1xEQIStqMi7GepqNPzKFdEaTGBhV1gVGJRCL5ZaRlQnut2YuhHJxzKS6SATsfJw/s640/jas+and+jax+watching+me+9.10.17.jpg" width="360" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The boys watching me get ready. Jax is one the right.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
So I have spent most of the summer working to develop a bond with our newest dog (Jax.) It has been a long and sometimes painful process. He is terrified of men, and I am working with the shelter's trainer to establish trust between Jax and my husband. Very slow going, so please keep this sweet boy in your thoughts. The best thing for all of us is to live our lives as normally as possible so he gets used to being part of a family...I am blogging today while both dogs sleep at my side...and my husband watches football. Pure happiness.<br />

Yesterday was Saturday, and there was a hint of Fall's crispness in the air. Our local farmers' market carried beautiful peaches and the sweetest blackberries I have ever tasted. Nothing to do but bake a cake, right? I am always happy when cooking or baking so having the time to hang out in the kitchen for the day was a gift. Cake, homemade pasta, homemade pesto sauce, salad from ingredients grown in our garden...perfect day.<br />

I have baked all of my life but, after moving to Taos, New Mexico with our 7000 ft elevation, I was lost. I didn't know how to make my tried and true recipes work with our higher altitude and needed help from numerous online sources and cookbooks. This cake is an adaptation from one of my favorite bloggers, <a href="http://www.mountainmamacooks.com/2011/10/apple-spice-bundt-cake-with-browned-butter-frosting/" target="_blank">Mountain Mama Cooks</a>. Her recipes are tailored for cooking in the mountains. I tend to pick something from her blog as a starting point and either make it exactly as is...or try some slight tweaking. I used her Apple-Spice Bundt Cake with Brown Butter Frosting and substituted peaches and blackberries for some of the apple. Delicious. *** BTW, this one is not a high-altitude recipe so it should work for anyone at sea level. AND, I did not need to make any adjustments so higher elevation friends...you are in luck too. Enjoy!<br />

This is one of those simple recipes that should only be made in summer when the in-season produce is perfectly ripe. Please use the absolute best quality extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and sea salt because you will taste each ingredient separately in this simple salad. You will not believe how delicious the combination of tomatoes, peaches, and melon is when married into this easy dish.<br />

The fresher the ingredients, the simpler the preparation. That is my motto for summer, and this recipe is a perfect example. We went to the farmers' market on Saturday morning, and I didn't have a clue as to what I was going to make for dinner. I passed a stand with the most adorable, tiny fingerling potatoes and knew that was the starting point. The next stand had beautiful, sweet-gold tomatoes. My garden at home is overflowing with basil. Ding, ding, ding! Dinner was planned.<br />

I love roasted summer potatoes, and the pairing with tomatoes is especially nice. Excellent extra virgin olive oil, good salt, and a handful of fresh basil scream the season is here. A complete dinner for me (with lots of wine); I added roast chicken for my guests. #keepsummergoing<br />

I love basil in any way, shape or form. I used purple basil for this recipe because it is so pretty and, honestly) I was overdue for pinching off the flowers so two accomplishments for the price of one. (sssh, don't tell anyone that I am behind in gardening duties...our secret) For more information about growing and using purple basil, please check out <a href="http://www.motherearthliving.com/gardening/purple-basils.aspx">this article</a>.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Roasted Fingerling Potatoes & Tomatoes with Basil</b></i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>1 lb fingerling potatoes, scrubbed</i><br />
<i>3/4 lb cherry tomatoes (preferably sweet gold)</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces (any kind. I used purple because it is pretty)</i><br />
<i>extra virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i>coarse sea salt</i><br />
<i>black pepper</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Preheat oven to 425 minutes. Line a large, rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper. </i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Add the potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the top. Using your hands, roll the potatoes around until they are evenly coated with oil. Pour onto the prepared baking pan and spread out over 1/2 of the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in preheated pan and roast for 15-30 minutes, or until they are light brown and beginning to soften. (The time will depend on the size of the potatoes. mine were tiny and took 15 minutes)</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Remove from oven and add the tomatoes to the empty side of the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return pan to oven and roast for and additional 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown and soft, and tomatoes have started to burst.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Remove from oven and arrange potatoes and tomatoes on a platter. Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle basil over the top. Serve hot or warm.</i><br />

It is <b>Corn Week</b> at <i>Food Network's Summer Soiree</i>, and I thought I would share a bunch recipes to help you use up the overflowing bounty that hits each summer just about now. Cooling corn salads, salsas, grilled corn with toppings, chowder, pizzas, popcorn...even chocolate cake (yes really) are all included. So, pick your favorites and dig in...or just grill and top with butter and salt. Nothing tastes better. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Okay, by now you are probably asking "why is she blathering on about cakes in a corn story?" Trust me; this cake is delicious...and it is only made in summer...because the secret ingredient is pureed fresh white corn. Yes, corn. If you can have zucchini cakes, and carrot cakes, why not corn? When you puree fresh corn, it becomes this milky, frothy liquid that adds a moistness and a lightness that is hard to describe. I have never had anyone correctly guess the "secret" ingredient...but everyone that has ever tasted it, loves it. I urge you to give it a try and let me know what you think.</span></span><br />

4th of July equals bbq in my home. Most years we have a big grill going and have hamburgers, chicken, ribs and marinated eggplant on the menu. This year there is a 40 % chance of thunderstorms, lightning & rain in the afternoon, and I am spending the evening calming dogs at our local animal shelter. (the town's fireworks show is nearby, and the loud noises frighten our dogs). So I needed a backup plan in case our afternoon party needs to be moved indoors. This BBQ Beef on Toast recipe fits the bill.<br />

This easy-breezy recipe tastes best with homemade sauce. Don't be afraid of the long list of ingredients. Once you saute the onion and garlic, everything else is just dumped into the pot, cooked until thickened and you are ready to go. You can make the sauce up to two days in advance. You may need to thin with a bit of water or broth. I like to serve on grilled toast, but you can use hamburger buns or spoon over rice or potatoes. Expecting a cold summer day? Try this bbq beef recipe. (Actually, this works year round whenever you crave bbq)<br />

Today is the first day of summer, and it just happens to be the hottest day of the year. Here in Taos, New Mexico, we are at 7000 feet and the temperature rarely even gets into the 90s. But after sitting in the sun for hours, my car's thermometer read 122 degrees. By the time I arrived home it had dropped to 100 degrees. The last thing I wanted to do was turn on the oven. The solution? Grilling hamburgers.<br />

My husband loves BLTs; he also loves hamburgers. So...maybe we could combine the two and make BLHTs? (bacon, lettuce, hamburger & tomatoes). These four ingredients with mayo (or mustard if you are a rebel) on sliced French bread. Perfect! This idea plus five additional "burger" recipes helps welcome in summer 2016!<br />

You know that moment in summer when you are confronted with a huge mound of zucchini? You have fried it, sautéed, steamed, added to muffins, cookies, even pancakes, and just cannot contemplate another bite? That is the time to grab this recipe. I made a batch last night using four zucchinis, and I personally ate almost the entire batch. Invite a few friends and that mound will disappear before your very eyes. It is just that good.<br />

The squash is grilled either outside on the barbecue or, in bad weather, indoors on a grill pan. There are only a few ingredients, so please buy the highest quality possible. Garlic, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, basil...tossed with the grilled zucchini and then marinated for several hours. Served with grilled meats, platters of other marinated vegetables, good bread, great wine. Ahhh, doesn't get more Italian than that. Happy summer everyone!<br />

<i><b>Italian Marinated Zucchini</b></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Serves 4)</i></span><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>6 zucchini (medium sized) thinly sliced crosswise</i><br />
<i>2 garlic cloves, minced</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i>3/4 cup red wine vinegar</i><br />
<i>sea salt</i><br />
<i>freshly cracked black pepper</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup basil, chiffonade or thinly sliced</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Spread zucchini on top of a large, clean towel. Gently roll the towel to remove some moisture from squash. Unroll and, using a BBQ brush, lightly coat the squash with oil.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Heat the grill or grill pan to medium-high and grill zucchini until deep golden brown with dark brown grill marks. Flip and grill on the other side. Remove from heat and place in a large bowl. Add the garlic, rest of the oil, vinegar, and a large pinch each of salt & pepper. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 3-4 hours (does not need to be refrigerated)</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>When ready to serve, stir in basil and serve. Wonderful alongside grilled meat, chicken or fish. Pile on top of pasta coated in extra virgin olive oil, add to your favorite cheese and salami platter or, my favorite, top grilled sourdough bread with the squash.</i><br />

Grilled Chicken Breasts. Talk about a delicious, easy, and quick menu choice for a hot summer night. I like to marinate the chicken in an extra virgin olive oil and lemon dressing and then, for a twist, steam over beer until almost cooked through.This incredibly moist chicken needs just a few minutes over a hot grill to add the smokey taste of BBQ, and the chicken is ready to pair with your favorite sauce.<br />

I love serving grilled chicken with fresh salsas. This recipe consisting of black beans, frozen corn (fresh in season) and crunchy vegetables makes a perfect pairing. Bring on summer everyone!<br />

There is just something amazing about sauteed or roasted fresh vegetables piled on top of delicious grilled french or sourdough bread. The toast is rubbed with a garlic clove and drizzled with excellent, fruity extra virgin olive oil. I often have this for dinner with a glass of good wine. It makes me happy.<br />
So happy that I decided to serve a bruschetta assortment for my Memorial Day party this year. Three different types, a big hunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, some salami, and the aforementioned wine. Sounds perfect!<br />

My first bruschetta is topped with a delicious, garlicky, fava bean spread. I first shared the recipe back in 2009. <a href="http://napafarmhouse1885.blogspot.com/2009/06/do-you-love-fava-beans.html">Click here for the whole story</a> but, to save you time; I reprinted the recipe below:<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<strong><em>Fava Bean Spread Bruschetta</em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em>3 pounds favas, peeled and skinned (follow the technique in the 2009 post)</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em>3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em>3 peeled garlic cloves, smashed</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em>additional extra virgin olive oil</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em>grey salt</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em>freshly cracked black pepper</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em>tiny pinch red pepper flakes (optional)</em></div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;" />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em>Add favas, 3 tbsp olive oil and garlic cloves to saute pan. Cook until the favas are tender and can be mashed easily when pressed with a spoon (10-15 minutes). Stir occasionally during this step and add a bit more oil if necessary. When favas are cooked, put the entire contents of saute pan...favas, garlic and the olive oil...into a food processor or blender. Pulse until you have a chunky paste...I like some texture...but keep going until it is as smooth as you like. Add additional olive oil and pulse again. The amount of oil depends on your preference. Start with 2 tbsp. Add the red pepper flakes...pulse again and season to taste...add additional oil if needed to achieve a smooth, spreadable puree.</em></div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;" />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em>Serve the fava bean spread with slices of bruschetta and pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano. I spread some puree on a slice of bruschetta, top with a bit of cheese, drizzle additional extra virgin olive oil (best quality is important with this) and sprinkle a bit of grey salt....amazingly good!</em></div>

Pasta Salads...love or hate? I fall into both categories depending on how they are prepared. Limp overcooked pasta with soggy vegetables and drenched in dressing? Hate. Perfectly cooked al dente noodles lightly tossed in a delicious fresh vinaigrette with crisp, in-season vegetables? Love.<br />

I feel like I am invited to a potluck lunch or dinner every week and often look to this recipe as my offering. The pasta salad fits the "Love" category and is always a crowd pleaser. Sweet yellow or orange bell pepper, spicy fresh baby arugula and mild spring onion look beautiful and tastes great. It's a keeper. Enjoy!<br />

Wow! My schedule has become super crazy. I am on the board of directors for four nonprofits, am the president of one and the treasurer of another, have my consulting business, my blogs and, since late January, have been creating and filling the position of volunteer coordinator for our local animal shelter. This means that most nights I don't have a moment to breathe much less prepare dinner. So I keep a list of fast and easy side dishes that pair perfectly with a protein. Grill a steak, broil some fish or, even easier, pair with a purchased rotisserie chicken. Dinner is served!<br />

<em style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><strong>Broccoli Salad</strong></em><br />
<em style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">1 head broccoli</em><br />

<em style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">1 tsp aglio, olio, peperoncino or red pepper flakes</em><br />
<em style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">sea salt</em><br />

Place in a steamer pot and steam for just a few minutes...until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. (ensure you keep it very crunchy). Add broccoli, raisins, and onion to a medium sized bowl. In a small bowl, add the mayo, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, agave syrup or honey, aglio (or red pepper flakes), a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Mix well. Pour 1/2 of dressing over broccoli mixture and stir to combine. Taste and add additional dressing as desired. Taste again and adjust seasonings as necessary. Serve as is or, if you have time, Refrigerate for 4 hours. When ready to serve, garnish with parsley.</em><br />

I have baked all my life, and while I usually do not create the recipes, I am pretty good at following them. That is the difference with cooking and baking. Cooking can be totally inspired. A bit of this, a little of that. Creativity is encouraged. Baking is such a science. Tweaking the ingredients can lead to disaster.<br />
<br />

That was a major source of frustration when I moved to Taos, New Mexico. We are at 7000 feet, and the altitude change from sea level has caused my baking successes turn to failures. Cakes and cookies do not bake evenly, collapse, and taste different. I have not been able to find the appropriate adjustments to make my favorite recipes work. So I cannot explain the joy I felt when I discovered the <i><a href="http://www.mountainmamacooks.com/">Mountain Mama Cooks</a></i> blog. The author has perfected the art of high altitude baking. Now, if you live at or near sea level, this may not mean much to you...but to me? Desserts are back!<br />

I was scrolling through the site and stumbled upon this recipe for carrot cake. It looked so good that I made it that very day. Not only was it delicious, but it was also the best carrot cake I have ever eaten. (and I have eaten a LOT of carrot cake in my life. I made the cake again for a potluck dinner, and it was a hit. Many people came up to me and exclaimed: "This is the best carrot cake I have ever eaten!" The cake was so successful that I made it again for another potluck (I am invited to many potlucks!) and received the same reaction. So I have been making carrot cakes, (and cupcakes from the same recipe) for every function where I am asked to bring dessert, and I have received rave reviews every time.<br />

This is <i>carrot week</i> at <b>Food Network</b>. I could not think of a more perfect recipe to share. And it is a bundt cake which is so much easier than a layer cake. How cool is that? I made very slight tweaks to the original. I replaced the called-for vegetable oil with olive oil because I like it better and ensured alum-free baking powder was used. Otherwise, totally the delicious original recipe. Thank you, Mountain Mama!<br />

<br />
Asparagus season. That signals spring to me. I can eat it almost every day. Raw, steamed, blanched, sauteed, stirfried...all delicious. But my favorite way to prepare is to roast. Roasting brings out a sweet, smoky flavor that is intoxicating. Perfect as is, even better when paired with cheese. So, pizza? Yes, pizza.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSfyEPi17ITnjo3c68bV9YubpSjLpdevTTEtx1nbt3yiVcHL6cEc8v74mXCOcA3b51Y9F_U8Khc54srRo8rxTgfIInY1a1OqJ8UKg8AVeC5tXTf5VjpePrjf7_3t2dJF28JI4BC3jP154/s1600/asparagus+and+pesto+pizza+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSfyEPi17ITnjo3c68bV9YubpSjLpdevTTEtx1nbt3yiVcHL6cEc8v74mXCOcA3b51Y9F_U8Khc54srRo8rxTgfIInY1a1OqJ8UKg8AVeC5tXTf5VjpePrjf7_3t2dJF28JI4BC3jP154/s640/asparagus+and+pesto+pizza+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The beauty of pizza (aside from the taste) is the versatility. This recipe is a great example. Today's version includes red onion and two kinds of cheese, but you could add roasted garlic, red pepper, greens, spring onions, sundried tomatoes packed in oil; whatever you like. You could create a party menu by putting out all of these options, the dough, and pesto and letting your guests create their own masterpieces.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Now, about the chili oil. To me, this is an essential ingredient. The smoky/hot oil adds the perfect bit of heat which complements the asparagus and cheese. Set out a bottle next to the pizza. I bet it will get lots of use. Happy spring.<br />

<i><b>Pizza, Onion & Pesto Pizza</b></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(makes1 pizza)</i></span><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>8 oz. asparagus</i><br />
<i>extra virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i>2 tablespoons best quality balsamic vinegar</i><br />
<i>purchased pizza dough for 1 pizza (or homemade if you have the time)</i><br />
<i>1 tablespoon flour</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup basil pesto (purchased or homemade)</i><br />
<i>1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup red onion, chopped</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, shredded</i><br />
<i>sea salt</i><br />
<i>black pepper</i><br />
<i>Calabrian chili oil</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and peel if stringy. (You probably will only need to peel very thick stalks. Thin stalks are usually fine as is). Place asparagus in single layer on prepared sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Using your hands, roll the asparagus in oil until coated on all sides. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over asparagus. Generously season with salt and pepper.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">Roast in the oven for 15-30 minutes or until the asparagus are beginning to brown and caramelize. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the stalks. Remove from oven and set aside. Do not turn off oven.</span></i></span><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Prepare raw dough according to package directions. Turn a baking sheet upside down and sprinkle bottom of the pan with flour. Place pizza dough circle on top of floured baking sheet Spread pesto evenly on raw dough leaving a 1-inch border of dough uncovered. Top pesto with mozzarella cheese. Arrange roasted asparagus and onion over cheese. Slide dough off pan directly onto rack in oven (place the pan on the rack below pizza to catch drips) and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over pizza. Add back to oven and bake an additional 5-7 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese bubbling.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Remove from oven, cut into slices, and serve drizzling the chili oil over pizza if desired (Highly recommended)</i><br />

I love this vinaigrette. The fresh and clean taste is perfect on all kinds of green salad. It also is wonderful drizzled over roast beef or chicken, stirred into hot pasta and topped with cheese, spooned over deviled eggs, or used as a dip for fresh vegetables.<br />
<br />

The recipe calls for Italian parsley, green onion, garlic, good olive oil, vinegar, and seasonings blended in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Looks like pesto, but no cheese, nuts or basil are included. The deep green color is gorgeous and, more importantly, the vinaigrette is delicious. I suggest you make a batch tonight. You will be enjoying salad all week!<br />

<br />
<i><b>Emerald Green Vinaigrette</b></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(makes approximately 3 cups)</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span> <i>2 bunches Italian Parsley, tough ends removed</i><br />
<i>6 green onions, white and green parts, cut into thirds</i><br />
<i>6 cloves garlic peeled</i><br />
<i>1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (I used a spicy garlic version)</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup red wine vinegar</i><br />
<i>2 tbsp fresh lemon juice</i><br />
<i>2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (I use Amy's brand, organic & vegan, but you can use the regular kind)</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes</i><br />
<i>1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i>sea salt</i><br />
<i>black pepper</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Combine first eight ingredients in a food processor and blitz until smooth paste forms. With machine running, slowly add olive oil until emulsified. Stop machine, add a large pinch each salt and pepper and process until mixed. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Drizzle over salad greens. My favorite for this vinaigrette is a mixture of crisp romaine lettuce, sliced red onion, spicy sp</i><i>ing radish, and sweet red bell pepper. When summer tomatoes are in season, throw in a handful.</i><br />

<br />
Spring peas. Just the name reminds me that spring weather is almost here. (almost, because in Northern New Mexico the current weather is chilly, windy and without bud break on the fruit trees.) And fresh peas are so easy to prepare. They can be cooked in just a few minutes, and are delicious paired with spring onions, or spring garlic, or fresh mint, or greens, fava beans, asparagus...just about any other spring vegetable is magical in dishes featuring peas. But, really, does it get any better than peas and bacon?<br />

<br />
I fried Italian pancetta until crispy and then sauteed spring onion, garlic and red pepper flakes. Added freshly shelled spring peas and tossed everything together with hot pasta. Smothered the dish with mounds of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and dinner was served.<br />
<br />
Peas are an amazingly healthy vegetable. The website <a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=55">World's Healthiest Foods </a>discusses this in detail, but I think my favorite benefit of peas is the eco-friendly aspect:<br />
<br />
<ul style="font-family: Lato, 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.6px;">
<li style="margin: 0.2em 0px;"><i>Green peas stand out as an environmentally friendly food. Agricultural research has shown that pea crops can provide the soil with important benefits. First, peas belong to a category of crops called "nitrogen fixing" crops. With the help of bacteria in the soil, peas and other pulse crops are able to take nitrogen gas from the air and convert it into more complex and usable forms. This process increases nitrogen available in the soil without the need for added fertilizer. Peas also have a relatively shallow root system which can help prevent erosion of the soil, and once the peas have been picked, the plant remainders tend to break down relatively easily for soil replenishment. Finally, rotation of peas with other crops has been shown to lower the risk of pest problems. These environmentally friendly aspects of pea production add to their desirability as a regular part of our diet.</i></li>
</ul>
Just remember this the next time you are considering purchasing fresh peas...even better, maybe grow some in your garden.<br />

I always like to add one dish with a bit of spiciness to a holiday menu. Take Easter for example. Roast lamb, or ham or turkey with a potato dish, salad, vegetable. Delicious and perfectly fine but just a bit bland. Now add a dish with garlic or chile and it perks everything up.<br />
<br />

This broccolini on toast recipe is the perfect example. Crisp-tender vegetable sauteed in olive oil with loads of garlic and a heaping spoonful of one of my favorite condiments <i><b>Calabrian Chile Paste</b></i>. I love the<b> Silanfunghi</b> brand of chile paste and used to buy it by the case at <i>NapaStyle</i>, Michael Chiarello's store, and catalog. <a href="http://sf.eater.com/2015/12/3/9845316/michael-chiarello-yountville-napastyle-food-emporium" target="_blank">They are "rebranding" </a>and not taking orders at this time, so I have found other brands on Amazon. I am pretty addicted to this sauce and always have a number of jars in my pantry. Pile the broccolini on toast, top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and you have the perfect side dish. Or, if you are like me, place a couple of portions on your plate, pair with a glass of wine, and dinner is served!<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">For the cake:</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">3 2/3 cups organic unbleached flour</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 cups sugar (organic will really make a difference)</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 tsp salt</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 tsp alum free baking powder</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 cups cold water</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">1/2 cup plus 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 tbsp balsamic vinegar</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 tbsp pure vanilla extract (I use Tahitian vanilla)</span></em></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;" /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">Meyer lemon marmalade syrup</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 cups organic sugar<br />zest from 1 Meyer lemon, plus 3/4 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice<br />2 cups water</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2 tbsp Meyer lemon marmalade</span></div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">Combine sugar, zest, and 2 cups water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has completely dissolved. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat and allow syrup to come to room temperature (keep in the saucepan). When completely cool, pour through a strainer into a small bowl (throw away strainer contents). Stir in Meyer lemon juice and marmalade.</span></em></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;" /></span>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: inherit;">Strawberry/Balsamic sauce</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 1/2 tbsp organic brown sugar</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">One tsp orange zest</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">4 tbsp balsamic vinegar</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">a handful of fresh mint for garnish, rough chop</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">(I use this sauce all summer on cakes, pancakes, waffles, ice cream, fresh fruit. .etc. feel free to substitute other berries..whatever you like)</span></em></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;" /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">Wash, stem and puree 2 cups of the strawberries in a blender or food processor. Add the brown sugar, orange zest, pepper and balsamic vinegar and puree until almost smooth. Pour into serving bowl. Slice the remaining 1/2 cup berries and add to bowl. Taste and add a bit more sugar if needed...total amount will depend on how sweet your berries are.</span></em></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;" /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: inherit;">step 1...make cake</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil and flour a bundt pan and set aside. Combine the water, e.v.o.o., vinegar and vanilla in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients...do not skip the sifting, you want all the small lumps removed... add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. (do not over-mix). Bake in preheated oven approx. 45 min-1 hour. Start checking at 45 minutes...when a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean...the cake is finished. Remove from oven and place on rack. Let cool for 10 minutes.</span></em></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;" /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">step 2</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;">Turn out the cake from bundt pan onto a serving plate. Using a toothpick, poke a number of holes in cake top. Using a large spoon, drizzle Meyer lemon marmalade syrup onto cake top, about 1 to 1 1/2 cups in total. Cake should look really moist...not soggy. Allow to cool completely. garnish cake with large pieces of lemon peel from the marmalade (I just use a fork to strain out from the syrup mixture)</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em style="line-height: 18.2px;"><strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></strong></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">
<em style="line-height: 18.2px;"><strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">step 3</span></strong></em></div>
<em style="color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To serve, slice cake and plate...either spoon strawberry/balsamic sauce around cake...or serve plain and pass the sauce separately. Top serving with a sprinkle of mint...as my friend Richard says.."the mint is key...it wakes up the entire mouth."</span></em><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">I am resharing one of my go-to recipes, V</span><strong style="line-height: 18.2px;"><em>egan Chocolate Cake</em></strong><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">. This recipe was inspired from the</span><strong style="line-height: 18.2px;"> Moosewood Restaurant Book*Desserts</strong><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">. I substituted balsamic vinegar and olive oil, doubled the ingredients and turned it into a bundt cake. Regular readers know how often I use in-season fresh figs in my recipes, but this cake is very adaptable. If figs are out of season, or you do not like them..leave them out or use dried dates. This is one of those </span><em style="line-height: 18.2px;">*just happens to be vegan* </em><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">recipes. I did not start out with that as a goal but hey! Don't tell your non-vegan friends.

Grease (use olive oil) a bundt pan and set aside. Sift flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda together in a bowl. In a large mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients (except figs) and mix well. You can use a mixer..but I just use a wooden spoon and do this by hand. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir until just combined..do not over-mix. Add the figs and stir again until incorporated into the batter. Pour into prepared bundt pan and bake approximately one hour until a cake tester inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool until just slightly warm. Remove from pan and allow to cool completely.</em><br style="line-height: 18.2px;" /><br style="line-height: 18.2px;" /><em style="line-height: 18.2px;">You can drizzle your favorite chocolate glaze over cooled cake or sprinkle with powdered sugar...this recipe also make delicious cupcakes.</em></span><br />

When I am serving bacon to a large crowd, I always bake it in the oven. So easy, and virtually no mess! My friends always ask me for the recipe (no recipe, just a technique), so I thought I would share the method and post a few of my favorite recipes. Ahh..bacon!<br />

I like to have easy, delicious and healthy snacks available to grab whenever I am hungry but too busy to make a proper meal. These peanut butter balls perfectly fit the bill. Three ingredients; peanut butter, coconut, and dark chocolate, (a pinch of salt is optional) provide a guilt free and satisfying treat that keeps me full for hours.<br />

<br />
These easy-breezy balls require no more work than mixing peanut butter and coconut together, forming the balls, chilling and dipping into melted chocolate chips. Allow to chill and they are ready to pop in your mouth. I often make a double batch and keep in the fridge for up to a week. Mid morning snack? Yes. A couple for lunch? Of course. Afternoon treat? OK. Dessert? Absolutely. Enjoy!<br />

Pizza is one of my favorite foods. I love classic and unusual toppings and love to serve an array of different combinations at parties. A buffet filled with a large salad, 4-5 different pizzas, plenty of red wine and dinner is served. Today I decided to share some of my favorite pizza recipes. Which ones will you try?<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I love pizza. I love Mexican food. Why not combine the two? I am one of those people who loves cold crisp salads piled on hot foods. Like salad on top of my pizza. I often order tostadas in Mexican restaurants. So...viola... Tostada Pizza. Thin crispy crust, fried beans, melted cheese, romaine lettuce tossed with ranch dressing, and traditional taco toppings such as chopped onions, shredded cheese, salsa, and olives. The final touch is crushed corn tortilla chips. So very good! I think this is going on my Academy Awards party menu this Sunday.</span></span><br />

Just the term makes me happy. Drizzled on ice cream, poured over pound cake, as a dip for fresh fruit...these are some of my favorite desserts. Sure, you could purchase a jar at the market, but why when it is so easy to make and takes just minutes to prepare?</span><br />

I have recently discovered their dark chocolate chips. Just a touch sweet, these are perfect for melting. I add organic unsalted butter, best quality vanilla and a touch of sea salt for the most delicious sauce imaginable. Of course, any high-quality dark chocolate brand would work. Perfect for Valentine's Day...don't you think?</span><br />
