Banana Ice Cream

sharib — Sat, 01 Jul 2017 14:22:59 +0000

Making refreshing, easy dishes that utilize the fridge and freezer are the ideal choices to help beat the heat. To cool down, grabbing a popsicle or scooping out some ice cream have always been our default treats. What if you learned that you could make your own version of “ice cream” using JUST ONE INGREDIENT? […]

Chilled Cucumber Soup

sharib — Sat, 24 Jun 2017 18:00:39 +0000

When most people think of making a summer dish, soup probably doesn’t immediately come to mind. Summer warrants cool and refreshing, not hot and comforting. Have you ever tried chilled soup? They’re the most refreshing appetizer to any summer meal and they’re simple to make. My mom was heralded for her Chilled Cucumber Soup. It […]

Black Bean Power Salad

In two short weeks both of my kids will fly the coop and nestle themselves in the backwoods of Main for 7 weeks of sleepaway camp. Lucky for me, I still do love my husband and I still cherish our time together. I’m looking to these next few weeks as an opportunity to share quality […]

Finding Perfection in Unrip Fruit

sharib — Mon, 22 May 2017 12:42:24 +0000

Memorial Day is right around the corner and so are our fantasies of backyard BBQ’s, fresh grilled food and succulent summer fruit. However, this doesn’t mean that you should shy away from using those fruits that aren’t quite “ripe”. I love these creative ways to salvage your unripe fruits in your recipes, to avoid waste but […]

Introducing the Modern Mediterranean Diet

sharib — Wed, 17 May 2017 13:05:21 +0000

With Memorial Day next weekend, for many, the idea of baring all and wearing a bathing suit can seem daunting at best. In fact, the weather in the northeast has been so mercurial these past few weeks, I have still been layering in sweaters and jackets. So, how can you expedite your countdown to summer […]

Farm-to-Table Desserts

sharib — Mon, 08 May 2017 17:57:59 +0000

Today, common practice is for consumers to use quick online searches to find (and cook from) recipes. Gone are the days of dog-eared, stained pages in cookbooks. Nowadays, cookbooks, with their gorgeous covers, collect dust on shelves or display on coffee tables as mere accessories. The new cookbook by Lei Shishak, Farm-to-Table-Desserts, is one that […]

Blueberry Banana Flaxseed Smoothie

sharib — Mon, 01 May 2017 21:15:33 +0000

The arrival of spring brings warmer weather, more sunshine and blueberry season! Blueberries are one of America’s super foods because they are low in calories but contain vitamins C and E, help regulate the digestive system and activate fat-burning genes along with many other health benefits. With temperatures reaching the 80’s this past weekend, a […]

Quinoa Sliders

sharib — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 12:58:10 +0000

Once again, I find myself in the dreaded chicken-and-pasta dinner rut! Unfortunately this happens too many times to count. This entrée, for Quinoa Sliders, is a welcomed diversion to our pedestrian meat choices; it combines an interesting medley of southwestern textures and flavors (black beans, whole kernel corn, garlic, cilantro, chipotle). Luckily I know my […]

Passover: Haroseth with Pear and Figs

sharib — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 20:17:16 +0000

I love this Haroseth recipe featured in the New York Time a few years ago. I make it every year for Passover. For those unfamiliar, Haroseth is a chopped nut and fruit mixture served during the Passover Seder. It’s usually eaten between two pieces of matzoh, to represent the mortar used by Jews in building […]
