It’s beet season and I’ve been coming across them at the markets. Since they’re everywhere (and my sister hasn’t given me the recipe for her famous beet soup yet) I decided to make a simple snack – Baked Beet Chips with Blue Cheese Dip. Might sound strange, but not when I say that these turn to chips – baked not fried – that are crispy, delicious and addicting!
Vegan Sugar Cookies with Lemon
These vegan sugar cookies are easy to make and have a great taste and texture. Turns out the first batch I made weren’t actually vegan, but that was easily corrected with the next batch.
Prickly Pear Margaritas
Picking fruit in the desert in the dead of summer? Crazy, right? That’s what I thought, too. Prickly pear fruit are abundant in the Phoenix desert and ready for the picking. The reward of a prickly pear margarita at the end of a harvest was a great summertime surprise!
Lentil Soup with Veggies and Pasta
Lentil soup with veggies and pasta is so easy to make and this version takes kindly to substitutions. Now that I have a recipe in hand I’m hooked!
Easy Arugula Pesto with Pasta
I love pesto, my husband doesn’t. Our taste in most foods is pretty similar, but for some reason, dinnertime is when we come up with our disagreements. When we discovered pesto could be made with arugula, our pesto posturing ended.
