We were invited to some friends home for dinner last Saturday night. I asked what we could bring and received the response, "Appetizers." I had a long week, so I decided to create an easy cheese plate...Three kinds of good cheese, pate, grapes, and crackers. We talked, drank lots of wine, and most of the cheese. Then we ate the delicious dinner my friend prepared and gobbled up the dessert.<br />

Cue Sunday morning. Too much wine, too much dessert, too, too much cheese! Breakfast was hot tea and toast. I didn't feel like lunch. By dinnertime, I craved something tasty and healthy. These carrot fries came to the rescue.<br />
<br />

Crispy, crunchy, spicy, salty AND healthy. How nice does that sound? These carrot fries are simple to make, delicious to eat, and, best of all, healthy. Picture roasting carrots, but keeping them cooking until they are crunchy. That's it. Serve with your favorite dip and you have the perfect side for hamburgers, sandwiches, grilled chicken, or just as a healthy snack. Enjoy!<br />

<i><b>Healthy Spicy Carrot Fries</b></i><br />
<i>2 lbs carrots, unpeeled</i><br />
<i>2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon smoked paprika</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon Chinese spice powder</i><br />
<i>coarse sea salt</i><br />
<i>ground black pepper.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Cut carrots into french fry sized pieces. Place in a large bowl and drizzle olive oil over the top. Add the paprika, cayenne powder, and Chinese spice powder. Using your hands, evenly coat the carrots with the oil and spices (not the salt and pepper). Add the carrots to the prepared pan in an even layer. Liberally sprinkle sea salt and black pepper over fries.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and, using tongs, flip over carrots. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until crispy. Watch carefully; the fries go from roasted (not what you want) to burnt very fast. (again, not what you want). </i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Serve immediately with Ranch or <a href="http://redorgreenchile.blogspot.com/2016/04/roasted-asparagus-with-spicy-thousand.html">Spicy Thousand Island</a> dressing.</i><br />

<br />
When I was a child, salad often consisted of iceberg lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and Thousand Island Dressing. Remember Thousand Island Dressing? Gloopy, gloppy, and ever so sweet, this was the salad dressing of the seventies. Salad, hamburgers, fish sticks; TI was served with everything.<br />
<br />
Then ranch dressing became all the rage, and I forgot all about the reddish, pinkish, pickle-flecked sauce. Fast forward almost 40 years and I am sitting in a restaurant ordering a salad, and it comes (by mistake) with...you guessed it...Thousand Island. I was in a hurry so told the waitress to leave it. Out of curiosity, I tasted it. It was...not horrible, but not something I would order again. But I kept imagining the sauce not as sweet, not as bland, not as thick. I experimented and decided a spicy version could be the answer. It was.<br />

<br />
This dressing is, of course, good on green salads. And on burgers and roast beef or chicken sandwiches. Rubens, of course, are classic. Try on grilled cheese and bacon, or fish tacos. But, I think my favorite is drizzled over roasted vegetables. Spooned over roasted asparagus is especially delicious. Make a batch; you will quickly go through the entire recipe. Happy Spring!<br />

<br />
This is one of my favorite salads. Crisp greens and a delicious combination of fresh vegetables, olives, and black beans, tossed with a tangy ranch salsa dressing. Crunchy tortilla chips and roasted pepitas are added just before serving, and you have the perfect vegetarian main dish salad. Throw in some grilled chicken, beef or pork for added protein if you wish, but I like it as is.<br />

<br />
The Ranch Salsa Dressing is the perfect finishing touch; tangy and spicy. I make batches all the time. It is wonderful on salads, but I also like it as aa dip for corn tortilla chips and fresh vegetables. It is also really good drizzled on tacos, baked potatoes or steamed vegetables. I provide the recipe for making this dressing from scratch, but if you are pressed for time, purchase best quality prepared ranch dressing and add a couple of tablespoons of salsa. I do not recommend buying the powdered ranch mix. The ingredients and preservatives in the ingredients scare me!<br />

This recipe is so easy calling it a "recipe" may be a stretch. Fresh as possible spring sugar snap peas, good extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and jarred sweet/hot cherry peppers for a bit of heat quickly sauteed for a few minutes, and you are good to go. The dish is delicious and so beautiful on a white plate.<br />

Sugar snap peas are a healthy way to add color, taste and nutrition to your diet. Their edible pods mean they are quick and easy to prepare. <a href="http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefits-sugar-snap-peas-6013.html">SF Gate says</a>:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><i>A 3-ounce serving of raw sugar snap peas provides 50 milligrams of vitamin C, more than half the recommended daily intake for that antioxidant nutrient. It is also a rich source of some B-complex vitamins, giving you nearly half the niacin and one-tenth of the folate you need each day, boosting your intake of these nutrients that help your body convert food to energy. It gives you one-fifth of the vitamin K you need, ensuring that your blood clots properly and supporting your bone health. Boiled sugar snap peas have 40 milligrams of vitamin C and about the same amount of niacin, folate and vitamin K as raw sugar snap peas</i>.</span><br />

Ok, so I know spicy chile, garlic and kale pasta is not your typical Easter side dish fare but just imagine it paired with roast beef, or lamb or turkey. Gorgeous color, fresh taste, loads of flavor. It just shouts spring to me. Best of all you have a delicious main dish for your vegetarian friends. Happy Spring everyone!<br />

The key to this dish is Calabrian Chile paste.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">I love the</span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"> Silanfunghi</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"> brand of chile paste and used to buy it by the case at </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">NapaStyle</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">, Michael Chiarello's store, and catalog. </span><a href="http://sf.eater.com/2015/12/3/9845316/michael-chiarello-yountville-napastyle-food-emporium" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">They are "rebranding" </a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">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. Try the chile drizzled on pizza, or eggs, or vegetables of any sort.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"> It is spicy but not "stupid hot" as my husband likes to say. I shared a recipe this week for <a href="http://napafarmhouse1885.blogspot.com/2016/03/sauteed-broccolini-with-garlic-and.html">Sauteed Broccolini With Garlic and Chile On Toast</a> over on my <i>Napa Farmhouse 1885 blog</i>. The broccolini also features the chile sauce. You should give it a try too.</span></span><br />

Some of my favorite food bloggers guest-hosted the site for a Thanksgiving roundup. My blogger friend Theresa Loe submitted this post. Since then, it has become one of my favorite cakes and I make it year round. The spicy ginger flavor is perfect for a blog about spicy food. Enjoy!</span></span><br />

I’ve experienced the way a perfume will remind me of someone from long ago or how the aroma of certain foods reminds me of the kitchen from my childhood. </span></em><br />

Growing up, our kitchen was a hustle and bustle of activity for weeks before Thanksgiving (and all the way through Christmas). The whole house was filled with the wonderful aromas of ginger, cinnamon and allspice.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269122459556505522" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OgPzV623I3I/SR-u9b_l57I/AAAAAAAAAgk/ronu0F_0VI8/s320/GuestPostofGardenFreshLiving.jpg" style="background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid transparent; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; display: block; height: 212px; margin: 0px auto 10px; padding: 8px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></span></em><br />

As a little girl, I always had the important job of measuring these spices and stirring the ingredients when she was making something delicious. While other households only made pie, we were making gingerbread cake, gingerbread cookies, bread puddings and spicy pies with extra ginger and cinnamon. </span></em><br />

But more importantly, I built a closeness with my mother that I don’t think we could have forged any other way. Baking gave us common ground for intimate mother/daughter talks and I soon realized that it was those moments in time I cherish the most. As a kid, you think you will grow up to remember the movies, toys, and games played with friends. But in reality, it is the unplanned moments with loved ones that touch our hearts and remain as snapshots in our memories. Having a strong fragrance like ground ginger associated with those snapshots creates an even stronger spot in our memory banks. For this reason, I do a lot of baking with my own children. I’m hoping to create new memory snapshots. </span></em><br />

No matter what differences we have had, we can always come together to share a recipe. It is no wonder that the smell of ginger reminds me of a warm, inviting kitchen filled with holiday sweets and my mother’s love! </span></em><br />

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jYM9ZVQXpVQ/Vro3ps9ihLI/AAAAAAAAgEg/UthelQVBvwI/s1600/chocolate-coconut%2Bbark%2B2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jYM9ZVQXpVQ/Vro3ps9ihLI/AAAAAAAAgEg/UthelQVBvwI/s400/chocolate-coconut%2Bbark%2B2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are only seven ingredients in this bark, so it is very important that each one is of the highest quality. Today, I used coconut, cashews, candied ginger and a touch of red pepper flakes for the candy, but you can substitute any combination of nuts, dried fruit, herbs, and flavorings you like. Just keep the proportions the same. The sea salt adds a delicious contrast to the sweet chocolate but leave it off if you wish.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Speaking of "sweet," I used dark, bittersweet chocolate and there is no added sugar so you can feel good about giving this delicious dessert as a healthy gift. And, since this recipe makes over a pound of bark, you can keep some for yourself. Enjoy. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!</span></span><br />

<br />
Are you a football fan? I am and this weekend is a major holiday in my home. Superbowl Sunday. The Denver Broncos vs. the Carolina Panthers. So the plan is to have an assortment of make-ahead dishes so that I can set everything out and not move until the end of the game. Since the commercials are as "must see" as the game...no breaks allowed<br />
<br />
I created this dip as a sauce for roast pork sandwiches. I was catering a Scotch tasting party and needed appetizers that were appropriate. I stuffed mini sweet Hawaiian rolls with spinach and pork and drizzled the slightly spicy bbq sauce over the top. They were gobbled up and everyone raved about the sauce so I decided to serve the rest as a dip for roasted vegetables. The result was delicious!<br />
<br />

<br />
This easy, breezy recipe is made with homemade bbq sauce, but you could substitute a purchased version and stir in a tablespoon of bourbon. Try using as a dip, as a topping for sandwiches or drizzle over steamed vegetables. I think it would be delicious on baked potatoes. Give it a try and tell me how you would use.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I love mac & cheese and always forget how easy it is to make. The basic recipe of cheese and noodles is delicious of course, but additions like vegetables, protein and crunchy toppings make a good dish great. Today I am posting three recipes for mac & cheese that can be served as a main course. With a green salad, you have a meal.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The fist recipe is for <i><b>Mac & Cheese with Roasted Cauliflower and Leeks </b></i>adapted from the January 2013 edition of Bon Appetit Magazine. They posted a recipe for "No-Boil Mac and Cheese". Brilliant really in that the uncooked pasta is covered with the cheese sauce and then baked in the oven. Easy and delicious. I copied the technique exactly, so all credit goes to them, but I lightened it up a bit and added roasted cauliflower and sauteed leeks for flavor and whole wheat pasta and panko for the health benefits. Wonderful as a main dish or the perfect side to roasted salmon or chicken. Try this recipe...comfort food at its best. Enjoy!</span></span><br />

I love tacos...all kinds. I honestly could eat them every day so was thrilled to see a new "cleanse" book has been released. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Taco-Cleanse-Tortilla-Based-Proven/dp/1615192727">The Taco Cleanse: The Tortilla-Based Diet Proven to Change Your Life</a> has 75 vegan taco recipes that have reviewers raving. It makes sense...steamed corn tortillas filled with healthy, delicious ingredients. What's not to love? But today's recipe does not come from the book...and is not especially healthy (hold the cheese & ranch for a healthier version)...but easy to prepare and delicious all the same.<br />

It is<i> Potato Week</i> at <b>Food Network's Comfort Food Feast</b>, and I felt like making baked potatoes. I also felt like eating tacos. So I combined the two. My version of stuffed baked potatoes with some spice. So good. My new favorite potato recipe. Perfect for a crowd because once the potatoes are baked and the toppings prepared, everyone can assemble their own. I think this would make a fun Superbowl Party appetizer. Enjoy!<br />

This allows steam to escape while the potatoes are cooking and you get </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">baked</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"> potatoes...not </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">steamed</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"> potatoes (completely different texture).

To serve, slice a potato down the center lengthwise. Gently squeeze to loosen the flesh being careful not to tear the skin. Use a fork to fluff up the flesh and drizzle a bit more olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with grey salt and black pepper. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Top potatoes with some of the taco meat and the toppings of your choice. Serve immediately with chips and greens alongside.</span><br />

<i><b><br /></b></i> <i><b>Soup</b></i> week begins this year's weekly Comfort Food Feast recipe roundup from Food Network. I decided to share one of my family's favorite dishes, <i><b>Green Chile, Turkey & Posole Soup</b></i>. Dried Posole, aka hominy, is a staple in New Mexico and makes a delicious soup or stew. I use the leftover frozen turkey carcass from Thanksgiving and New Mexican green chile. (I always have a freezer full from the previous summer's crop.) It is more traditional to make this dish with red chile, but I like the combination of turkey and green chile.<br />
<br />

<br />
This recipe takes a lot of time to cook, but the actual hands-on work is fast. You can shorten the time by using prepared turkey or chicken broth, cooked turkey and canned posole but it is just not as good. I spend a January Sunday preparing the posole. The smell of the soup is intoxicating, and I can watch the football playoffs while everything is simmering away. The leftovers (if you have any) freeze well.<br />

Serve with warm flour tortillas, chips, guacamole, and salsa. Garnish the soup with chopped onion, cilantro, chopped radishes and a squeeze of lime. Yum...Happy Winter!<br />

<br />
<i><b>New Mexican Green Chile, Turkey & Posole Soup</b></i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>1 1/2 lbs dried posole (hominy)</i><br />
<i>1 turkey carcass</i><br />
<i>1 large onion, chopped</i><br />
<i>3 carrots, chopped</i><br />
<i>1 tablespoon dried parsley</i><br />
<i>8 New Mexican green chiles, roasted, seeded and chopped</i><br />
<i>4 cloves garlic, minced</i><br />
<i>sea salt</i><br />
<i>black pepper</i><br />
<i>chopped cilantro</i><br />
<i>chopped onion</i><br />
<i>chopped radishes</i><br />
<i>lime wedges</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Place posole in a large bowl, cover with water and soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Place turkey carcass in a large stockpot. Add half of the chopped onion, the carrots, parsley and enough water to cover all ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 hours. Add the soaked posole, bring back to a boil. Reduce heat enough to keep liquid at a slow boil (small bubbles) and continue cooking for 3 hours.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Add the remaining onion, green chiles, garlic and a large pinch salt and pepper. Simmer for another hour or until the posole is soft and has burst. Remove any remaining turkey meat from carcass and discard bones. Taste soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve in large bowls garnished with cilantro, onion, radishes and lime.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>I like adding warm flour tortillas, tortilla chips, salsa and guacamole to the menu. Freshly squeezed lime margaritas provide a festive touch.</i><br />

I love at least one spicy dish on my Thanksgiving and Christmas tables. The traditional menu, while delicious, screams for a bit of heat. These green beans are the perfect solution. Crisp-tender, mixed with pecans and sauteed onions, then bathed in a delicious chipotle infused butter. Quick, delicious and pretty. Happy Holidays!<br />

Ok, I am a bit of a rebel this week. My assignment from Food Network was <b>Holiday <i>Cookies</i></b>. And I did share a delicious almond-sugar cookie with pepitas and dried apricot recipe over on my <i><b><a href="http://napafarmhouse1885.blogspot.com/2015/12/almond-sugar-cookies-with-pepitas.html" target="_blank">Napa Farmhouse 1885 blog</a></b></i>. But I have been making these delicious brownies all holiday season, and I just had to share. Besides, brownies work on as assorted cookie platter, right?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-INWB56AWdcI/VmcbD1soVQI/AAAAAAAAfLw/9b8nH5TALJY/s1600/KAHLUA750.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-INWB56AWdcI/VmcbD1soVQI/AAAAAAAAfLw/9b8nH5TALJY/s400/KAHLUA750.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I copied the recipe out of a murder mystery book a long time ago. You know the ones where the protagonist is a caterer, or owns a bakery, or restaurant, or is somehow involved in cooking? And there are a number of recipes included? Well, this recipe came from one of those books. I made a copy of the recipe, but nowhere on the page is there a book or author name. Then I googled <i>"Kahlua brownie recipes from murder mystery book"</i> and found a number of authors have included a similar brownie in their books. But I cannot find this one. So, if any of you know the answer, please respond in the comments section so I can give the proper attribution.<br />
<br />
I followed the original recipe pretty closely. I just added the spices because I like cinnamon and Allspice with Kahlua and added dark chocolate chips because...well, obviously more chocolate is a good thing. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!<br />

<i><b>Kahlua-Spice Brownies</b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">(makes 2 dozen)</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b></i> <i>3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter</i><br />
<i>4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate</i><br />
<i>4 large eggs</i><br />
<i>2 cups granulated sugar</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup Kahlua</i><br />
<i>1 cup unbleached flour</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup white, whole wheat flour</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon cinnamon</i><br />
<i>1/4 teaspoon Allspice powder</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon baking powder</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon sea salt</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup dark chocolate chips</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon chopped pecans, toasted</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x12 inch rectangular baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the paper with butter and set aside.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Add the butter and baking chocolate to a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Continue this process in 30-second increments until the butter and chocolate has melted. Stir until chocolate is glossy. Set aside to cool.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>In the bowl of a mixer, add the eggs and sugar. Beat at low speed until combined and mixture in pale yellow. With machine running, add the Kahlua and the cooled chocolate mixture and mix until smooth. Add the flours, 1/4 cup at a time, the cinnamon, Allspice, baking powder and sea salt. Increase the speed to medium and process until just combined. Do not overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Pour batter into prepared pan. Place in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of pan comes out clean. Rest pan on a wire rack until cool and then cut into squares. Delicious on their own...out of this world with salted caramel ice cream.</i><br />

I love ranch dip but hate the ingredients used in that powdered mix stuff. Have you read the list of preservatives? No thank you. This version is made from lots of fresh herbs, sour cream, mayo, and spices. I have added canned chipotle peppers and their adobo sauce for flavor and heat.<br />
<br />

<br />
I serve this dip as an appetizer with veggies, chips, and crackers, of course, but it is also delicious drizzled over tacos or paired with Buffalo chicken wings or fried chicken. You can thin it with some buttermilk for a terrific salad dressing. I toss it with crisp lettuce, black beans, diced onion & tomatoes, grated cheese, and crushed corn tortilla chips. The perfect taco salad.<br />

This is my new favorite fall soup. Tender roasted carrots, caramelized shallots, onion, creamy coconut milk and, for a bit of heat, jalapeno pepper, red pepper flakes and fresh ginger, blended together for the perfect mix of sweet, savory and spicy goodness. This may just be the perfect Thanksgiving first course.<br />

I saw a version of this recipe in a wonderful book called, <i><b>The Good Cook's Book of Oil & Vinegar by Michele Anna Jordan</b></i> published back in 1992. The book's forward was written by M.F.K Fisher, so you know there is major credibility here. I have tweaked the soup recipe numerous times throughout the years, eliminated the called-for-yogurt, added onions and leek to the shallots, increased the amount of carrots, spiced it up with chiles, etc., but the basics are the same as the original. So delicious. Enjoy!<br />

<i><b>Roasted Carrot, Shallot & Coconut Soup</b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>adapted from The Good Cook's Book of Oil & Vinegar by Michele Anna Jordan</b></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(serves 6)</span></i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>1 1/2 lbs carrots, trimmed and scrubbed</i><br />
<i>1 medium leek, cut into 4 pieces</i><br />
<i>3 shallots, peeled</i><br />
<i>1 white onion, peeled and quartered</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i>1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon jalapeno, seeded and chopped</i><br />
<i>2 teaspoons ground cumin</i><br />
<i>1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes</i><br />
<i>3 cups vegetable stock (homemade or best quality purchased)</i><br />
<i>1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (from the dairy case)</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup coconut cream</i><br />
<i>juice of one lime</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds)</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon cumin seed</i><br />
<i>sea salt</i><br />
<i>freshly cracked black pepper</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup cilantro leaves</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup chopped green onions</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and add the carrots, leek, shallots, onion and 1/4 olive oil. Using your hands, roll the vegetables around in the oil until they are thoroughly coated. Season with a pinch each salt and pepper and roast in pre-heated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the carrots are soft and caramelized in spots. Remove from oven and let cool.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Chop the vegetables into large pieces. Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add the roasted vegetables, ginger, jalapeno, ground cumin and pepper flakes and saute for 5 minutes frequently stirring. Add the vegetable stock and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Carefully add the soup mixture to a blender and process until smooth. Depending on the size of your machine you may need to do this in batches. Pour the soup back into the pot and add the coconut milk, coconut cream, and lime juice*. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as needed.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Toast the pepitas and cumin seed in a small dry skillet over medium heat. This should take just a couple of minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. When you smell them, they are ready.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Serve the soup garnished with cilantro leaves, pepitas, cumin and green onions.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>*the soup can be made 1 day in advance. Do not add the lime juice until you rewarm the soup.</i><br />

This is a delicious fall salad perfect for a casual night's supper or a more elegant dinner. I plan to add to my Thanksgiving menu. The brussels sprouts & avocado pairing is inspired by a vegetable recipe from Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.The creaminess of the avocado and the sweetness of the roasted brussels sprouts is wonderful together. I turned the dish into a salad and added pomegranate seeds for taste, crunch, and color.<br />

We attended a final "advanced obedience training and cookout" last week with our dog Jasper. He is a fairly new rescue and had never been trained during his first 1 1/2 years of life. At 75 pounds, he is a big "puppy" and training was required. The group in the class became friends, and the cookout was a way of celebrating all of our dogs' (and our own) progress. I brought this salad, and it was a hit. Everyone asked for the recipe which is my test for determining if something is "bloggable." I hope you enjoy it too.<br />

<i><b>Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad with Avocado & Pomegranate Seeds</b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Inspired by Jean-Georges Vongerichten</b></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">serves 8</span></i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>3 lbs brussels sprouts</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling</i><br />
<i>1 large Hass avocado, pitted and diced</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes</i><br />
<i>3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup pomegranate seeds</i><br />
<i>1/2 pecans</i><br />
<i>sea salt </i><br />
<i>freshly cracked black pepper</i><br />
<i>8 handfuls salad greens</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the brussels sprouts and cook (blanch) for 3-4 minutes until they turn vivid bright green. (time depends on the size of the sprouts). Drain and place on a dry tea towel. Gently dry the sprouts with the towel. Place on a cutting board and slice sprouts in half. Place in a medium bowl and cover with the 1/4 cup olive oil. Combine until they are coated with the oil.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Turn out the sprouts (including the oil) onto a parchment lined, rimmed baking sheet, cut side down. Sprinkle with a teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and beginning to caramelize. Remove from oven and set aside.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant (about 3 minutes). Coarsely chop.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Add the brussels sprouts, including any oil in the pan, to the used medium bowl. Stir in the red pepper flakes, balsamic vinegar, avocado, pomegranate seeds, and pecans. Taste and season with salt and pepper.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Line a serving bowl with the salad greens. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mound the brussels sprouts mixture over the greens and serve.</i><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">I had a version of this dish years ago at a wonderful restaurant in Pasadena, California...the <a href="http://www.theparkwaygrill.com/" target="_blank">Parkway Grill</a>. They prepared it by adding cilantro leaves, toasted pine nuts and excellent extra virgin olive oil to homemade pasta. Simple, beautiful and delicious. Of course, that depends on your feelings about cilantro. I find that people either love it or hate it. I fall in the love, love, love it category, so I have made this dish at home many times. I decided to tweak the recipe quite a bit (shocking, right?) to give it a bit more depth, so I added cilantro pesto to the above ingredients and jalapeno for some heat. Very easy, very fast and...best of all...uses every bit of the cilantro bunch. No waste.</span><br />

Some to freeze and the rest for this pasta dish. Perfect for a Light Halloween supper before we go out and watch all the adorable trick-or-treaters begging for candy in the Plaza. Happy Halloween everyone! (Oh, btw, after 31 years the <i><b>Parkway Grill </b></i>is still going strong. I checked the <a href="http://www.theparkwaygrill.com/menu">menu</a> this morning. No Cilantro Pasta but everything looks amazing. Definitely on my list for the next time I am in Southern California)</span></span><br />

I have been having crazy busy days the past few weeks. You know that overscheduled life where meetings and appointments meld together into one big blur? That <i>"all of a sudden it is 5:00 pm and I wonder where the day went"</i> feeling? Well, welcome to my life these days. Don't get me wrong. I am loving everything I do. I am so fortunate to be able to give back by being involved with a number of non-profits for causes of which I have a great passion. My consulting business continues to grow. And of course, there is this blogging thing. :) So, for now, too busy is the norm.<br />

I love having easy and delicious recipes for those, <i>"it is late, and I do not feel like complicated cooking"</i> nights. This frittata perfectly fits the bill. Twenty minutes from start to finish, this dish combines steamed butternut squash, sauteed onion and leek, a kick of heat from chipotle peppers and adobo sauce (the sauce in canned chipotles) with fresh, organic eggs. Pair with a green salad or top olive oil and garlic rubbed bruschetta, and your fast, easy & delicious dinner is served.<br />

Warm over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook until the top looks fairly dry. While it is cooking, every so often take a spatula and lift the edges of the frittata to let the uncooked eggs run to the bottom of the pan. When the top is almost dry, take a dinner plate and place over the top of the skillet. Hold the plate (wear oven mitts) and flip the skillet so the frittata is on the plate. Place the now empty skillet back on the heat and slide the frittata back in the pan. The former bottom of the frittata is now on top. Continue cooking for another minute or two and then slide onto a serving dish. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top. Garnish with the cherry tomatoes.</em></span><br />

<br />
I have been making these bars for 15 years. The original recipe came from <b>Bon Appetit Magazine</b>, and it was called <i>Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Loaf Cake</i>. I liked the idea of baking this into bars instead of a loaf and topping with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. I have tweaked the recipe just a bit by swapping some of the white flour for <a href="http://wholegrainscouncil.org/whole-grains-101/whole-white-wheat-faq" target="_blank">white whole wheat</a>, adjusting the spices and using coconut milk instead of regular whole milk.<br />

We had a going away party last week for an employee at our local Habitat for Humanity affiliate, and the menu was potluck. Even though the weather was still warm during the day, the nights have a bit of a chill and, since it is fall, these bars came to mind. They were a hit; the four leftover bars were packed up for guests' breakfast the next day. Pumpkin and spices...welcome to fall.<br />

<i><b>Spiced Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Bars</b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">adapted from Bon Appetit Magazine November 2000</span></b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(makes 20 bars)</span></i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>3/4 cup <a href="http://wholegrainscouncil.org/whole-grains-101/whole-white-wheat-faq" target="_blank">white whole wheat flour</a></i><br />
<i>1 cup unbleached white flour</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon cinnamon</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon allspice</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon alum-free baking powder</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon baking soda</i><br />
<i>3/4 teaspoon salt</i><br />
<i>1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature</i><br />
<i>1 1/4 organic sugar</i><br />
<i>3 large eggs</i><br />
<i>1 cup canned pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon vanilla extract</i><br />
<i>1/3 cup coconut milk (from the dairy case, not canned)</i><br />
<i>3/4 cup plus 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips</i><br />
<i>3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts</i><br />
<i>1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x9 square non-stick baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Cream together butter and sugar in a mixer. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add pumpkin and vanilla and mix until smooth. Mix in 1/3 of flour mixture. Beat in 1/2 of the milk. Repeat with remaining flour mixture and milk until just smooth. (Do not over-mix). Stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips and walnuts.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Pour into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center of pan comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool on wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a knife around side of the pan, turn out onto the rack, and allow to cool.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Cut cake into bars. Place remaining 1/2 chocolate chips and olive oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds. Remove and stir. Continue heating in 10-second intervals until chocolate sauce is thin and runny. Place bars on serving platter and drizzle chocolate sauce over the top.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Bars can be made 2 days ahead. Store in plastic containers until ready to serve.</i><br />

<br />
So, we have a number of friends with September birthdays. Our good friends Mary Lane and Doug hosted a September birthday bash last Saturday night, and I was in charge of appetizers. I wanted to make a healthy version of nachos and thought using sweet potatoes instead of tortilla chips would be an interesting twist. I soon realized that transporting nachos would not be a good idea...they would be cold and soggy by the time we reached our destination. Flash of inspiration? Mixing all the ingredients together and calling it a dip. Guess what? It was delicious. Not a spoonful left. This dip will now be in regular rotation at my house.<br />
<br />

<br />
I roasted whole sweet potatoes, scooped out the flesh and placed in a large bowl. (I used Japanese sweet potatoes because that is what I had on-hand. Their flesh is white and sweet. They work perfectly in this recipe, but any sweet potato will do.) I stirred in all my favorite nacho toppings like cheese, black beans, jalapenos, green onions and salsa and piled it back into a couple of the skins. Served alongside a bowl of corn tortilla chips (and Doug's famous grapefruit margaritas), appetizers were served!<br />

<br />
<i><b>Sweet Potato "Nacho" Dip</b></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(serves 8-10)</i></span><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>4 medium to large sweet potatoes, scrubbed </i><br />
<i>1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup jarred or fresh salsa</i><br />
<i>1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, white or yellow</i><br />
<i>2 green onions, chopped, white and green parts</i><br />
<i>1 small jalapeno, seeded, deveined and minced (about 2 teaspoons, more if you like it spicy)</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped</i><br />
<i>sea salt</i><br />
<i>freshly ground black pepper</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>corn tortilla chips or crackers</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet at roast until flesh is easily pierced to the center with a sharp knife. (About 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours depending on the size of the potatoes. Start checking at 45 minutes). Remove from oven and allow to cool enough to handle. Do not turn off oven.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh keeping skins intact. Place 3 skins on baking sheet and place back in the oven. Add flesh to a large bowl. Stir in mayonnaise or sour cream, beans, salsa and half the cheese. Microwave for a couple of minutes until hot. Stir in onions, jalapeno, cilantro and a large pinch each of salt and pepper.Taste and adjust seasonings, jalapeno and/or salsa if desired.</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <i>Remove skins from oven and fill with the dip. Top with remaining cheese and serve immediately with corn tortilla chips and/or crackers. I serve with dip spreaders utensils. Easier than dipping the chips with this recipe.</i><br />

<br />
OK, I admit it. I am on a caramel and apple binge. I posted a recipe over on my <b><a href="http://napafarmhouse1885.blogspot.com/">Napa Farmhouse 1885</a></b> blog for <b><a href="http://napafarmhouse1885.blogspot.com/2015/09/grownup-caramel-apples.html">"Grownup Caramel Apples"</a></b>, baked apples topped with a caramel & scotch sauce. I have been sampling that dish all week. I decided I needed another apple & caramel recipe and, using leftover biscuits from brunch on Sunday, created spiced apple shortcakes. Drizzling caramel sauce over the dessert made it extra good. You can serve as is or pair with vanilla ice-cream. I am a fan.<br />
<br />

<br />
The biscuit recipe is my favorite...fast, quick, easy because they are dropped, not rolled, and made with extra virgin olive oil. Increase the size and baking time from the original so you have big biscuits for the shortcakes. I use a 1/4 cup to measure and bake about 10 minutes longer. You will have extra biscuits. That is a good thing. Enjoy for breakfast, with tea as an afternoon snack, or stuffed with your favorite protein for a quick sandwich. Happy Fall everyone!<br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Ah, so summer is just about over, the first NFL football games were played yesterday (and tonight is Monday Night Football), there is a chill in the air most mornings...but 80 degrees in the afternoon...and my garden is producing mad amounts of tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, herbs, kale, onion, leeks, beets and chard. Yes fall is almost here. This means the weekly summer posts with </span><a href="http://blog.foodnetwork.com/" style="color: #444444;" target="_blank">Food Network</a><span style="color: #444444;"> have ended for the year but, never fear, </span><b><span style="color: #990000;">Fall Fest</span></b><span style="color: #444444;"> has arrived.

We all create a recipe using the same item or theme and then we share all the recipes with you. The 2015 line up is as follows:</span><br />

Since we are starting with soup, I thought I would share one of my favorites. This spiced vegetable soup can be made year-round, just swap out the vegetables. In winter, I use canned tomatoes. In summer, I throw in some freshly shucked corn on the cob. Whatever is in season will probably work. Just ensure the ingredients are as fresh as possible, organic or home-grown if you can. Enjoy!</div>

Add chickpeas, stock and the 4 cups of reserved soaking liquid. Simmer until beans are tender, approx 45 minutes.<br />3. Using the side of a chef's knife, mash the garlic, cilantro and salt into a paste. Add garlic paste, bell pepper, kale, celery, tomatoes, lentils, tomato paste, and all the spices to bean mixture. Squeeze the juice from one lemon juice to the pot. Stir. Simmer uncovered until lentils are tender. 30-40 minutes.<br />4.

My friend Cynthia sent me this recipe a few months ago, and I have been making versions of the original ever since. I have tinkered and tweaked so much that I guess you could I am addicted. The smooth and creamy chickpeas (a.k.a. garbanzo beans) are coarsely mashed and then turned into a cross between hummus and salad. Tahini, soy sauce, chili sesame oil and lemon juice are stirred into the mashed chickpeas and then tons of fresh vegetables and herbs are added to the dish.<br />

<br />
<br />
The result is perfect as a spread for crackers or chips and is wonderful as a filling spooned into pita bread or piled high on toasted whole wheat bread topped with lettuce, sprouts, and tomatoes. I brought this to a dinner party last month where I was assigned appetizers, and every drop was gobbled up. (yes I am looking at you, Janelle :) ) I suggest adding this recipe to your gathering...maybe this weekend's Labor Day BBQ?<br />
<br />
And, FYI, I just discovered <a href="https://www.houseoftsang.com/products/hot-chili-sesame-oil/">chili sesame oil</a>. This stuff is good! Spicy, hot and delicious, I have been adding to everything. It adds the perfect amount of heat with the nuttiness you expect from sesame oil. Try in stir-frys, salad dressings, marinades or spreads. Trust me, you need this in your pantry.<br />

<br />
This is the perfect summer salad. Refreshing, healthy, delicious and chock full of the freshest, ripest summer produce imaginable. Peaches, tomatoes, fresh mint and toasted almonds. The splash of vinegar adds a touch of sweetness, the freshly cracked black pepper a bit of spice. I usually prepare the dish early in the afternoon and allow to chill in the fridge until dinner.<br />

I first posted this recipe on my <a href="http://napafarmhouse1885.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Napa Farmhouse 1885 blog</a> back in 2011. The frozen dessert was featured in a special issue of the now defunct magazine <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyday_Food" target="_blank">Everyday Food</a></b>. Back then, gluten free recipes were just starting to become popular. Since then, I have made the delicious almond flour cookies numerous times and served then with everything from fresh fruit and caramel dipping sauce to a side for pudding. But my favorite way is filled with frozen yogurt. Of course, you can use the more traditional ice-cream, but the frozen yogurt just sounds healthier, right?<br />
<br />

Ice Cream Sandwiches scream summer to me. Honestly, they can be made year round but when the weather is hot, and the sun is shining, nothing is more cooling and refreshing than this dessert. Even better, the cookies are a snap to make and, once they are baked, the recipe is as simple as spooning best quality frozen yogurt between two cookies, sandwiching them together and eating. For a more indulgent dessert, dip half the cookie into caramel or chocolate sauce and serve. Enjoy!<br />

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on high until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and egg yolk and beat until combined, scraping down the bowl as needed, 1 minute. With the mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat until dough comes together (dough will be sticky). Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate 2 hours.</em><br />

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 1/4-inch-thick round. With a 2 1/2 inch fluted cookie cutter (or any shape you like) cut dough into 24 rounds and place on two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets (reroll scraps if necessary). Freeze 15 minutes, and then bake until cookies are lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks, 20 minutes. (to store, transfer to an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days) To serve, transfer frozen yogurt to the refrigerator to soften, 20 minutes. Scoop 1/4 cup of the frozen yogurt onto flat sides of 12 cookies and sandwich with remaining cookies. Serve immediately. If desired, dip into chocolate or caramel sauce, set on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet for 2 minutes in the refrigerator to harden and then serve.</em><br />
