I’m sharing just in time for Winter squashes. From garden to table in no time! I use Delicata squash for this soup as it has a built-in “buttery brown sugar” taste to it, but you can use any smaller Winter squash. Plus, I just happened to have one growing in my garden…!

Cashew-Cookie CarolBars
We buy and love eating Larabars, “The Original Fruit And Nut Food Bar”. Tom can carry one in his golf bag. I, on the other hand, love them with a cup of tea in the afternoon. I also carry them with me in the car in case I get too hungry while doing errands. I…
An Easy And Authentic Marinara
I was lucky to have a neighbor’s mom, Kay, share her delicious marinara recipe years ago. When she was younger, she had lived next to a young woman from Italy who had shared her recipe. I don’t think it could be any more delicious or simple. I’m happy to pass it on.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
I got my new cookbook, Lorna Sass’ Short-Cut Vegean and decided that the first recipe I would try would be Red Pepper Hummus. First, I have to say: I love Lorna Sass! I was the biggest pressure cooker scaredy-cat years ago. But with the help of Lorna holding my hand (with her expert tips and…
