This rainbow bean soup mix was a recipe I came up with last year to use as a table decoration for the local woman’s club I belong to. The rainbow bean soup mix is packaged up in a jar and you can decorate the top with decorative fabric. It makes a pretty gift or holiday…

Dairy Free Stuffed Mushrooms
This recipe for dairy free stuffed mushrooms was created kind of on accident. I wasn’t exactly trying to come up with this exact recipe, but it turned out so tasty I decided to write it down and use it for entertaining. So not only am I obsessed with breakfast foods, if you’ve been a reader…
Cold Lithuanian Borscht
My maternal grandfather was Lithuanian and this recipe for Cold Lithuanian borscht (beet soup) came from his mother when he was a little boy. My mom grew up eating this and while I’m not a big fan of red beets, I prefer roasted gold, everyone that has had this soup adores it. My mother and…
Beet Risotto is Good for Fall
It’s fall recipe time, so I thought I’d share this one for beet risotto. This is not only a nice fall side dish but can also be used for Thanksgiving. I don’t have a clue to the recipe’s origin, but know we used this for many years when we had our catering company. BEET RISOTTO…

Sautéed Marinated Tofu

Red Rice Salad
I found a recipe for red rice salad this past spring and never got around to making it. I’m actually glad I waited until summer to make this so I could use fresh summer peaches. Sure you could use frozen, but it just won’t taste the same. Red Rice Salad 1 Persian cucumber, washed, sliced…
Pan Fried Polenta
I have a favorite lunch – I don’t’ do it very often these days, but I adore pan fried polenta. My favorite way of serving it is to get the ready made tubes of polenta, slice it up and pan fry it. Sprinkle with a little kosher salt and serve with peach-mango salsa. Now I…
