PEACE ~ LOVE ~ COOKING
Lunch with Hermes. Hermes is the God known as The Messenger, described as a trickster among other traits! The trick in this dish…vegan feta. I was called a liar (ahem) the first time I served it with this amazing vegan feta! I love this dish for many reasons, including…pretty easy to make, delicious, and very […]
These pickled beets are a hit! Easy to prepare and easier to love…on salads or all on their own. We keep them handy and suspect you will too once you try them. Enjoy!
While I admit, I have the gift of a short memory for many things, I’m pretty certain my Dad made some version of this salad when I was a kid. As smart as my Dad is, he likely made this the easy way by combing the beans and onions and tossing in his favorite (store-bought) […]
This was an experiment gone right! It’s been so long since the first time we made this that I can’t remember exactly how it came about, but if I had to guess, it was a moment of tossing together whatever we had on hand because we were low on traditional salad dressing ingredients. Anyway, it […]

Inspired by my brilliant friend, Kirsten who one evening, as we were preparing a spicy curry dinner together suggested a cool cucumber salad as a compliment. Since this fateful evening, we have perfected the salad and ta da…here it is! Enjoy! ps…look […]
Pura Vida! ~ Pure Life! This popular phrase is about embracing and appreciating the simple life, which is the Costa Rican way. It’s no wonder it is one of the happiest places on earth. Sandy beaches, lush rainforests, plentiful wildlife, delicious fruits, and amazing local people. Costa Ricans appreciate the simple things in […]
All manners are forgotten when this salad lands on the table. No joke, it amazes me every time! My kids can’t get enough, they literally grab and eat it by the fistful. And, hubby loves it just as much – so much that when we lived in Austin, TX (food truck capital of the world), […]
