It’s rare that I spend time reading my own cookbook, except when I want to cook a recipe that I have not cooked in a while. Some of my recipes like Herbed Polenta, Creamy Dreamy Zucchini Chowder and Shane’s Fabulous Lentil Soup are committed to memory. Others less so. Recently, I was searching
Fresh Shelling Beans: How to Cook Shellies in Your Instant Pot
Fresh shelling beans or “shellies” such as black-eyed peas, crowder peas, and butter beans can be hard to come by. Shelling beans have edible seeds, but the pods must be removed which can be a cumbersome and time-consuming task.

Salad Days
Late spring and into summer is made for eating salad. The weather in most parts of the country is perfect for growing abundant amounts of lettuce and other veggies.

Avocado Salad Parfait from the Jazzy Vegetarian
Laura Theodore, the creator of the Jazzy Vegetarian, came out with the Vegan-Ease book last year. She’s had a television show and this recipe is featured on Season 5 on Create TV. Way to go Laura.

Summer Produce: What’s in Season?
Do You Know What’s in Season? If I had a dollar for each time I asked this question and people did not know, I would not be writing this – at least not from my desk.
