Here’s one of my favorite pot luck recipes. It’s pretty simple, & really delicious. There’s a bunch of chopping, but other than that it pretty much makes itself, especially if you opt for the canned chick peas. This recipe fills my 4 quart mixing bowl! It makes enough to feed an army, so there usually are leftovers, which…

Go ahead & make a test batch now, and see how easy it really is! You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the…
Minty Chickpea, Green Bean, & Tomato Salad
According to Wikipedia, chickpeas have been cultivated by humans for 7,500 years. The name “chickpea” dates back at least to the 1300s in French.

Sweet & Spicy Pickled Peppers
A little while ago, I reblogged the Sweet & Spicy Pickled Peppers from Simply Made Kitchen and Crafts. It looked just perfect the way it was, so I felt no need to tweak it. I did, however, feel a need to make it! I have so many jalapeños in my garden, and I can’t have Chorizo-Stuffed Jalapeños every night,…

Warm September Farro Salad
Don’t you just love September? Here in Upstate NY, the garden bursts with beautiful tomatoes, beans, herbs, and more, and the local orchards have early apples. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day on the first day of Fall when I made this hearty salad. What fun to combine everything September in a bowl! It’s pretty warm…
Radish Salad With Summer Squash
It’s raining radishes! They make a perfect base for this summer salad. It’s got a great complement of crunchy, sweet, and snappy, a perfect side for Black & Bleu burgers from Primal (seriously, if you’re in the 518, pick up a couple of these delicious burgers. Cracked pepper seasoning around the outside, bleu cheese incorporated into the burger. Perfection!)…
