Discover Kasha: A Delicious Alternative to Quinoa


Buckwheat, Porridge, Groats, Diet

I've rediscovered kasha. Have you ever tasted it? 

I remember my mom making kasha when I was younger, but somewhere along the way, I have forgotten all about it in the last few years. This week however, as I prepared one of my grandmother's family recipes for an upcoming Jewish holiday, the recipe called for kasha and I rediscovered it!

Do you know the last time I made muffins? 
Either do I!!  It's been that long. 

Lately, I've been craving something sweet. Since I want to keep my treats on the healthier side, I decided to make blueberry lemon muffins! Yum!

And Just Like That, It’s Fall!


fall decorations with mums and pumpkins

Yay! It beginning to feel like Fall!  

There’s something magical about the first signs of fall—the crisp air, the vibrant colors,  the familiar sight of pumpkins adorning the lawns and doorsteps, and festive decorations welcoming the new season.

House in Hilton Head, SC

I just returned from from a week's vacation in Hilton Head, South Carolina. We rented a large vacation house with 3 other retired couples and took advantage of the post season reduced rental prices.

One Pot UnStuffed Vegan Cabbage Rolls ; A No-Fuss Plant-Based Meal




cabbage and tomato sauce in a skillet

The weather has cooled off a bit, and I'm already thinking of heartier foods! One of my favorites is stuffed cabbage BUT it's way too labor intensive for me to want to sit and roll the cabbage, so I make an "unstuffed cabbage roll" version instead, which is an easy one pot plant-based (GF) recipe with no rolling involved!

Discovering Jicama: The Crunchy, Versatile Veggie You’ll Love



Is it a potato? A brown beet? a turnip? No!! It's a jicama!!

Have you even tasted jicama? 

It's a root veggie that you might have seen in your local grocery store or farmers' market, but never knew what to do with it. It's not pretty on the outside, but it is crunchy and delicious and slightly sweet on the inside. Like a carrot, it can be eaten raw or cooked.
