Some of my other favorite ways to make mussels are Steamed Mussels with Piri Piri Sauce and Mussels in Basil Cream Sauce. When I make this, I usually use my own homemade marinara sauce (I never use jarred sauce) when I make this, but I tried this with Delallo’s Pomodoro Fresco and I have to say I was very impressed, and so was my husband! It tastes just like my homemade sauce and this dish came together in less than 15 minutes....
Ratatouille with Farro There’s no need to turn the oven on – this easy summer Ratatouille Farro recipe is made all on the stove. The stewed vegetables are served over farro and finished with lots of fresh basil. For more delicious takes on the classic French dish, try my Baked Ratatouille with Cheese, and Ratatouille Baked Chicken. Is ratatouille a summer or winter dish? Although ratatouille is served warm, it’s a summer dish since it has so much summer produce, like tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplant, and zucchini....
Rest assured, this is no ordinary salad. The base is a mixture of crispy and chewy roasted butternut squash and cabbage wedges, which get mixed with chopped kale, carrot ribbons, and chickpeas. Everything gets tossed in a tangy red wine vinaigrette and finally topped with an addictive sweet-and-spicy almond crunch. In case this salad doesn’t sound as good as I think it does, then you should trust my partner Max’s feedback....
The aroma of roasted pumpkins and sage smells like everything I love about Thanksgiving – warmth, comfort, family and friends. Totally optional, but I love using a hollowed out pumpkin as a bowl for a gorgeous presentation. I went pumpkin picking a few weeks ago and had so many sugar pumpkins, I knew I was going to use some as bowls. Wouldn’t this be beautiful on your Thanksgiving table! If you want to do this, look for small pumpkins, about 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 lbs, otherwise your bowls will hold too much soup....
While my mom was visiting me in California during Navratri, I made her Sabudana Khichdi. Of course, she guided me on how to make it so we wouldn’t end up with a sticky mess as it’s very easy to end up with sticky khichdi. Being the food blogger that I am, I didn’t let her eat the Sabudana ki Khichdi right away – my poor mom. I first took my pictures, and then handed her a bowl with love....
Savory Zucchini Asiago Tomato Scones I was at the farmer’s market in Long Beach this past weekend and bought lots of zucchini and tomatoes. I also came across a stand selling savory scones, a concept I fell in love with. Rather than my usual scones that I make with fruit, these are made with seasonal summer ingredients – perfect for brunch, lunch or with dinner. Today I had a scone for lunch with a beautiful heirloom tomato salad from the tomatoes I bought over the weekend....

Skillet Mixed Berry Buttermilk Cobbler Today is the perfect day to bake a cobbler! I love cobblers with their crusty tops and sweetened fruit. Baking them in a skillet makes them rustic and un-fussy. They are so versatile, you can swap the berries with any fruit that’s in season. You can even use frozen berries, I just let them thaw on the counter first. Some of my favorite crisps are Triple Berry Crisp, Blueberry Peach Crisp, and Apple Cranberry Crumble....
The best thing about this dish – wait. scratch that. I almost said the best thing about this dish is that it takes only 30 minutes but I think in all reality the very best thing about this dish is how darn tasty it is because that sweet and savory sesame flavor is out of this world yummy. So I guess the second best thing about this dish is that it takes just 30 minutes (maybe even a little less?...

Spinach Feta Frittata Other frittata recipes I love are Light Swiss Chard Frittata, Mushroom Shallot Frittata and Caramelized Onion, Zucchini and Red Pepper Frittata. To make this low fat frittata I’ve replaced most of the eggs with egg whites. For convenience I usually buy Trader Joe’s cage free liquid egg whites, but you can use Egg Beaters or separate them yourself if you prefer. When buying parmesan cheese, I like to buy Parmigiano-Reggiano, it has a sharp, strong-flavored, nutty taste....
