Pantestcan pasta is one of my summer favorites, and a perfect way to celebrate Mediterranean Diet Month. The Mediterranean Diet is a heritage diet that comprises whole foods like fresh…
Green Greatness – Beet, Celery and Arugula Salad With Brazil Nuts

Sign up for my free, virtual class this Thursday, hosted by Miami Dade Public Library where I’ll be sharing three different ways to enjoy greens — all fresh, nothing canned, and entirely great. This…
Traditional meets Tropical Salad, featuring Fullei Fresh Sprouts
Fresh with spring produce, pretty as a blossom, this beet, fennel and citrus salad is suitable for both Easter and Passover. No, really. For 800 years, Ashkenazic Jews skipped seeds and beans at Passover, classifying them as kitniyot. That includes bean sprouts and tahini — sesame seed paste. Then in 2016, the Rabbinical Council lifted…
Olives, Oranges and Food for Thought | Jamie Schler
Ramadan Mubarek — wishing you a blessed Ramadan. Whatever your faith, or even lack of faith, spring is the time for renewal, reflection, rededication to who we want to be. All over the world, Muslims fast each day of Ramadan. That means a daily fast for 30 days. Fasting wigs my husband out, but I…
Iftar Quinoa With Olives, Dates and Dukkah
Across the Middle East, Iftar, the Ramadan break fast after sunset, often features olives and dates, two natural restoratives. In this Iftar Quinoa, olives and dates come together with quinoa for a filling salad topped with a dusting of dukkah, a heady, heavenly blend of nuts, seeds and spices.

Cabbage and Caraway, Ukraine and Ireland, You and Me | Sunflower Slaw
Sunflowers are Ukraine’s national flower and this sunflower slaw recipe features both sunflower seeds and caraway. Cabbage gets a bad rep, but it’s a generous vegetable. I got a cute little head of cabbage to make St. Patrick’s Day bubble and squeak. Its densely furled leaves disguised just how much of it there was. Even…
Pi – Greeks Bearing Gifts
My husband’s a CPA, a numbers guy. I’m more of a word person. Yet it dawned on me today is Pi Day the celebration that takes place each year on 3/14 — the first three digits of pi. You remember this from Euclidian geometry, right? Euclid was a Greek mathematician who founded geometry back some…

Dirty Rice | Mardi Gras Memory
One summer many years ago, my father had some work around New Orleans and not much money, so he brought my mother and me along and turned it into a holiday. We stayed in what must have been the French Quarter, in a smallish room with wood-slatted shuttered windows opening out onto a narrow balcony….
