Fried Zucchini Flowers

Fried Zucchini Flowers

There have been books written on the zucchini blossom. The forerunner of the ever-burgeoning mottled cylinder, is edible. More than edible, it's delicious in an Earth Mother kind of way. That which some just chuck away as waste, can in fact become a delectable antipasto, or be part of a pasta condiment or even a salad element (I never disdain fresh flowers tossed in with my salad greens). Now that they're blooming on farmer's markets everywhere, gather those blossoms while you can and prepare for a true Roman tastebud epiphany.

Many people in my family are vegetarian but, being from Texas, still love Mexican food. This was a recipe I adapted so that everyone could have something to eat at our large family gatherings. Whether you make it as is, or throw in your own veggies, it is sure to please even those carnivores in the family.

Similar to spinach quiche, but without a crust. You could try adding bacon bits, some chopped water chestnuts, or whatever you prefer.

This recipe is amazing! I made it while DH was out and very briefly dropped them into the deep fryer (that I haven't used in 2 1/2 yrs!) just to get them evenly browned all around. At that point I stashed them in the oven warmer and made the rest of dinner. When DH got home everything was almost ready and I served him "meatballs in mushroom sauce" on brown rice. He LOVED them and had no idea that they weren't beef! In subsequent makings I haven't bothered with the deep frying and we both enjoy them.

This colorful, crunchy, sweet salad will always be the talk of the table. Everyone loves this salad and it seems I can't ever make enough as they all come back for a second serve.

This is my mother’s recipe that I recently found looking through a very old cook book. It gives me much comfort to share it with all of you. It comes to you with wonderful memories and love. Enjoy!

Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

French fries are a common side dish to go with many American meals, but did you ever try sweet potato fries instead? Well if you haven’t, you are missing out! This simple recipe is easy to prepare and jazzes up the regular burger and fries combo. Plus, these are also healthier than regular fries because sweet potatoes contain vitamins A and C, which are both antioxidants. So the next time you are looking for a delicious addition to your quick meal, throw these babies in the oven and let them work their magic.

A delicious and extremely HEALTHY soup originally created by Hippocrates and revised for today. This is my favorite soup of all time because it's such a miracle of health as used by Dr. Max Gerson in the Early 40s. He is one of my heroes.
