anything from the garden, asian spicy food
Curried Lentil Soup
The spices used to flavor this hearty, vegetarian soup were inspired by the time I spent in India and my love of Indian food. I top each serving with yogurt and serve it with toasted naan. The spicy scent takes me back to India.
Garden Frittata
An Italian omelet that can be varied to include fresh vegetables and much more. Cut is small pieces and served at room temperature Frittata is a treat with a glass of wine. This is a recipe that calls out for creative variations, asparagus, bell pepper, scallions, mushrooms, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, smoked fish, herbs from the garden, yesterday's ratatouille, tomato sauce, salsa, chili, or even caviar, etc. If you have eggs, seasonings, a trusty skillet or nonstick pan, and are willing to take a chance you will succeed.
Whole Grain Sunflower Seed Bread
In less than five minutes the batter will be ready to rest for half an hour of unattended raising time. It needs to bake for bakes about 35 minutes. I use a digital thermometer to test it. When it reaches an internal temp of 190ยบ it's done. It is wonderful either still warm from the oven and slathered with butter. If you can't eat a whole loaf at one sitting, slice it up, freeze it and toast slices before slathering with either unsalted butter or cream cheese. I vary ingredients according to the contents of my pantry - dried cranberries, sour cherries, currants or raisins, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeks, pumpkin seeds in any combination work.
