Basil Spring Rolls
The world works in mysterious ways. Some call it fate. Some call it luck. Some call it serendipity. Whatever you call it, life can bring unexpected surprises from time to time. Like when you get the “Will you go with me?” note back and the “Yes!” box is checked. Or like when you get called…
Sushi
Growing up in the South meant that fish was battered and deep fried. And the only raw fish I came in contact with was at the end of a hook used to catch larger fish. And rice, well, any rice we ate was covered in gravy or cooked as perlow. So when I saw…
Lentil Tacos
In 1981, Christmas morning just could not arrive fast enough. I had worked hard all year behaving. There was no shot I was on the naughty list. And, I had written the perfect letter to Santa outlining in exquisite detail what I wanted for Christmas. So, I just sat there waiting to rush into the…

Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Bean Tostadas
Do you remember when Taco Bell introduced $.59 tacos and $.79 burritos? I do quite vividly. It was back in high school. For $5.00, you could take a girl out for an authentic south of the border meal (drink of her choice included, of course) and still have enough money to put a dollar’s worth…
Vegetable Couscous
“I think we are all going to enjoy this little treat. I got the recipe from Ladies Home Journal. The mail got wet in the rain. So, some of the pages ran together. What I couldn’t read, I improvised with my own little creative ideas. You see it’s got raisins in it…and you like raisins.”…
