Curry, couscous and carrots make a healthy summer salad

With hot weather, we start thinking of salads, and this week's recipe is for a quick and easy one that is both healthy and delicious. It takes little time to prepare and pairs well with all types of main dishes, or you can eat it all by itself for lunch. Couscous, especially the whole wheat variety (which I find at Trader Joes in the Village), is a healthy grain and so easy to make. It’s a nice change from pasta or rice. read more...

For a make-ahead breakfast to feed a crowd, try this strata

May is the month when we find ourselves hosting all types of events. Whether it’s a graduation or communion party, or if you’re having the family over for a Mothers Day brunch, this breakfast strata is a great make-ahead dish. I serve it along with fresh cut fruit and Danish from the bakery. It is really delicious and feeds quite a few people.

This year, do Cinco de Mayo at home, with this great menu

Little fuss, and a lighter salad for after Easter

After all the Easter holiday eating, light is on the menu this week. I just made this salad and found the flavor combination is delicious, light and satisfying. If you are looking for something simple and light to eat this week, whether for lunch or dinner, try this salad. It is easy to make and if can be paired with a piece of fish or grilled chicken breast if you want a heartier meal. I found a terrific frozen shrimp at the Village Food Market that cooks up wonderfully. read more...
