Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Feta, Thyme & Pine Nuts
My son brought home an enormous sweet potato and it just sat there, waiting for me to make something with it…I kept looking at it in the basket, taking up so much space, but couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with it…in the meantime, I’m always getting emails from Williams-Sonoma – I really like that store and enjoy browsing through their website – and so one day I clicked on their recipe finder and typed in sweet potato…up popped this recipe that looked pretty good to me…I had all the ingredients at home and decided to make it for a side dish to my Lemon-Garlic Chicken Thighs.

Salmon Cobb Salad
A while back Linda made an excellent Cobb Salad with a twist of her own. Today I made one with my twist … Salmon and my lemon vinaigrette. Whenever my Hubby cooks for me it’s always salmon, so I used the leftovers, and instead of hard boiled eggs, I made them soft. Just delicious! Continue reading

Mediterranean Hummus Platter: Revisited
Today I’m revisiting one of my favorite summer platters – this one is perfect to serve at your next barbecue…Who doesn’t love Hummus?! It’s like a meal and a snack! I read somewhere that making your own beans from dried is so much better for you so I started to make my own – starting with chickpeas. The crock pot is essential for this task and if you start them before you go to bed they’re done by morning. I store them and use them for all kinds of wonderful dishes…Hummus of course being the #1 motivation. Continue reading
