Keyed Up Cranberry Spread
Cranberry, meet Key Lime. This creamy, zingy concoction works equally well as a spread or a dip and looks great on a charcuterie board and at the table. Appropriate for use at any meal.
Hummus
This popular, ancient food—like so many popular, ancient foods—has been subject to multiple claims of origin. We may never know the origins of hummus, but we know what we like.
Yenta Polenta
Family traditions led to an unusual name for a quick, easy-to-make Italian staple that crosses cultural boundaries.
Italian Meat Sauce
This sauce, which works in all manner of Italian dishes calling for red sauce, blends thinking of Sicilian and Northern Italian former in-laws. It’s loaded with meats, but you can reserve sauce without meat, too. I’ve thrown in ideas for a vegetarian, too. Feeds a small army. Freezes well.
Nonfat Yogurt
This creamy, tangy, tasty nonfat yogurt needs only two ingredients, a little time and patience and an Instant Pot. It’s fermented food and “good medicine.”
Vegetable Stock
One word: umami. Two words: or not…. Either way, this is a fabulous base stock that uses a few items and scraps to inject flavor into many different dishes. It’s also open to variations.
Elote (Mexican Street Corn)
This recipe has been on my “to do” list for a year. It was a great way to close out my first year, because it debuted at a lovely celebration of another milestone: my stepdaughter’s college graduation.
Mojo Cabbage Slaw
In search of salad sides for Cuban meals, I discovered a cabbage slaw with Cuban flair—a Mojo dressing with some added zest.
Slow-cooked Mojo Pork Loin
A classic Cuban dish infused with a marinade of garlic tempered by citrus and a hint of other seasonings—with a vegan option. Bonus? Two ingredient-dish.
