Appetizers

My favorite way of making crab cakes is filling them with vegetables. It’s the easiest way to add a whole variety of vegetables to the dinner plate of picky eaters.

Crispy, flavorful, vibrant and nutrient dense, this dish will become a staple in your kitchen.

Beef tongue is wonderful in sandwiches, wraps, tacos, salads, and soups. Have it with your eggs in the morning, or a salad for lunch, or maybe steamed veggies and sauteed greens for dinner!

You can keep the freshness and crunch of vegetables simply by marinating them.

This recipe is simple, easy, fresh and full of bold yummy flavors.

What kid or adult does not like meatballs? They are cute, easy to bite, flavorful and it’s very easy to hide vegetables or greens in them.

It’s a wonderful dish on it’s own, packed with vitamins, minerals and protein that also makes a great side dish to your meat and fish main courses as well as savory breakfasts.

When you think eggplant, do you ever consider boiling it? This boiled eggplant recipe is easy, fast and delicious.

On days I do not have the time to make a big breakfast or do not feel like cooking at all this is a definite winner for my whole family.

Latkes, draniki, deruni, potato pancakes…every culture, every cuisine has some sort of variant of these delicious, crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside, flavorful medallions.

Nothing beats a fresh mixed salad with lemon, garlic and extra virgin olive oil for me.  Crunchy, fresh, tasty, nutritious and so full of flavor.

Smelts are rich in healthy vitamins and high quality protein but also low in mercury.  They are fantastic fried, roasted, broiled and stewed.
