Seed Power Cookie – Not a Guilty Pleasure

October 27, 2019 By Jittery Cook 4 Comments

Seed Power Cookies on a black plate, on a black background with almond slivers scattered around

Admit it: You crave cookies. But imagine if the cookies were a healthy snack. My talented foodie friend Marcy Seidman (no pun intended) inspired this Seed Power Cookie — so good tasting, and good for you, that there’s no guilt, just pure pleasure.

Pasta Bolognese with Lentils – Minimizing the Beef

September 17, 2019 By Jittery Cook 7 Comments

Pasta Bolognese with Lentils served over rotini on a black plate.

What a joyful experience — cooking meals for seniors in bulk in a commercial kitchen with experienced chefs. Arlene Lerner and Susan Schwartz, my chef buddies at Meals on Wheels, added to the joy. Arlene was in charge of the Bolognese sauce, fleshing out the modest meat supply with red lentils, eggplant and mushrooms. The small amount of cinnamon…

Roasted Red Pepper Pesto – I give five forks

July 15, 2019 By Jittery Cook Leave a Comment

Roasted Red Pepper Pesto served on roasted zoodles in small black bowls with small black forks and colourful napkins on a white background.

This Roasted Red Pepper Pesto clamours for your attention. The condiment shakes up your taste buds, whether you serve it as sauce, dressing or dip. Did I dream up this recipe? No, I discovered it in Mareya Ibrahim‘s Eat like You Give a Fork, and I give it five (out of five) forks.

Rigatoni Primavera in 2 large casseroles just finished baking in the oven

When my son asked for some advice on what to bring to a work potluck lunch party, I just had to volunteer my services — and my sister’s. She’s my go to food prep buddy. For all you fans of pasta, roasted veggies, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, arugula, fresh mozzarella, Parmesan and basil, this Rigatoni…
