Cashew Butter and Chocolate Cashew Butter
So this is the last recipe post of breakfast month. One of the things I miss having for breakfast is a toasted bagel or a toasted slice of bread with some thinly spread butter and some thickly spread peanut butter on top of that. The peanut butter gets all warm and gooey and it’s a…

Garlic Double Header: Toum Sauce and Garlic Sorghum Flatbread
It’s our last garlic post of Keeping the Vampires Away month, so I decided to do a double header. And they actually go great together, although you’re going to have to make heroic efforts to get rid of the aroma once you’re finished eating. The great thing about these two recipes is that they use…

Cashew-Ginger Hummus
This recipe came out of what I had in the house when I wanted to bring some hummus over to Denise’s for a gathering. Denise is allergic to sesame, an allergy I understand is becoming more common, but not allergic to cashews. I’m not sure how common this combo is, but if your diet allows…

Garlic Scape Pesto Sauce
My friend Mary S, of the green thumb, has been gifting me garlic scapes. Since her garlic was planted in the fall and is almost as tall as me, her garlic has lots of scapes, whereas my garlic was planted in the spring, and the tallest plant might be, oh, six inches high, and there are no…

Summer Mango Salsa
Apparently it’s mango season. In browsing the grocery store flyers looking for inspiration, I noticed that two of our three chains had mangoes on sale. I’ve never eaten a mango before, but I’ve had mango juice and liked it. So I thought I’d give it a try. Why not, right? According to the Mango Board,…
