Beet Tzatziki

There is this great cafe, Sofra, owned by the famous Ana Sortun, near my house, and it has a wonderful mezze bar. I often stop by on my way home to get a "pre-dinner snack" from the bar's many selections, like hummus, muhummara, or skordalia which they'll put on a platter for you to eat with crackers or pita. One of those mezze dips that particularly love and always get is their beet tzatziki. It is not only delicious but a beautiful color. The only downside to this dip --- it is quite expensive to buy. So I decided to make up a recipe for my own, and, if I do say so myself, it worked out even better than I expected.Thanks for the inspiration Sofra!

Makes About 2 cups of dip

The Joy Kitchen's Roasted Cantaloupe

Next time you find yourself resenting a bad, watery cantaloupe, cut it up and roast it. The cubes collapse slightly, having lost some of their water weight. What's left is sweeter, more complex and jewel-like, with lightly singed edges. Eat it as is, put it on top of your yogurt, granola, or buttery cakes, or puree it into popsicles. Adapted slightly from The Joy Kitchen.

Makes roasted cantaloupe -- varies according to the size of the cantaloupe in question

Citrus & Fresh Fig Chia Seed Pudding

This is a lightly fragrant and delicately flavored citrus and fresh fig chia seed pudding. I love fresh figs and now is the time to devour them. The little fig seeds mingle with the chia seeds for a crunchy texture and the citrus and maple brighten the otherwise mellow, creamy pudding. It’s not quite dessert but it is a lovely and refreshing summer breakfast for two.

Basil Pignoli Pesto Recipe

A simple basil pignoli pesto recipe, I love it on everything. It’s easy to make and versatile. A classic pesto recipe that goes well with so many things. Some of my favorites: a slice of crusty bread, pasta, tarts, fish, drizzled over steam veggies, on a grilled chicken breast, on a panini sandwich, or on a pizza. It’s said that the best way to make it is with a mortar and pestle but I think a food processor makes it faster and easier method when you are running around and if you don’t have one a blender works too.
