Grilled Eggplant with Lemon and Garlic
My Great Aunt, Vangelica, who we always called Lella Ginda, made an eggplant dish similar to this one. She dusted eggplant slices with flour and fried them and then layered them with great amounts of lemon and garlic. I always loved it and have made it several times. This time I took the eggplant out of the frying pan and on to the grill ...
Grilled Dalmatian Asparagus Tips
No frills or fancy ingredients, just a simple "Dalmatian" seasoning of coarse salt, freshly cracked pepper and olive oil rubbed all over.

sauteed brussels sprouts without a recipe
I know it's Spring, but there were some beautiful organic brussels sprouts in the market which I couldn't pass up. But, since it *is* Spring, I didn't want to roast them as a winter vegetable. I decided to stir-fry them as I would any spring vegetable, with some olive oil and a little spice. Quartering the sprouts results in lots of loose leaves which crisp up beautifully while the centers get silky. The whole thing took 15 minutes to whip up and was completely gobbled up in 2 by the twin teens. I used a half pound of Brussels sprouts, you can use as much as you want to feed more people!
Wild Pilaf with Lemony Spruce Tips and Pine Nuts
The wild in this recipe isnt from wild rice, its comes from the lemony spruce tips, that pair beautifully with toasted nuts, such as pine nuts or pistachios. They add flavor and sparkle to your basic side dish. Adapted from Chef Mads Refslund, co-founder of NOMA.

A Piece-a Pizza Corn!
This is sort of a silly recipe, but a fun way to use the corn which we will no doubt be up to our ears in within the next couple of months (pun 100% intended). The proportions can easily be adjusted to your liking. The finished product is ultimately an interplay of sweet corn, tangy tomato, and salty cheese - and tastes almost like a piece of pizza!

A light, fresh soup with minimal ingredients. A splash of cider and perfume from lemongrass (or just a squeeze of lemon) make this a bowl of sunshine. Serve with Sriracha for those who want to add a little heat.
Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk
It's easy to hop out to the store and buy a can of Sweetened Condensed Milk, but I prefer to make my own recipe. It takes a couple of (mostly hands-off) hours.
