Salty Sweet Roasted Cabbage
Roasting brings out the cabbage's natural sweetness and the mellow flavor is enhanced by the fruity richness of the coconut oil, the salty and the smoky sweetness of the maple syrup. It all adds up to a bit of a West Indian feel.

Zucchini with Spicy Anchovy Butter
We first started serving this sauce years ago, spooned over fat shrimp that had been grilled in their shells over hardwood coals. We'd peel and eat the shrimp, dipping them in the sauce, licking the deliciousness off our fingers. It was so addictive we found ourselves putting more sauce onto the plate so we could mop it up with hunks of warm bread. Why stop at shrimp? Now we spoon it on steamed spinach, roasted beets, or cooked vegetables like these.
Mezzi Rigatoni with Tomatoes, Lots of Herbs, Hot Oil, and Mozzarella
Imagine it's a sunny summer day. You're hungry, so you walk out into the garden, pick ripe tomatoes off the vine, cut a big handful of parsley, mint, basil, chives, maybe some rosemary and a little thyme, then head into the kitchen to make this simple pasta dish. The tomatoes are still warm from the sun, and your hands smell of licorice, pine, and mint. It's already a heady experience and you've only just begun. When you mix the herbs in a bowl with hot olive oil, their fragrance immediately fills the air and the tomatoes release their juices, mingling with the oily goodness in the bowl. The warm pasta goes in, along with some tender fresh mozzarella, and in no time you've satisfied your hunger in a big way. Try it sometime.
Roasted sweet potato Quinoa Salad
A creation we made up one night for dinner when we were running low on food in our kitchen.
Quinoa & Pine Nut Salad
The first time I tasted this salad at a party it had walnuts in place of pine nuts and didn't have the avocado. I made it the original way a couple times but knew that there had to be another nut that would go better. I tried toasted slivered almonds (which was good, but not perfect) then I tried the pine nut AKA Pignolia. The flavors come together wonderfully! I would recommend making this at least a couple hours before you eat it so it can chill.

Addictive Avocado Salsa.
In Austin there are many versions of creamy green salsa served with tacos. Traditionally, jalapeños are blended with oil to create the creamy texture. In my version, avocado replaces oil and lends a new flavor to an old recipe. Next time you make your favorite tacos, serve them with some of this spicy Addictive Avocado Salsa.
Honey Ice Cream
An extremely simple ice cream that showcases the flavor of any honey. Use a strong, high-quality honey; the darker the honey, the stronger the flavor. Due to the viscosity of honey, this ice cream is incredibly smooth and scoops extremely well even after many hours in the freezer.
Frozen Watermelon Margarita
What’s better than an icy cold slice of watermelon on a hot day? An icy cold frozen watermelon margarita! Allow at least 30 minutes to freeze the watermelon. Or, if you want to prepare ahead of time, freeze it for up to 24 hours before you assemble the cocktail.

The sweet and spicy tang of the dressing, and crunch of the jicama is a perfect flavor to satisfy any taste bud during the hot days!

Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocados
In my eyes anything with avocados is a WIN. Don't know what to do about leftovers, stuff it in an avocado, you can't go wrong :) This is an extremely versatile recipe, any leftovers would go GREAT!! Leftover chili? Can of tuna sitting in your pantry? Leftover salad or slaw? Leftover chicken --> chicken salad stuffed avocados. Add some Sriracha to give it a "kick" and you're in for a protein-packed treat! Made with greek yogurt, no mayo, no oil, but lots of great seasoning. The chicken salad included leftover organic roasted chicken I had done the Sunday night before. Feel free to adjust the ingredients, add more veggies, add more spices, add salsa & black beans for a tex-mex version! Endless possibilities! The PICTURE reflects my simple chicken salad made with a greek yogurt dressing, celery, roasted shallots and raisins.
Key Lime Pie Smoothie
This is a modified recipe adapted from a friend of a friend's recipe. The original recipe had more lime zest and lime juice (3-4 limes) but I chose to just add one to please my taste buds. You can certainly add more tartness as you desire but I was happy with just using the zest and juice of one lime. This smoothie was super refreshing and very filling...a great way to start your day with the bursting flavors that will wake you right up...and what a great way to use avocados!

Gabrielle Hamilton's Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
The secret to crispier, faster, better grilled cheese sandwiches? Mayonnaise. "This is the greatest cooking medium of all time for a grilled cheese sandwich," she says. It won't burn as quickly as butter, and it won't stick to the pan, and it browns and crisps more evenly too. From Gabrielle Hamilton of Prune Restaurant, via CHOW.
Orange Avocado Carpaccio
Citrus helps bring out the avocados creaminess and cuts the buttery-ness. Super simple salad! When you DON'T want to wait for your avocados to ripen!!
avocado and egg salad
This avocado and egg salad is a perfect marriage of winter seasonality: ripe avocado and citrus. I first had this salad with a lemon picked off the tree in a backyard in Tel Aviv, an avocado from the Shuk ha Carmel and a creamy hard-boiled egg. Together with some salt and a fork, the ingredients blend together to form a delicious salad, spread, dip, or however you want to eat it. It can be spread on a piece of toast or eaten all by itself. If you really like lemon (as I do), I recommend adding an extra half lemon.
Grilled Avocado
This recipe is a copycat-ish version of a starter they serve at Mattei’s Tavern. It’s a great summer recipe because it’s healthy, it’s fresh and it’s delicious. Mattei’s serves this with fresh wasabi; if you have access to those kinds of riches then please, please share the wealth over my way.
