It was my turn to choose an ingredient of the week, and I picked "avocado" because I'd clipped a recipe from Food and Wine magazine that I really wanted to try: roasted tomatillo and avocado salsa. I'm growing tomatillos in...

Sunday Salads: Tortellini Salad
I can't believe we've reached the end of Slow Salads. We finished up with a great recipe submitted by Ida (Vico Girl on Slow Talk). I only made half of this recipe since it sounded like it made a ton....
Sunday Salads: Southern Mustard Potato Salad
When I read this weekend's recipe, it was an instant blast of nostalgia. Actually, Bugalu of the blog Whistlestop Cafe Cooking gave us two different potato salad recipes, but it was the first one that made me nostalgic since it's...

This weekend, it was my turn to submit a recipe to the Salad Samplers gang, and I really didn't have to think about it very long. This is one of my favorite salads. I found the recipe on the Internet...

This weekend's recipe came from Maria of My Place in the Sun. Maria gave us a recipe for Thai Beef Salad (Yam Neua) that also included a shrimp variation, so that's what I made. What a great salad! I followed...

This week's recipe came from Cindy Ruth of Baked Alaska. The actual recipe she gave us was for "Grilled Romaine Salad with Citrus Caesar Vinaigrette" but I ended up switching the main ingredient. It's gotten hot here in NC -...
Sunday Salads: Shrimp Salad
This week's recipe came from Jan of Keep Your Feet in the Street. She said that her salad is "simple, summery, and good" and that's a perfect description. I enjoyed this one a lot and it couldn't be easier to...
Dandelion Greens
There are many "green" reasons for eating seasonally and buying locally but on top of all that, it's simply a fun way to eat. It's exciting to have the first asparagus or strawberries of the year, and I tend...

Sunday Salads: Salad Nicoise
This Sunday's recipe for "Grilled Tuna Salad Nicoise" was contributed by Slow Traveler Debrah. I like tuna in a can and love raw tuna in sushi, but I'm not that crazy about grilled tuna so I substituted some marinated beans...
Sunday Salads: Thai Chicken Salad
This recipe came from Jerry who has an excellent blog, Jerry's Thoughts, Musings, and Rants. What a great salad with tons of flavor and spice! I followed Jerry's advice and roasted the chicken and made the dressing on one night,...

This recipe came from Amy of Destination Anywhere and wow, it's an amazing salad. I'd never had raw asparagus before and it is seriously good. I have to admit that I paused at the thought of peeling a bunch of...

This recipe came from Slow Talk moderator Judy (Tour Mama) who selected it in honor of Cinco de Mayo. It's quick and easy (if you use canned black beans) and very tasty. The recipe makes a ton so you might...

This recipe came from Slow Traveler Debrah, and it's a perfect spring time soup. It couldn't be easier to make either. I love the spicy kick the ginger gives to this soup. I garnished it with some plain yogurt and...
Winter Minestrone
I'm off schedule again with the Slow Souping; this minestrone was last weekend's soup but when we had an unusually early burst of warm weather, I didn't want to spend so much time in the kitchen. But now the...
Slow Soupers: Lentil Soup
This recipe came from Kim of What I Really Think. Actually it's Kim's mother's recipe, and it's a good one. All bean soups are great but lentil soup is particularly easy because you don't have to soak the lentils first,...

Slow Soupers: Baked Potato Soup
This recipe came from slow traveler Anneo123 from Louisiana. It seems that anything made with potatoes is comfort food, and this soup was no exception. It was perfect for a cold winter night. It's very easy to make and didn't...
Sunday Soupers: Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Now I'm backtracking to a soup I missed in December when I was in Venice. I love butternut squash and it's readily available at my farmer's market right now, so I decided to go for it. Last fall, I made...
Sunday Slow Soupers: Seafood Gumbo
Well, my train has left the Slow Soup track! I jumped ahead and made the split pea soup when it snowed, so now I'm back-tracking to last week's soup, this gumbo. Actually it all works out fine because I'm happy...
Sunday Slow Soupers: Split Pea and Green Pea Soup
Another wonderful recipe! This one came from MarciaB of Happy Trails to Us. I jumped ahead on the souping schedule and made this one on Inauguration Day which was also a Snow Day here in the Tar Heel state. I...

I missed a few Sundays of souping when I was in Italy so now I'm catching up. This recipe is a winner! I've had this soup in restaurants and from cans but had never made it myself. Easy and...
SSS Week Two: Mexican (Turkey) Soup
This recipe came from Jerry, who very thoughtfully wanted to help us use our leftover turkey. But I didn't have any! So I subbed a can of red kidney beans, and you know what...it worked! Great recipe. The avocado...
SSS Week One: Porcini and Chestnut Soup
Many thanks to Amy for getting the Sunday SlowSoupers off to a great start! This soup is absolutely delicious – I really loved it. I had good intentions of freezing some of it for the holidays but no, I...
Peach Sherbet
This is the latest variation of the Buttermilk Sherbet recipe, and I think it might be the best one yet. I was lucky to find some perfectly sweet peaches at the farmer’s market. Peach Sherbet 2 cups sliced peeled...
Blackberry Sherbet and Lemon Yogurt Sorbet
First came the Strawberry Buttermilk sherbet recipe, then I made it again with fresh blackberries that I bought at the farmer's market. Delicious! It looked a bit more purple in real life - this photo looks more red. But...
Strawberry Buttermilk Sherbet
I enjoy reading all the food/recipe posts on other Slow Travelers' blogs so I thought I’d contribute one too. This sherbet is so delicious and very easy to make (the recipe came from Southern Living magazine). It was my first...
