Spiced Moroccan Vegetables




I have spoken about Susie Fishbein who has written several kosher cookbooks.  She has targeted short cut cooking, holiday cooking, cooking light and several other topics.  The variety of recipes lends itself to finding solutions, no matter when.

 In the past, kosher cookbooks were kind of boring in presentation but Susie has produced a beautiful book, replete with photographs that are not only lovely but show you what the final product can look like. I don't know about anyone else, but I like to know what I am producing and have hints how to make the best presentation. I think every recipe has a photo. 

She has written many books but I think my favorites are the, 'Kosher by Design Lightens Up" and "Kosher by Design Entertains." If I had young children, I am sure I would appreciate the book she wrote for the kiddies, even more. It is wonderful and serves me when my grandchildren are here.
I went through my refrigerator, collected the extra vegetables and then looked into her "lightens book" and found this Moroccan Spiced Vegetables. I did make changes in the vegetables, I used, only because I was stuck with what was in the house.  Fortunately, I had some good choices on hand and used all of them.

    Hi Chaya,

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
