Versatile Vegan Appetizers

I’m excited to roll out two vegan and gluten-free appetizer recipes today—a Sweet Potato Cashew Dip and a Mushroom Pâté. You will no longer miss the traditional cheese ball once you have some delicious replacement treats!

Both of these dishes work perfectly as a dip for raw or roasted vegetables or a spread for crackers or bread. But don’t stop there! These versatile appetizers can also play a bigger role at your holiday table when you serve either or both as a side dish.

Balancing Summer Heat with Cooling Foods

Today’s recipe for Peanut Butter and Cucumber Soup is the perfect remedy for this week’s heat wave hitting the South.

Rick recalls sneaking into the den closet to examine the wrapped presents hidden there. I fondly remember the Hanukkah when I was given my first

Cannellini Summertime

A few days ago my husband, Tom, walked into the kitchen and asked if we had any white beans. I thought What on earth for? and then, more politely, asked, “Why?”

“Thought I’d make some white bean hummus.” He smiled and assured me he’d get it started after golf, despite a 2:00 p.m. tee time. Although he has created some great dishes, this was not going to happen, I knew.

I said, “What if I make it instead?” Ask and ye shall receive! I must say, though, that it
