Moroccan Orange Salad
Bright and zesty, this version of a traditional North African salad is
great when more traditional salad ingredients are out of season.

Roasted Baby Beets and Turnips with Mint-Garlic Yogurt
Roasted root vegetables served with yogurt are a comfort food
throughout the Fertile Crescent.


Mushroom-Celeriac Pecan Pate
This versatile, light, and savory vegan pate works with bread,
crackers, or crudités, and makes a great sandwich filling. It is also
delicious thinned with some of the pasta cooking water and tossed with
hot pasta as a pesto. This recipe makes enough for several meals.


Braised Red Cabbage with Apple and Mustard
A twist on a traditional Mennonite method of cooking the old faithfuls
of winter produce. This holds well, so make enough for lunch the next day.

What to do with that leftover Ham

Ham & Egg Pie
a hearty brunch or dinner

2 cups cooked ham
6 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup chopped celery
2 - 3 cups milk***
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 - 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped

Pre- heat oven 400 degrees.
Brown celery & onion in butter. Blend in flour & cook for at least 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring to incorporate. Season & fold in cubed ham & chopped eggs. Place in casserole & cover with biscuits. Bake in pre-heated oven 30 minutes or until crust is thoroughly baked & golden brown.
*** Start with 2 cups of milk. Continue adding until sauce is thick, yet pourable.

Enjoy!
