Steamed Fruit Dumplings – Recipe and Technique

This recipe is a very old favorite of mine. It reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking days and my Sunday visits to her with my mom.
I love these fluffy dumplings because they are so light in texture, and so delicious served with melted butter and sugar.
This recipe dates back to my great-grandmother, who was of German descent, and most likely to her mother and grandmother, which would date back to the 1700s.

Green Goddess Quinoa Salad – Recipe

This Quinoa Salad with Magic Green Sauce became my favorite from the first time my daughter-in-law served it for lunch during one of our visits.

Chickpeas Vinaigrette – Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe

Chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo Beans, are very high in protein. Thus, they are an excellent food choice for vegetarians/vegans and all other healthy eaters.

It is effortless to assemble, and holds well refrigerated for several days.  It is perfect for any occasion, such as party food, a light lunch, or a healthful snack.
