Lovely Legumes: Lentil & Kale Salad

May 6, 2021 by Nicole Coudal

Legumes are in the vegetable family, with common members being chickpeas, black/red/kidney beans, green beans, black-eyed peas, soybeans and lentils. They’re called ‘powerhouse foods,’ with lentils being especially well-regarded. Nutrition-wise, lentils are an excellent source of protein, loaded with potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and fiber, and a great resource for vegetarians, or folks sensitive to gluten.  They’re…

Panzanella with Peaches, Mint & Cucumber

July 31, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

Like many, I’ve been organizing drawers and closets lately – I guess it’s what we do when we have extra time on our hands, and are trying to regain some sense of control in our lives, in spite of uncontrollable circumstances. . . While sifting through photos, I came across these: I remember the day…

Chopped Salad with Mango & Basil Dressing

June 26, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

It’s peak mango season in Florida, which means backyard trees are dripping with fruit, and grocery store bins are filled to the rims.

Vintage Seafoam Salad

May 22, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

Summer is on its way and we’re feeling the heat here in Florida.  To cool things down, I decided to make a dish that’s not only refreshing, but easy.  It even jiggles.  Yes, it’s a Jello-O® salad! Jell-O has its origins in gelatin (around since the 15th century), but I recently learned that the sweet, dessert…

Summer Crab Salad

August 1, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Summer is in full swing — a great time to make a dish that’s not only tasty, but also, easy to transport to beach, pool, or picnic.  So when the folks at Edible Sarasota asked me to create a crab recipe for their Summer issue, I decided on a salad, but one that’s a little different…

Pasta Salad with Basil & Mint Pesto

May 23, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Chickpea Pasta

I adore pasta.  It’s one of my weaknesses. To me, nothing screams comfort food more than a warm bowl of pasta with a big spoon.  When paired with a rich/savory sauce or slathered in butter and salt, it just makes me happy.  Fortunately I don’t have a diagnosed condition that forces me to stay away from…

Fishing friends gave me a beautiful piece of Wahoo this week, so I quickly put it into action.  It’s one of my (and hubby’s) faves. If you’ve never had Wahoo, PLEASE put it on your list of fish to try at a restaurant or fish market.  It’s sort of like Swordfish – white, flaky, sweet,…

Winter has a way of bringing a bit of gloominess to our homes, especially if we live in an area where clouds shield us from the sun for days and days and the weather seems to be assaulting us from all angles.  Here in Florida, you may be surprised to learn that it’s not always…
