Butternut Squash Curry
I am not sure how something so simple with so few ingredients can be as delicious as this curry dish is. This is a complete meal on its own with the addition of a starch if you want, but if you are not so much into a completely vegetarian meal, I think this curry would be a wonderful accompaniment to a simple chicken breast, or even add some cooked shredded chicken right into this curry.
Vegan Chickpea & Quinoa Burgers
I made these vegan burgers the other day & they are quite good, even my meat-loving son ate them!
Chicken breasts with Za’atar, Chickpeas & Tomatoes

Hummus & Baked Pita Chips
There are so many recipes for Hummus & so many options to buy it ready-made in the grocery stores. But..I like making it myself. It is fast, easy & I can have it on a whim. I started making my own over 25 years ago and have come up with a recipe that we love. Lemony & smooth.If you don’t like yours lemony, just add the lemon juice gradually and taste as you go! Eat it with pita, fresh or baked, crackers, vegetables, on toast or just with a spoon! I toasted some pita in the oven which I had frozen when we had too much one time and it is great!
Here is my recipe for Hummus
Hummus
Ingredients
1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed *** some people peel them to get a smoother hummus but I never want to spend the time doing that!
1 tsp garlic paste ***or 1 clove of garlic minced
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice *** juice from a whole smallish lemon
1 tsp Kosher salt ***regular table salt is fine
4 Tbsp olive oil
3 heaping tbsp Tahini paste
2 Tbsp water
Method
- Put the chickpeas in a food processor and process until they are smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides *** be careful not to cut the spatula on the blade..I have done that many times!
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Serve in a bowl with a bit of olive oil drizzled on top if you would like!
Baked Pita Chips
Preheat oven to 400F ***I just turned my oven on while I was preparing the pitas, so it wasn’t quite at 400 degrees yet
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper
Ingredients
I pkg of large pita pockets
olive oil
kosher salt
dried parsley
Method
- Split pitas in half
- Using a pastry brush, brush on some olive oil all over the inside part of the spit pitas
- Sprinkle with kosher salt & any herbs you might like. I like house salt only & some dried partly flakes
- Cut the pitas in triangles…cut in half then half again…or once more to make smaller triangles if you prefer
- Place the triangles on a lined baking sheet, not layered. & put into the oven
- Check after 5 minutes and keep your eye on them as they can burn quickly.
