Grilled yellow corn salad with herbs and feta in a blue rimmed bowl

Grilled Corn Salad with Mint and Feta Recipe

By Maureen Abood On July 11, 2014 · 12 Comments · In Salads, Stories and Recipes
The truth is that even though Dan and I are newlyweds, it is summer up north in Michigan. This is where I do most of my work. His work, however, is downstate. So when all of the festivities of wedding and family took their leave this past week, so did he. By the end of [...]

My Sweetless, Meatless March

By Maureen Abood On March 5, 2014 · 13 Comments · In Menus
Easter is late this year. Which means Lent starts late (today). Which means that I have been left far too long out there on my own without this annual tap on the shoulder to stop it already with the constant indulgences. Hey, there were the holidays to celebrate, then an engagement to celebrate (another glass [...]

Thanksgiving Menu Ideas

By Maureen Abood On November 26, 2013 · 15 Comments · In Favorite Things, Stories and Recipes
  Rev up your Dansko clogs, my friends. It’s Thanksgiving game on. I suspect you’ve got the star of the show, your turkey ideas, well in hand (will you brine? Fry? Or just let someone else worry about it?). We are brining and roasting two turkeys, mid-sized (Mom says no smaller than 15 pounds each; [...]

Arugula with Sugared Cranberries & Pancetta. And let’s talk cookbooks.

By Maureen Abood On November 14, 2013 · 11 Comments · In Christmas, Stories and Recipes, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Winter
  As I mentioned recently, I am a cookbookaholic. I love to hear about good cookbooks from anyone who is into them. I sort of assume the same of anyone else who likes to collect, cook from, and gift-give cookbooks. So in honor of the cookbook-buying and giving season ahead—in honor of all of the [...]

Lebanese Cucumber & Tomato Salad with Mint

By Maureen Abood On September 13, 2013 · 26 Comments · In Salads, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian
One of the best things about cucumber and tomato salad with mint is the juice that waits in the bottom of the bowl, ready to be sopped up with thin pita or flatbread. Make the salad an hour or so in advance to let the flavors meld. There are many great Lebanese recipes for salads, [...]

Barley Picnic Salad, and 4th of July in Harbor Springs

By Maureen Abood On July 3, 2013 · 5 Comments · In Grains and Legumes, Salads, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian
The 4th of July picnic menu here on Main Street is always a great topic of discussion in my family, one that entertains us not just in the days leading up to the 4th, but throughout the year. We kick around whether we need a tent, how many hot dogs to buy, which soda is [...]

Father’s Day Menu: Fattoush Wedge Salads with Sumac

By Maureen Abood On June 12, 2013 · 11 Comments · In Stories and Recipes
When I think of a Father’s Day menu, I immediately want hefty food that has plenty of healthy going on too. My own dad liked a big meal, a big bite, and a lotta crunch. Ditto his sons, who will be eating this Father’s Day meal in honor of their own fatherhood, to be sure, [...]

A Valentine’s Day Dinner Menu

By Maureen Abood On February 4, 2013 · 6 Comments · In Menus, Winter
I like to go out on Valentine’s Day for dinner about as much as I like to stay out all night on New Year’s Eve. You’ve got double the number of tables in the house, and “Prix Fixe,” overpriced, molten-chocolate-blah menus churned out one after another, along with the embarrassing sense you are a cliché [...]

A Christmas Eve Menu, with ideas and tips

By Maureen Abood On December 20, 2012 · 12 Comments · In Menus
Somewhere along the line, our Christmas feast shifted from Christmas day to Christmas Eve. Our Eve used to be the seven of us, along with Sitto, Aunt Hilda and everyone’s favorite cousin, Alberta. Hilda liked a screwdriver to kick off the evening, something to soften the edges after all of the output from her kitchen—the [...]
