Food Therapy From Garden Of Eating

Photo: Eve Fox

Let me just get this out there: I’m easy to please.

My family may beg to differ but when it comes to meals,  simpler is always better.  That doesn’t mean I avoid flavor and spice– actually, quite the contrary.  So when I saw Eve Fox’s recipe for Mujadara– a traditional Syrian lentil stew, I knew I had a winner.

I’d love to make it this week and serve it with homemade tzatziki and toasted pita bread.  An easy meal for an easy breezy summer evening.

P.S. Eve offers some great dessert ideas.  Check out this recipe from the archives: Wild Blackberry Sorbet with Garden Mint and Lavender.
