    Nice! Congrats on your green thumb. :) I've seen long beans at the Urbana farmer's market but haven't tried them yet. I do love the "Tuscan beans" that Blue Moon Farm has. Anyway, maybe we'll see what you do with these beans in the near future?!

      I'll look for "Tuscan beans", thanks for the tip, Lisa. Also, see today's blog post for use of those Asian Long Beans!

    Faye.... I have never tasted these Asian long beans, but I love your photo. I am wondering about the flavor. Are they similar to string beans or ?

Homemade Hummus

 Dear Readers, I hope a few of you are still connected. It would be nice to hear from you.  Today, I finished an easy homemade hummus recipe. Hummus--anything made from beans or peas--is by nature not low carb. However, in moderation it is a wonderful addition to the diet.  https://www.inspiredtaste.net/15938/easy-and-smooth-hummus-recipe / My version looks similar to the one with the recipe's post. It is mild for February in Champaign.  Hope you are able to enjoy the day. Happy eating! Faye

Cold soft tofu dish

Image
 Hello, I hope you are staying cool during what, at least in Champaign, is hot weather.  Today, I prepared a cold dish made with silken soft tofu, 3 scallions finely sliced, 1/2 teaspoon (or so) of toasted sesame oil, and a tablespoon of soy sauce (can use coconut amino if you don't use soy.)  I added toasted sesame seeds, listed as optional. You may add other ingredients but the basic recipe was delicious. Refrigerate or eat right away. One thing to keep in mind is that, apparently, silken tofu crumbles easily. I look forward to eating this dish as part of tomorrow's Shabbos lunch. Take care and stay well. Faye

Odd combination?

Thank you for your patience. Food choices of late have not inspired me to post. Tonight begins Shavuot . It is customary to eat dairy foods on this holiday. Thus post's photo features gluten free pizza and a slice of cheesecake. Salad was also part of the meal.  The pizza basically covered my carb portion of the evening. I only had a nimble of cheesecake as I don't think it is gluten free or low carb. However, for tradition, why not?  Happy Shavuot! I hope you are well. Please continue to be careful out there even though some of the COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted. To your good health!
