Dedicated to my Dad on his birthday

 

This post is dedicated to my Dad, of blessed memory, as today is his birthday.  

As my brother Barry noted, today our dad would have been 99 years old.  He died a little over 10 years ago between the Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.  He enjoyed a good meal including dessert.  While I think he might have preferred my mixed fruit dish of blueberries and raspberries topped with ice cream, he would have appreciated my effort at a low-carb diet and that the dish is instead topped with ricotta cheese (as shown in today's featured photo).  

I hope you are having a nice weekend.

    I can verify this was delicious, by the way!

    Happy belated birthday to your dad, Faye. My dad also appreciated a good dessert! Especially anything involving cream.

    Speaking of ricotta, FYI, I got Kite Hill brand almond-milk ricotta at the co-op last week, and I thought it was delicious. It is expensive, but I don’t buy it too often and since I avoid dairy products, to me, it’s worth the price. I used all of it in savory dishes; next time I’ll have to try it with fruit. I might sweeten it with a little maple syrup when I do that. :)

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!
