The Best After School Cheesy Popcorn Ever
This savory popcorn is a go-to in my house whenever we head to the movies. No way are the kiddos eating theater popcorn when this cheesy, salty, and buttery version exists. No one complains—it’s that good. Everyone gets their own little bag, which makes it extra fun.
Bean-Free Zucchini Hummus
Zucchini’s are still in full swing here in Southern California and are abundant at our farmer’s markets. I truly love the classic hummus but because of my bean intolerance, I wind up bloated each and every time. This bean-free version hits the spot. My kids who love traditional hummus, love this and I recently made it for some girlfriends and had wonderful responses. I learned a version of this years ago in the catering kitchen and I am bringing it back now. I can’t remember if it was Akasha or Darra who first taught me a zucchini could fill the place of garbanzo beans. This dip is perfect with sliced veggies and crackers of choice.

Cold Korean Inspired Noodle Salad with Creamy Dressing
In my little town of Ojai, we have a fabulous restaurant called Rory’s Place, a fine dining experience and next door is Rory’s Other Place, with more casual fair. Every Friday night they have been doing a fun, casual pop-up and one night my new friend Euni, a wonderful chef and farmer, who’s expertise is Korean food, featured her delicious creations.
Arugula and Strawberry Salad with Pumpkin Seeds and Lemon Vinaigrette
This salad was first featured in my 2009 cookbook, Easy Green Organic, so it is tried and true. Although arugula is a peppery lettuce, it's a versatile one. In Italy it is often eaten with endive and radicchio or tossed into a fresh pasta. And one of my absolute favorites.
