Hash Browns with Quinoa and Chilis
I had breakfast in the Delta Sky Club on my way to New York and had this Hash Browns with Quinoa and Chilis. It was so good that I thought I would post the recipe. You could make it as crispy as you like. It's very healthy and delicious.

Cherry Tomato Confit
Confit comes from the French word confire which means literally "to preserve," a confit being any type of food that is cooked slowly over a long period of time as a method of preservation. You can serve this Cherry Tomato Confit, and the flavorful oil, on bruschetta, in a pasta toss, on pizza, in sandwiches, as a steak topper, or in a whole-grain bowl.

Potato Gnocchi
My friend Melanie and her sister Donna invited me to dinner last night to make homemade Gnocchi, which are delicate, pillowy potato dumplings. Their Italian grandmother taught them how to make these wonderful delicious gnocchi. There is a bit of a "technique" to master, but once you get the hang of it, they are easy and fun to make. You can serve with many ways. They served this with simple marinara sauce and freshly grated Parmesan.

Cucumber & Radish Salad in a Yogurt Dressing
This Cucumber & Radish Salad in a Yogurt Dressing is light and refreshing. Crunchy slices of cucumbers and sharp pungent radishes and a winning combination. Radishes have many health benefits. The one that interests me most is that they contain compounds that help purge cancer-causing substances and prevent the development of tumors. The crunchy detoxifiers are thought to help protect the body against colon, kidney, intestinal, stomach and oral cancer, in particular.

Black Bean Soup
My daughter made this Black Bean Soup from Bon Appétit's Basically series. In this recipe, you don't have to soak your dried beans overnight. The magic is all in the garnishes. Whether you're meal prepping for the week or having people over for a casual dinner, a bunch of toppings—something crunchy, something creamy, something fresh and herby, elevates this humble bowl of beans feel like a party.

Artichoke Spinach Quiche With Cheesy Hash Brown Crust
I was waiting for my husband and my mother who were flying in from New York and their plane was diverted and delayed for about 4 hours. So I made this Artichoke Spinach Quiche With Cheesy Hash Brown Crust for when they got here. It's a great because it can be made ahead. This is the 4th quiche I have used this hash brown crust recipe. I will come clean and tell you that I bought frozen shredded potatoes! I am way to lazy to shred my own. Also, this curst actually has cheese in it! So this makes it gluten-free. Anyway, I love this quiche which has Boursin (an herbed cheese) in the filling.
