Roberta’s Roasted Squash Soup
Fall is a great time for soup. It’s comforting, filling, and takes the chill off. Squash is often on sale and is always in my biweekly produce box so I put it to good use. This soup is hearty and spicy. There are hints of middle eastern flavors and toppings that add texture. The…

Easy Avocado Toast 🥑🍅🥑🍅
Avocados are included in my quarantine staple list. At least once a week I indulge in avocado toast and a big green avocado-banana smoothie, but not on the same days. Don’t be intimidated by the fancy avocado toast that can cost up to $20. Below is an easy, filling breakfast or lunch that you…

Roberta Roasts: Easy EGGPLANT 🍆
Eggplants aren’t just emojis! Nor or they just veggies you bread and cover with sauce. Recently I saw some big gorgeous eggplants on SALE in the grocery store and I quickly bought 2, without having the slightest idea what I was planning on preparing.

Koh Sumoi, Thailand Last spring while in Thailand I sampled, then obtained some gorgeously spicy peppers. When I say obtained – I mean I stole them right off the plate the waiter gave me. He had just picked them off of the growing bushes that surrounded the inside of the veranda I was seated…

Roasted Beet “Candy”
Literally 3 ingredients. A lunch dish or a side piece these beets will have you beating with a new drum. Historically I’ve never been a fan of beets, my father prepared them from a can, boiled and thickened with flour. Horrific. As an adult I thought they tasted like dirt, while not entirely untrue – that earthy…

Spring Roll #formation
Preparing Asian inspired food intimidates me, but I love it. Spring rolls are near the top of the list, prepared in any way but very specifically when eaten raw, they leave a fresh and light feeling of fullness. Depending on the ingredients used you can really focus on the flavors and not the packaging. Obviously I…

Arugula: Roberta’s first “harvest”
The Roberta Show’s first “harvest”. Clean eating at it’s finest. Arugula is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins A, C (for the immune system), and K (bone strength). (Added bonuses folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and manganese.) I planted a pack of $1.89 Arugula seeds on May 5th. By July 5th here’s what happened. …

Edamame – the Super Soy Green Bean
Everyone knows I’m a direct advocate of sushi and all the health benefits it has, but today I’d like to focus on a well known before thought to the Asian culture – Edamame. Edamame (Beans on Branches) is just a fancy name for soy bean. A green pod bean that’s often served as an…
