Salad:
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 2 heaping teaspoons cumin & chili powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 (14 oz) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 2 heads of romaine lettuce, chopped
- tortilla corn chips
Dressing:
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup cilantro leaves (or more)
- 2 small cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- a splash of lime juice
Instructions:
Peel the potatoes and chop into bite-sized pieces and place on large tray lined with parchment paper. Mix the olive oil, cumin, and chili powder together. Drizzle over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes, stir. Turn oven up to 425 and bake for 10-15 more minutes, or until potatoes are barely roasted brown (or as desired).
Meanwhile, pulse the dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Toss the beans, corn, lettuce, and sweet potatoes in a big bowl, and serve with the avocado dressing and tortilla chips. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy! 🙂

A Sabbath Favorite!
- 5+ cups whole wheat flour
- 2 Tbs yeast
- 1 Tbs salt
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4-1/2 cup honey
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 3 eggs, beaten
Stir 3 cups of flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add remaining ingredients. Mix, adding flour as needed. When the dough is difficult to stir, start kneading. Continue for 8 minutes, adding flour (or greasing hands with olive oil) as needed to keep the dough from sticking.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Shape the flattened dough into into 2 loaves. (I like to braid mine)
Let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Brush the challah with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic and salt. Bake for 25-30 minutes (I do 19 minutes in a convection oven). Serve warm or cooled. Enjoy! 🙂

Here is a quick, healthy, delicious, and easily adaptable vegetarian lunch!
Ingredients:
- 1 (15 oz) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 Tbsp each of mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, and mustard (or some combination to make a 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 tsp each of cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder (or whatever spices you’d like!)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber
- 1/4 cup diced tomato
- 2 Tbs finely chopped celery
Directions:
In a small bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork until partly pasty.

Blend in the liquids (whatever combination you want).

Add the rest of the ingredients. Adjust the seasonings to taste. I garnish with extra chili powder.

Excellent on pita chips or in pitas (or gluten free creacker) with lettuce or avocado, but any bread will do! You can be creative with this recipe, but I love this combination! 🙂
