Just when I have the perfect olive oil! Thank you. I was running out of new salad ideas, but I love radishes and cucumbers. They always just get tossed into the salad, but I love the idea of actually building a salad around them. This one will get made right away.

Aleta,
Went to Sigona’s this AM and have made the salad. It is marinating in that wonderful dressing. Sliced kale very thin, massaged dressing into it and YUM… even before the waiting period, it tastes wonderful. They didn’t have sunflower sprouts so I used pea shoots. This looks great and can hardly wait to present to my family during – what else – a football game!

Many thanks.

p.s. Am also making your wonderful shortbread cookies. After cooking I freeze them and when we just need a little something, they are there. My husband is wild over them!

Love it! Thanks for inspiring others out there to be tantalized by a version of New Leaf’s Own Coastal Kale Salad. A house favorite for sure – enjoy!

I too love my pressure cooker and use it a lot. You might enjoy the site Hip Pressure Cooking and books by Lorna Sass. I’ve learned so much from both of them- risotto, pasta with sauce- no joking the flavor really penetrates, and on and on.

Your timing is perfect! Dale pulled a split pea recipe out of the newspaper this week for us. I like this much better than the one he found! Didn’t even know he LIKED split pea soup!

We made cheese straws for Christmas. Bought a cookie press and managed not to break it the first time out.

I’ve been saving the syrup from cooking cranberries, and was thinking it would make a fine cosmo – I’ll just leave out the simple syrup. And I do believe I’ll have a hand at those crackers too this week. Mmmmm! Your recipes are wonderful, Aleta!

Comment on Spicy soup soothes the soul by Cheryl S.

It appears that the squash is not pureed and incorporated into the other ingredients but eaten as chunks. I am in the middle of making this recipe now and how to check back to this recipe because I was baffled as to what was being done to the squash once it was steamed. It just looks, from this photo that it is eaten in chunks and not pureed like I thought!
I don’t think that the soup would get the full flavor of the squash unless it was pureed which, is what I am about to do.
Also, I’m going to add some lump crab meat to the finished soup to give it an additional flavor profile. I think it will enhance the finished product.
