I didn't mention challah earlier because it was too obvious to mention.

We have this every shabbat, fall through spring. It couldn't be easier--break the cauliflower into florets, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Bake along with whatever you've got in the oven (from 350-425 degrees) until browned in spots, turning once or twice. If desired, you can sprinkle with grated cheese before serving. So tasty!

I put a slab of salmon over the veggies and then whip some fresh herbs up with a small amount of butter and place the herb-butter mixture on top with a little white wine. I wrap it all up like a package and bake it for 15 minutes and voila - the most delicious, tender, herbaceous salmon and veggies - an entire filling meal in a paper packet. Yum.

They are all centered around legumes and whole grains with the addition of seasonal vegetables and either nuts or seeds. I would have to say that the one that tops the list for my kids is gazpacho made from fresh tomatoes with black beans and fresh corn cut from the cob. When they ask for more I can't help but feel good that they are eating something that not only tastes delicious but also has protein and fiber.

Home made herbal ice cream -- without a doubt. Right now I've already made mint chocolate chip, rose petal, lavender-lemon balm and locust blossom. All the herbs come from my own garden. Well, my husband's garden, but still. Second favorite -- nice fresh watermelon. It's the perfect desert, next to ice cream. Favorite summer time food? Home made herbal ice cream — without a doubt.

The leftovers are good on salad greens too.
