Recipe by Dena: Oatmeal, Not Just for Breakfast Anymore
Oatmeal, a true super food:
My father always told me, “Oatmeal should not be the consistency of snot!” When I was a little girl, my father made oatmeal every morning with this family recipe that’s been with us for at least 3 generations. Now it’s my turn to share it with my family, and with you.
Oats are a great way to start your day or even as a light dinner.

Spanish Rice with Variations
Spanish rice doesn’t refer to a particular type of rice. It’s a cooking method.

Summer Beet Borscht
Today Leah shares her recipe for cold summer beet soup, known as borscht. Of course, it can also be served hot. When she served the soup hot, my mother added cooked potatoes that she always seemed to have around. For cold borscht she added yogurt or sour cream.

Recipe: Summer Fruit Cooked in the Microwave
Cooking it up in the microwave is my favorite way to enjoy summer fruit that has passed its peak. The pan doesn’t scorch and the color stays bright. You can make one type of fruit or use a combination.
