pozole

Mexican Pozole: Pork and Hominy Stew

A traditional dish in Mexico, pozole is often served on Thursdays and Saturdays as well as on Christmas Eve. The dish is more like a rich brothy soup rather than a stew. Top it with everything from shredded cabbage and radishes to cilantro, limes, and avocado.

marinara sauce

Mary’s Go-To Marinara Sauce

Homemade classic marinara sauce is so easy to make. My version is perfect for a quick pasta topping or as part of another recipe like eggplant parmigiana or lasagna. The secret to making the perfect marinara sauce is the tomatoes. You must use whole San Marzano tomatoes. No substitutes!

bumbleberry pie

Bumbleberry Pie with Blueberries, Blackberries and Raspberries

One of my favorite summertime pies is “bumbleberry pie.” Although an actual bumbleberry does not exist, the bumbleberry pie sure does. Basically, a bumbleberry pie is fruit pie made with at least three different berries: I like to use blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries but feel free to throw some strawberries into the mix as well. And if it’s cherry season, pit a few fresh cherries and throw those into your bumble of mixed berries.

Mary’s Spicy Watermelon Feta Summer Salad

You can prepare the ingredients for this spicy watermelon salad ahead of time, but don’t toss them together until you are ready to serve it. Simply dice or chop the cucumber, onion, jalapeño and so on and keep them in separate containers or food storage bags until ready to toss.

ceviche

Salads + Sides: Summer Vegetable and Fruit Vegan Ceviche

This raw vegetable salad is a delicious meat-free take on the classic seafood ceviche. The traditional fresh fish or shrimp are replaced with raw vegetables and fruit, tossed in lime juice and olive oil and “marinated” for an hour before serving. The colors in this dish are amazing. It’s one of those recipes that is visually stunning as well as delicious.
