Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Spinach

2 heads cauliflower
1 TBL olive oil or coconut oil
2 onions, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, sliced
*
1 quart chicken broth (preferably homemade)
1 tsp salt, or to taste
4 C baby spinach

  1. Remove large green leaves from both of the cauliflowers. With a paring knife, remove the cores. Rinse under running water and set aside.
  2. In a large pressure cooker, heat the oil and sauté onions and garlic over medium heat. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. To the pot add both cauliflower (whole is fine), seal the lid and bring to high pressure for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and bring pressure down by holding closed pot under cold running water (quick release method). Once the pressure valve is down, open lid away from you. 
  4. With a sharp knife cut up the cauliflower in large pieces while it is in the pot. Add the chicken broth and salt to taste. 
  5. Purée the cauliflower in the pot with a hand-held immersion blender. Add spinach and allow to wilt in the hot soup before serving.

Easter Babies (Croatian Easter Bread Dolls)

  Easter Babies                                                     ******* Makes 12 Easter Babies These Easter Babies (Croatian Easter bread dolls a.k.a.   primorski uskrsne bebe )  are a new tradition in our family. The egg dying, dough mixing and braiding is so fun for children and grownups—it’s contagious. Traditionally, they are made with red-dyed eggs, but we use the colors we already have dyed. They make sweet gifts and they also look charming laying next to each Easter dinner plate.  This lady  uses naturally dyed eggs for her Easter babies. If you're already making  challa bread , use extra challa dough for these babies (simply make enough dough for 2 loaves, only bake one challa, and use the remaining dough for the Easter Babies).

Sprouts Foo Young

Sprouts Foo Young ******* For each pancake:   2 eggs Grapeseed oil or ghee 1 C sprouts (alfalfa, sunflower, mung bean) 1 small clove garlic, minced ¼ C chopped green onion tops 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (or pinch of ground ginger) ½ to 1 tsp Braggs amino sauce (like soy sauce) Optional:  add shrimp or fresh crab meat to step #1 Add a bit of oil in a small skillet.  Over medium heat sautee garlic, ginger and green onion tops.  Do not brown the garlic—that will make it bitter. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk eggs until light and fluffy.  Whisk in Braggs. When garlic is fragrant, add a bit more oil, then add sprouts, give them a stir or two (to mix with garlic, etc.), and pour egg over all.  Cook like an omelette, or flip like a pancake to brown on both sides.

Challa Bread

Challa Bread *******  Makes 2 loaves My neighbor, Bonnie, grew up with a Jewish friend and learned to love their family traditions, songs and the Hebrew language. Every Sunday she taught our Mormon young women a lot about the Hebrew alphabet and about many Jewish traditions (I was a teacher in Young Women so I got to hear her lessons). Even though she didn't talk about food, her lessons gave me the nudge to learn how to make something I'd always wanted to try . . . challa bread.  Check out h ow to braid a six-strand challa .
