Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

SCRAMBLED CHICKPEAS AND BROCCOLI SALAD

This recipe is such a treat and so easy to make. The earthy spice of the curry provides more than heat. Naturally antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and healing, curry is said to aid in the relief of arthritic symptoms as well as provide vitamins B6, A, C, and K.
Makes 3–4 servings
Ingredient List: 
6–8 fingerling or new potatoes, unpeeled, cubed, do not peel
Extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 medium red onion, diced
Sea salt
1½ teaspoons curry powder
1 (15-ounce) can or 1½ cups cooked organic chickpeas
¼ cup dry white wine
1 medium stalk fresh broccoli, broken into small florets, stem peeled, diced
Cracked black pepper
Juice of ¼ fresh lemon
Step By Step Instructions: 
Bring a pot of water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Cook potatoes until they can be pierced with a fork, about 5–7 minutes.

Place oil, garlic, and onion in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the onions begins to sizzle, add a pinch of salt and curry powder and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add chickpeas and potatoes and stir to combine. Season lightly with salt and add wine. Cover and simmer 3–5 minutes. Add broccoli, cover, and cook until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice just before serving.
