now: Mark Bittman of the New York Times has his version and Loveland readers Julie and Dale Alexander have theirs, too. “After moving to Loveland from Illinois last year, we found we really missed our Sunday morning breakfast place, Benedict’s in East Dundee, Ill. One of our favorites was the Frittata OlĂŠ. “We adapted a frittata recipe from Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa, as a basis for our version of Frittata OlĂŠ. This is great for Sunday brunch with a Bloody Mary!â€? 3

For Shari Weber, Anderson Township, and several others. “Something’s different in there and it’s so good,� she told me about this Anderson Township eatery. Well, after Trew, kitchen manager/chef got the OK to share this, turns out the “secret� could either be the celery seed or the restaurant’s own from-scratch mayo. “We want to serve our customers the best homemade food,� John Broshar, co-owner told me. Worth a visit for this alone or their new Caribbean slaw. 2 pounds shredded green cabbage About 2 cups shredded carrots 1 medium onion, diced fine Diced bell peppers, red and green 2 tablespoons celery seed 4 cups real mayonaise 1 ⠄2 cup cider vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar Salt
Delicious drinks that lower blood pressure
Water (you knew that, right?), hibiscus tea (most herb teas contain hibiscus), grape juice. Careful with energy drinks – check caffeine content, which can elevate blood pressure. Pucker up: A squeeze of lemon juice in your first glass of water helps form and repair collagen, is a gentle liver cleanser, and is great for your immune system and stress. Plus, the vitamin C helps your body absorb iron better.

1. Zucchini: Leave peel on if you like (I like). When packing for freezer, put more shredded zucchini in the container than you think you’ll need. When thawing, push out excess liquid if using in baked goods. That way you’ll get enough. 2. Don’t overmix bread batter! That includes zucchini, banana or other quick bread batter! Remember, it’s a “quick bread� batter and that means to stir wet ingredients into dry very gently until moistened. Overmixing makes for a dense, sometimes gooey, bread with “tunnels.�
Mix veggies together. Mix celery seed, mayo, vinegar and sugar. Pour over veggies. Adjust seasonings.

When we plant our vegetable garden, it seems like forever before it s t a r t s bearing. Then all of a sudden, I’m inundated with cucumRita bers, zucHeikenfeld chinis and Rita’s kitchen tomatoes. Then the corn comes on and we’re eating corn every night. I’m not complaining; in fact, I feel more than blessed. But the thing is I need to clone myself just like I clone recipes for you. Anybody got ideas how to do that? Oh, and by the way, if you do figure out a way to clone me, I’ve got a few changes I’d like to make.
