Love, love garbanzo beans! That’s a good thing because when the shelves were almost empty last week, I snagged several bags of them. If you want a new way to prepare garbanzo beans (also called chickpeas) try my Braised Garbanzo Beans with Lemon.

Combine 2 cans (3 cups) of garbanzo beans with 1/2 cup sautéed onions, 1/4 cup capers, 1/4 cup kalamata olives, rosemary, red pepper flakes and 1/2 sliced lemon. Stir in 1/3 cup olive oil, cover and roast at 375 for 35 minutes. Stir in 4 cups of greens (I use spinach), cover and roast for 10 more minutes. Serve it over crusty bread or polenta.

You can find the full recipe on lifeintheboat.com.

Dear Bud (Werner Library), I know that our relatio

Dear Bud (Werner Library), I know that our relationship has been off and on again as I have been traveling. Still, it’s been so long since we’ve been together. I miss you!

Lately I’ve found myself strolling by, pretending to walk my dog, but what I really want is to see if someone’s home. I know that you can’t invite me in due to circumstances, but still I long for the earthy smell of your books and the memory of their companionship. I miss the warmth and generosity of your Bud Werner family. I miss the gatherings that you would host and the fascinating, thoughtful people that surround you. Everyone is made better because you are a part of our community.

Perhaps now is the time to confess that I have taken something to remember you by. Last time we were together I borrowed some of your treasures. I think that I will hold onto them until you return. Just know that they will be cared for (and read) until I can lovingly hand them back to you.

Take care good friend- I hope to see you soon. Karen

In honor of Earth Day I’m sharing some photos that I took in early March ( before the craziness) while visiting Bryce National Park with my high school friends Sharlene and Rita. So much to be thankful for and celebrate!

Avocado 🥑 Lime Deviled Eggs! Check out my attempt at stop- motion videography. All you need is 1/2 dozen hard cooked eggs, 1 avocado (a healthy replacement for mayo) juice of 1 lime and seasonings. You can find the full recipe on lifeintheboat.com.

This was one of the favorite recipes from the Mediterranean cooking class that I taught with @kathyyeisercpt at the @oldtownhotsprings in early March. Just a few ingredients and in only 30 minutes you have a delicious eggs-for-dinner meal. Sauté a chopped onion with chopped red pepper in a little olive oil. Add some garlic, cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes and large can of crushed tomatoes. Place eggs in the sauce and bake for a 12 minutes @400 degrees. Get the full recipe on lifeintheboat.com
