This sauce is best when fresh, which is why the recipe is for a small amount. Use it on Mixed Vegetables and Rice, or with 2-4 cups of your favorite steamed vegetable and rice, quinoa or millet. We much prefer using fresh roasted nuts for flavor and nutritional value. Recent research has found that nuts…
Radish and Cream Cheese Sandwich
One year when we had grown more radishes than we could eat, a friend from Switzerland suggested radish and cream cheese sandwiches. It seemed strange, but we thought we’d give it a try. And, guess what? We were pleasantly surprised by this unusual combination, and now look forward to a plethora of radishes every spring…

How to Make Simple Syrup
Here’s a simple recipe for making you own simple syrup (there’s a reason it’s called simple), with an option to add herbs like mint, basil, rosemary… Be creative! If possible, buy sugar made from sugar cane. If sugar cane is not specified, the sugar is probably made from genetically modified sugar beets. This recipe is easy to double or triple, but you shouldn’t keep it longer than 4 weeks. It’s best to make a smaller amount and use it all.
Watermelon Grape Power Punch
Any blender should work, although a more powerful one like a Vitamix will make this smoother. If your blender is powerful enough to grind them, use grapes with seeds, which are high in antioxidants. This is a refreshing and nutritious drink for a summer cookout.
Roasted Chipotle Sweet Potato Salad
Sometimes we use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for a particular recipe, but then don’t know what to do with the remaining peppers. We came up with this recipe as a way to use them, but the spices in your Finite Foodie pantry will also work (see Variations). Roasting potatoes brings out the sweetness, although we’ve had good results using boiled potatoes as well. Keep in mind that roasting reduces the volume, so you’ll end up with less quantity (compared to using boiled sweet potatoes), but a more intense flavor.
Sweet Potato and Black-eyed Pea Burgers
Summertime is here, and you’re having a cookout! There’s one problem though: what do you cook for your vegetarian friends? This is a nice option whether you’re doing a barbecue or not. Make these ahead in a skillet, then warm them up when the rest of the grilled meats are done. Serve like a hamburger…
Caprese Platter
Caprese means “from the island of Capri” which is where this now famous salad originated. It is comprised of mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, oil and vinegar, representing the red, white and green of the Italian flag. You can make variations by adding ingredients or changing the presentation. For example, we’ve laid it out in a line,…
