One of my very favorite fruits is in season right now. Kiwis can usually be found year round, but you will definitely notice a difference if you buy them while they are in season.

how to: make buttermilk
February 29th, 2012 - by Deborah Harroun
I know you’ve been there before – it’s Saturday morning, and you get a craving for pancakes. But your favorite recipe calls for buttermilk, and there is none to be found in the fridge. You don’t want to go to the store – it is a lazy Saturday morning, after all, but you really want pancakes.
recipe: beef, bean and vegetable chili
February 22nd, 2012 - by Deborah Harroun
Over 3 years ago, I posted my first blog post here on the Cafe Zupas blog – for “Warm You Up” Chili. And since then, I have tried and tested multiple other chili recipes. Chili is one of those things that I just don’t get tired of trying over and over again! And I’m at it again with this Beef, Bean & Vegetable Chili.

recipe: creamy meyer lemon crumb bars
January 25th, 2012 - by Deborah Harroun
A couple of years ago, we took a trip to Oregon to see some of my husband’s extended family. While we were there, at his aunt’s house, we discovered that she had a huge Meyer lemon tree. I knew what Meyer lemons were, but had never seen them locally and had never tried them before. I felt like we hit the jackpot that day! We went home with a big bag of the lemons, and it was a sad day when they were gone. Continue reading “recipe: creamy meyer lemon crumb bars” »
celebrate – football {buffalo style!}
January 18th, 2012 - by Deborah Harroun
When it comes to football, it’s no secret that I’m not really into the football, but I am totally into the food! In fact, most years, I wouldn’t even be able to tell you who is even playing in the Super Bowl. But you can bet that I’ll show up to the party for the food!! And when it comes to the food, for some reason, buffalo chicken pops out to me as the ideal football food.
So I thought it would be fun to bring you all kinds of different buffalo-chicken inspired foods, perfect for football night, or if you are already planning for the Super Bowl. Here are 51 different ways to serve up Buffalo chicken – you’ll have plenty of inspiration here!

recipe: ham and bean soup
January 11th, 2012 - by Deborah Harroun
Last week, my husband brought home a ham that he was given at work. I impressed myself by whipping up a ham dinner (without even going to the grocery store!) for dinner that night, but since we are a small family, I found myself with a whole lot of leftover ham. And as much as I love a good ham sandwich, a girl can only eat so many ham sandwiches!! In comes soup to the rescue! This soup is so easy, and fast as well. And you don’t need a ton of leftover ham to make it – you can easily buy a small ham or a ham steak at the grocery store. I come across recipes that call for the ham bone a lot, but I wanted a recipe that you can make with just the leftover ham. I don’t often have a full ham, but am often sent home with leftovers. So this recipe is great for one of those occasions!

in season: tangerines
January 4th, 2012 - by Deborah Harroun
As much as I love the fresh produce of the summer, every year I eagerly await when the citrus hits the store shelves. I love stocking up on clementines, oranges and tangerines. It is so refreshing to enjoy fresh segments of in season citrus. And there is one that I’ve been especially enjoying this year – the tangerines.
recipe: mini chickpea cakes
December 28th, 2011 - by Deborah Harroun
Every New Year’s Eve, my family gets together to bring in the new year. Instead of having a meal that night, we each contribute 1 or 2 appetizers, and we all just graze all night, enjoying the food, the company, and playing games. It’s a great way to bring in the new year!! I have been searching high and low for the appetizers I will be bringing this year, and I’ve been trying out several recipes, trying to find the best.
