Quinoa Tabbouleh
Makes about 7 cups, enough for 4-6 people

1 cup dry quinoa
1/2 red onion
2 medium tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 bunch parsley (about 2 cups)
1 bunch mint (about 1/2 cup)
8 ounces feta
1/4 cup good extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
extra lemon juice to taste
salt to taste

Rinse the quinoa under cool water. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Add the quinoa and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Turn down the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the quinoa is fluffy and chewy, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, dice the half a red onion and put it in a bowl covered with water and a pinch of salt to soak. Cut the tomatoes in quarters and squeeze out the seeds. Dice the remaining tomato flesh into small pieces. Finely mince the garlic, parsley, and mint.

Empty the quinoa into a large bowl and allow it to cool almost to room temperature. This will help the vinaigrette coat everything without the quinoa absorbing too much of it. The quinoa should feel just barely warm to the touch. You can speed this process by spreading the quinoa into a thin layer and stirring it occasionally.

Once it has cooled, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and a healthy pinch of salt. Pour it over the quinoa and stir until the grains are evenly coated. Add the onions, tomatoes, garlic, parsley, and mint, and stir to combine. Crumble the feta over the top and gently stir it in as well. Taste the salad and add more lemon juice or salt as desired.

Serve room temperature or cold. The salad is even better the next day once the flavors have had a chance to mingle. Serve it on its own as a side dish or with wedges of pita bread as a light appetizer.

Happy Valley Cherry Cake Serves/Makes: 18 Ready In: 1-2 hrs Ingredients: 1 package plain lemon cake mix (18.25 ounce size) 8 tablespoons butter -- melted 1 cup whole milk 3 large eggs 1 can pitted tart red cherries packed in water (14 1/2 ounce size) 6 tablespoons cherry juice (reserved after draining cherries) 1/2 cup water 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon almond extract Directions: Lightly mist a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Set pan aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cake mix, melted butter, milk and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed 1 minute. Stop machine and scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping sides down if needed. The batter should look thick and well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing it out with spatula. Drain cherries, reserving water, and place them on top of batter, spacing them out in pan. Place pan on middle rack of preheated oven. Bake cake until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 43 to 45 minutes. Remove pan from oven and place on wire rack to cool while you prepare the sauce. For cherry sauce, place reserved cherry juice, water, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch and almond extract in a saucepan over low heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Cut cake into squares and use a metal spatula to flip them out onto serving plates, upside down. Pour cherry sauce over squares and serve. (Store cake without sauce, covered in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to one week. Prepare cherry sauce right before serving.)

I'm going to try making Artisan No-Knead bread very soon. This particular recipe (tried and true on another forum) takes **18 hours** to rise, so plan the day before to make it. The result is a nice round loaf, with a chewy texture inside, which we like. No Knead Bread Time: About 1Â½ hours plus 14 to 20 hoursÂ rising 3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast 1 1/4 teaspoons salt 1 5/8 cups water ( 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tbsp) Cornmeal or wheat bran as needed. 1. In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt. Add water and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees. 2. Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes. 3. Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with wheat bran or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more bran or cornmeal. Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours. When it is ready, dough will be more than double in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a finger. 4. At least a half-hour before dough is ready, heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 6- to 8-quart heavy covered pot (cast iron, enamel, Pyrex or ceramic) in oven as it heats. When dough is ready, carefully remove pot from oven. Slide your hand under towel and turn dough over into pot, seam side up; it may look like a mess, but that is O.K. Shake pan once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is beautifully browned. Cool on a rack.
