Sweet, but not too sweet, crumbly, but not falling apart, this is an amazing pie for summer. The cherries were fresh and delicious and it was a nice refreshing end to the heavy BBQ we provided our friends on July 4th. Yum!

Plus it’s that gorgeous yellow curry color and you get the burst of flavor and purple from the grapes…I wish we had leftovers, but it all went so fast!

I recently went to a local restaurant that cooks with all local and organic produce…They make the best veggie burger I’ve ever had and I’m pretty sure there were no lentils or beans. It just tasted so fresh and veggie-licious! So the ultimate goal is to find a recipe like that but for now I’ll stick with this one, which did turn out pretty tasty. Vegetarian and Carnivore approved!
Read more for the recipe… Not to be confused with baby back ribs…These. were. awesome. The ribs I got from Price Chopper were grass fed and delicious but not really what I was expecting. They were really long (not the side ways length slabs you normally cook ribs as) and had the side bones in them? Very strange. But! nonetheless they were deeelicious. Feel free to make your own BBQ sauce…with tons of people coming and lots to prepare, I wasn’t quite up to the challenge (Dinner Impossible anyone?)

And a great BBQ tip if your area isn’t doing fireworks on July 4th (which ours wasn’t…wtf is that??), SPARKLERS ARE ALWAYS AWESOME!!!! Now THIS is the main event of the evening. I actually dream about this cake all year long, but don't make it often because there are 9 (count 'em, 9) eggs in it...*drool*. Thoroughly gluten free and delicious! It's a bit tricky to roll and usually cracks, but you can cover it with icing.
Cake Roll (makes 8 - 10 servings) Ingredients 7 oz. dark, good-quality semi-sweet chocolate 4 tbsp strong coffee 7 eggs, separated 3/4 cup sugar 2 tbsp cocoa It gets even better....dreams of chocolate.... This was the 2nd best part of the meal! Keep brushing the salmon with the honey orange glaze and pour the rest of it over the quinoa when serving and the flavors will hit you in the perfect way. Definitely proof that Passover food can be gourmet and flavorful...!
Ingredients 4 5-oz. salmon fillets 1 orange (1/4 cup juice, 1 tsp finely grated orange peel) 1 tbsp honey 1/2 tsp ground cumin 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp curry powder 1 1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken or vegetable broth 1 1/2 cup quinoa 2 green onions, chopped 1/2 cup shredded carrots Salt & Freshly ground Black Pepper to taste Can't you smell the orange-spicy goodness?
