Recipe for Spicy Broccoli-Jicama Salad with Red Bell Pepper and Black Sesame Seeds. (For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites, and this Spicy Broccoli-Jicama Salad with Red Bell Pepper and Black Sesame Seeds is not only delicious and colorful, but it's highly nutritious.)
Every so often I get infatuated with a certain ingredient and end up using it over and over until something new catches my eye. Currently I'm really quite smitten with jicama, both for the crunch and the slightly-sweet flavor that goes well with so many other things. When I'm creating my own recipes, the best ones seem to come about almost by accident when I start thinking about the ingredient I'm currently infatuated with, and suddenly a recipe idea will pop into my head. Those recipes don't always turn out to be keepers on the first try, but the second version was a winner for this Spicy Broccoli-Jicama salad. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and let them hang out together while you prep the veggies for the salad. Instructions: Feed your eyes.

Recipe for smoky corn chowder - Soup Chick. All New Englanders are predisposed to love chowder.
It's in our DNA. But not all New Englanders like the same chowder. Bostonians will argue that the only true chowder is white clam chowder, rich with potatoes and cream. Cooking.
