I was inspired by EatingWell Fast & Flavorful Meatless Meals: 150 Healthy Recipes Everyone Will Love (EatingWell), Eating Well Magazine's idea of using their book, to eat my way through May without consuming meat. I ordered the book a little late and it should be arriving soon, so I have had to improvise.
Here's what I concocted using Italian Kale and the first herbs from my garden: Kale and Cannellini Bean Soup.

Sometimes it is the stories our relatives tell over and over and the ensuing laughter that helps to create the indelible bond to our family food heritage. This is the case for Stephanie Plunkett, niece of Agnes Djaha who I interviewed a few months ago. Although Stephanie does not remember being at a celebration for St. Barbara Feast Day(which her Aunt talks about in her interview) she has heard many of the stories of her family's past celebrations, allowing her a glimpse into the experiences of her relatives. Stephanie joins Heirloom Meal's Radio to tell us about how everything in her household growing up was about food and the ways she shares her Syrian and Lebanese food traditions with her own son today.
