Cilantro Lime Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos

Posted on September 8, 2017 | 4 comments

This fall has been unseasonably cool for us here in southern Illinois. I have been enjoying the cool temps, and hoping for a long fall. My slippers and sweatshirts have been dusted off and are getting some use, especially in the mornings. The cats love to sit in the windows and have been enjoying this early fall as well. I am usually one that takes a long time to get into the swing of fall, but I am already craving warm comfort foods. These cilantro lime sweet potato black bean tacos are hearty and filling, while staying fresh and light! Continue reading →

Posted on August 21, 2017 | 10 comments

This month the recipe redux challenged us to make dinner-inspired dishes for breakfast! My favorite savory breakfasts always include eggs, like this sweet potato mushroom hash! I knew I wanted to use eggs in my recipe, but eggs are so versatile! The recipe ideas were endless! Therefore, I put on my thinking cap and turned to my favorite dinner ideas. Pizza is always a favorite, and I developed it into a fast protein packed breakfast. Try my quick veggie pizza omelet for breakfast or for dinner! Continue reading →

Heirloom Cherry Tomato Balsamic Jam

Posted on August 3, 2017 | 10 comments

I started most of my garden plants from seed this year. The cherry tomatoes have been the most interesting to see mature. They were an heirloom variety, but for some reason I expected that they would still be cherry red. If have two plants, one produces purple tomatoes, and the other gold! Surprise! The tomatoes have still been a delicious treat this summer, and I especially love them in this heirloom cherry tomato balsamic jam! Continue reading →

Spicy Hummus and Veggie Stuffed Peppers

Posted on July 31, 2017 | 4 comments

I am always so tempted by all the produce at the farmers market during the summer. I want to take it all home, but I couldn’t possibly eat it all! At least I get to go back every weekend to reload for the coming week. Last week I bought a big box of red bell peppers and I really didn’t need them all. To use the the pepper I made spicy hummus and veggie stuffed peppers! Continue reading →

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Paneer Curry

Posted on July 27, 2017 | 6 comments

I have a love hate relationship with curry. On one hand, I absolutely love it. It’s versatile, healthy and easy to make. However, I don’t like most curry powders I have tried, taking curry from love to hate. Instead, I make my own curry powder. It requires stocking lots of spices to make my own blend. The plus side is that I can vary the amount of each spice every time I make a batch so that the flavors vary each time. No one curry dish will be the same as the next in my kitchen! Check out my slow cooker sweet potato paneer curry where I tried using more whole spices! Continue reading →

Five Spice Shrimp Tacos with Rhubarb Ginger Sauce

Posted on July 24, 2017 | 10 comments

Have you guys tried chinese 5-spice powder yet? It’s been a popular up-and-coming spice for a while now, and I’m just now getting on board. Chinese five-spice is a blend of Szechwan pepper, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel. It has a wonderfully warming characteristic that pairs perfectly with other Asian flavors, such as ginger, and is not spicy. My five spice shrimp tacos with rhubarb ginger sauce are an amazing twist between Asian and Mexican cuisines! Continue reading →

Slow Cooker Italian Lentil Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Posted on July 21, 2017 | 12 comments

This month’s theme for the recipe redux was to avoid heating up the kitchen by using a cool cooking appliance (ie not the oven). I love my big slow cooker for soups, but I don’t eat many soups during summer. The zucchini in my garden have been plentiful for a few weeks now, at one point I had a pile of 14 on my kitchen counter! Therefore, zucchini boats were in order. To fit in with the redux theme, I made slow cooker Italian lentil stuffed zucchini boats! Continue reading →
