Peach Basil Pizza with Balsamic Drizzle

Posted on August 7, 2017 | 8 comments

This pizza is one of my favorites. Pizza is on regular rotation at my house, and it is always something special, like this peach basil pizza with balsamic drizzle. It is loaded with fresh summer flavors; we simply can’t get enough! I love to incorporate fresh seasonal ingredients on pizza. The peach is juicy and along with the balsamic drizzle, there is plenty of moisture so you don’t need any sauce. Top with melty cheese and some fresh herbs, you’ll be eating it all summer long!

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 →

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 →

Chipotle Cauliflower Hummus Tacos with Cumin Slaw

Posted on July 17, 2017 | 16 comments

One of the most fun things about recipe development is taking a recipe you love, and adapting it. Sometimes it’s about making it healthier, or adapting it to fit different diets. If you read here often, you know how much I love fish tacos. However, a lot of readers here are not looking for fish based recipes (I don’t post many). Therefore, I created chipotle cauliflower hummus tacos with cumin slaw to be vegan, and just as delicious! Continue reading →

Gouda Grilled Cheese with Apricot Ginger Spread

My parents taught me how to make a grilled cheese sandwich at a very young age. They encouraged me to cook as a kid, and maybe that’s why I enjoy it so much today – it takes me back to my youth. Back then, my grilled cheese sandwiches were simply made with cheddar, but this Gouda grilled cheese with apricot ginger spread is a delicious adult take on the simple and convenient grilled cheese sandwich.
