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 →

Grilled Clam Stuffed Mushrooms with Tomato Relish

Posted on June 29, 2017 | 14 comments

I have a gigantic collection of cooking magazines that I have collected over the years. I’m pretty serious about my collection as well. My magazines are filed away according to the month published. When ever I need some recipe inspiration, or want to do some light reading I go find this months file. I tab all my favorite ideas so they are easy to find, but sometimes I will reread the magazine and see how my tastes have changed since I first tabbed it. Recently I did this and came across a stuffed mushroom recipe with a red pepper relish. I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t tabbed that recipe! I instantly wrote up my own variation and dubbed it worthy of a grill out night. And thus, grilled clam stuffed mushrooms with tomato relish was born. Continue reading →

Spicy Cauliflower Swiss Chard Pesto Pasta

Posted on June 12, 2017 | 18 comments

Leafy greens are one of the hardest foods for me to consume regularly. Spinach and kale are the easy ones. I devour kale salads when I bother to make them, and I try to mix spinach into dishes like quesadillas or lasagna. I mixed chard into enchiladas before, but I was inspired by Joanne@Eats Well with Others to try a pesto! This spicy cauliflower Swiss chard pesto pasta recipe was amazing! Seriously, I surprised myself with how much I loved it, and I found a new way to enjoy more leafy greens like chard. Continue reading →

A simple salad is always a go-to meal at my house. Quality ingredients is always the key because quality can turn simple into outstanding! I make a lot of lunch salads that never make it onto the blog because I don’t take time to take pictures before work in the mornings. I made this cilantro lime southwest black bean salad for a grill out this past weekend, and it was a hit! Continue reading →

Tzatziki Cucumber Dill Crackers

This week I have been having a lot of fun playing around with cracker toppings. Bite size food has to be able to impress in that single bite, so you know the flavors have to be good. Therefore, sampling all those flavors, such as my Banh Mi Crackers, has been a lot of fun, and delicious. The Breton Crackers that I received samples of have been great. I received the original flavor, which is quite tasty, and really enjoy their light and crisp texture. The size of the cracker is large enough to top with lots of veggies and smear with sauces, such as my Tzatziki Cucumber Dill Crackers. Continue reading →
