Rhubarb Tagine

Posted on June 1, 2016 | 6 comments


Rhubarb Tagine 2Rhubarb is one of my spring-time favorites.  It is most often used in desserts, but that tangy flavor goes well into so many other things!  I don’t make that many desserts either, so I have to get creative to find ways to enjoy rhubarb.  Rhubarb and dates combine to make a rhubarb tagine that is both tangy and fruity!

Pizza Baked Potatoes

Pizza Baked Potatoes

I have a no waste attitude when it comes to food.  I hate throwing out even the littlest bit of food just because it doesn’t have a purpose, or because I think there isn’t enough left to use.  With a little bit of effort and planning you can prevent this kind of waste.  Today’s Pizza Baked Potatoes was created because I had a small amount of pasta sauce that was not going to go down the drain.  The recipe was so good that I made it multiple times and perfected the seasonings, and today I’m sharing it with you!

Garlic Lemon Roasted Broccoli

Garlic Lemon Roasted Broccoli

In my quest to eat healthy foods, I have realized how important a healthy and delicious vegetable side dish can be.  Side salads were once a favorite of mine, with a quick homemade vinaigrette.  However, most lettuces don’t have the nutrition and fiber content that we look for in vegetables.  Chopped salads with lots of veggies are time consuming for a simple side.  This garlic lemon roasted broccoli dish is simple, delicious, and healthy!

Cilantro Pesto Pizza

Cilantro Pesto Pizza

I didn’t use to like cilantro.  In every bite of a dish utilizing cilantro, all I could ever taste was the cilantro.  It was too strong for me, and still is if I don’t cut up the leaves into tiny little pieces.  I learned to start to like cilantro when I was introduced to the Tandori Naan Pizza’s cilantro pesto pizza with tomatoes.  This recipe is a mimic of that frozen pizza.  I don’t make it on naan bread, and I don’t always add tomatoes, but this recipe still has the punch of flavor that I loved from the frozen pizza!
