One of my favorite things to do is enjoy an evening around the campfire! Campfires usually lead to drinks and food, and my favorite campfire food is this weeks recipe, homemade smokey white cheddar popcorn!
This popcorn gets it’s smokey flavor from smoked paprika. The fresher the smoked paprika, the stronger the flavor will be. I buy small amounts from the bulk spices so that it never looses its strong flavor! Continue reading

Burritos might be my all-time favorite Mexican food. But then again, I do love fajitas! With these mushroom fajita black bean burritos, you don’t have to choose, you can enjoy them both!
Burritos are one of my go-to fast and easy dishes for busy weeknights. I rarely make fajitas at home, and tend to save them for eating out because of all the fresh veggies and chopping involved. Continue reading

Pizza is one of those dishes that I could eat every night of the week. There are so many delicious variations, I just don’t get tired of it! If this is you, too, then you better put my roasted garlic and mushroom white pizza on your menu rotation!
I am teaching a night class this semester, and this means the husband has to cook… Translation: frozen pizza! We have enjoyed some frozen mushroom and spinach pizzas, and I was inspired to make my own variation. Continue reading

Cabbage is one of my favorite veggies I keep in the fridge for fast easy meals. This week, I am sharing a Chinese green cabbage noodle stir fry recipe.
Red cabbage is my go-to cabbage variety. Green cabbage has a little less flavor, and of course, less color. Sometimes, I find green cabbage harder to use because of what it is missing in comparison to red. Continue reading

Is anyone feeling like a tropical meal to bring you out of those winter blues? My barbecue chickpea Hawaiian bowls are made with pineapple and coconut quinoa for fresh island flavor!
The barbecue chickpeas in this dish pair perfectly with the sweet pineapple. Pick a barbecue sauce that is not very sweet to help keep flavors balanced. Continue reading

My husband adores garlic. I use it in almost ever dish we make, but it’s rarely the main flavor component. In this creamy garlic potato soup, I used four cloves per serving!
The garlic is added three different times, to add great garlicky flavor with every step. First it’s sauted with some onion until caramelized, then I add more with the broth to simmer. Continue reading

I developed this balsamic tomato and feta french bread pizza recipe for winter, store-bought tomatoes that are less flavorful.
Winter tomatoes that didn’t get to ripen on the vine just don’t have the same flavor, or texture as fresh summer tomatoes. A little soak in some balsamic adds sweetness and acidity to brighten those tomatoes right up! Continue reading

Whenever you make a pan sauce, the sauce whisk is the tool to use. I used my sauce whisk for my ravioli with garlic herb white wine sauce recipe (see pictures). Totally love it!
This months recipe redux theme was: “Show us a healthy recipe highlighting a favorite kitchen tool, gadget, or gizmo.” If you like to make pan sauces, a sauce whisk is a must! Continue reading

Who’s ready for some very veggie spinach artichoke calzones?? Me! Me, please!
Calzones are usually loaded with (delicious, ooey-gooey, high fat, not good for my waist-line) cheese. In my version, I loaded them up with veggies for guilt-free satisfaction. Continue reading
