Cauliflower-Spinach Mini Pizzas
After making pizza with a cauliflower crust and being amazed at how delicious it is, I was inspired to fiddle with the recipe a bit. Spinach seemed like a perfect partner to the cauliflower and the idea of bite-size pizzas seemed fun. Depending on how thin I spread the “crust” prior to baking, I could…
Cauliflower Crust “Pizza”
This recipe first caught my eye through a website called Naked Moxie. She, in turn, had seen this crazy idea for cauliflower crust through a blog called Casey Cooke: Jersey Shore Wildtree. When I saw the recipe, I simply had to try it. I mean, a cauliflower crust? That is some seriously clever thinking! This was…
ChinDeep Buttermilk Pie
There is so much I could say about this pie! First off: I cannot rightfully claim this recipe as my own. It was graciously shared by the very talented Melissa at ChinDeep. While I love to invent my own recipes or reinvent ones that I’ve seen along the way, some of the best recipes are…
Greek Sausage and Egg Skillet
Fast food without the drive-thru. It can seriously happen…and taste better and cost less. For me, getting dinner on the table every night often involves creative use of leftovers or a simple meal of fresh ingredients. Pulled together in the right way, this can be both healthy and very satisfying. The ingredients for this meal,…
Maple Blackberry Sauce
Fresh fruits are such a great topping for oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream, pound cake, cottage cheese, shortcake…I’m sure you could add a few more items to the list. When fresh fruits aren’t available–and after I’ve used the last of the strawberry-rhubarb sauce I freeze every year–I turn to frozen, organic fruit for quick and delicious…
Meatloaf Pizza Subs
I really love leftovers…especially when they can be reinvented to make a fun, easy, and completely new dinner! This was a raving success and something I will definitely be repeating. While I used leftovers from my Roasted Veggie Meatloaf with Balsamic Glaze, any meatloaf will do!
Roasted Veggie Meatloaf with Balsamic Glaze
Meatloaf is one of those meals that I make a little differently each time. The possibilities are endless and you can hardly go wrong: fresh herbs, oats, grated onion, sauteed vegetables, raw vegetables, barbecue sauce, Dijon, mashed black beans, various combinations of meat–all of which can provide excellent flavor and texture. Lately, thanks to my…
Indian Roasted Vegetables over Lentils
When I need staples like toilet paper or paper towels, I make a trip to Costco, and I invariably find a few other items that weren’t on my list! Last time, I saw a bag labeled “sprouted grain trio” which was a mix of grains, including lentils, that cooks in five minutes. Grains that are…
Mango Macadamia Muffins
My kids are crazy about mangos. When I made Mango-Peach Smoothies recently, I marveled at the thick, velvety texture the mango created. With their wonderful texture and incredible sweetness, I started thinking mangos would make a great muffin. Yet, we seldom (never?) see mango muffins! I was also thinking that pureed mango could be incorporated…
Sauteed Kale with Pancetta
A nutritional powerhouse, kale is truly one of my all-time favorite vegetables and I find ways to put it in everything from soups and salads to frittatas. Simply sauteing with a little garlic and onion is a quick and delicious preparation and a superb salad substitute. Adding a small amount of pancetta will add a smoky,…
Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese
A short list of ingredients takes eggs to new heights in this quick-cooking dish that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or breakfast for dinner. This wasn’t my initial dinner plan, but when I realized I had some leftover smoked salmon (from the recipe I originally made to go with my Brown Soda Bread with Steel…
Speedy Guacamole
Homemade guacamole can be made in a flash using your favorite salsa. If you just need a little, cut the recipe in half; double it if you are feeding a crowd. Either way, you can whip this up in no time! Try this on Mexican Pizzas for a real slice of heaven!
