Cheesy Potato Soup with Roasted Poblano, Greens and Bacon…and the Top 10 Flavor Trends
Since I first accepted the new role as a flavor correspondent for Sargento, working in conjunction with Rick Bayless’ list of Top 10 Food Trends, I have started to experiment with new ingredients and combinations and to read about some of the ethnic cuisines that are less familiar to me. I am having fun in…
Wholegrain Sunflower Raisin French Toast
Sunflower Raisin Brown Bread with Steel Cut Oats is a spin-off of my healthy version of Irish soda bread. I love it for all its texture and natural sweetness and especially for its health value. There isn’t a speck of refined flour, and steel cut oats are thrown in for added goodness and nuttiness. This bread…
Sunflower Raisin Brown Bread with Steel Cut Oats
When I perfected my Brown Soda Bread with Steel Cut Oats, I was so happy! A whole grain bread that requires no yeast, no kneading, no rise time and mixes up in one bowl! Most importantly, it tastes great. My husband claims I never make the same thing twice, which is not entirely true. However, certain recipes have…
Avocado Egg Salad
Enjoy this healthy egg salad in a wrap, as a salad, or serve with carrot and celery sticks for a chunky and super-satisfying dip! Lauren Kelly is a certified nutritionist, not to mention a dear foodie friend of mine. She recently published a comprehensive book on eating wheat-free and kindly shared it with me. It…
Kale and Eggs
A “busy night” dinner that’s hearty, healthy, colorful and super satisfying. Easy to customize based on preference and what you have on hand. There are lots of “busy night” dinners that I pull together often but have not shared in this space. Why, you may ask? Well, because they are the busy nights,…
Roasted Garbanzos…and other roasted beans
A simple technique and helpful hints for the best crunchy snack–that happens to be healthy, protein-rich, economical, and easy! Last year, when I first posted my recipe for roasting garbanzo beans, a couple of my friends mentioned that a few of the beans popped in their oven! We quickly determined that the garbanzos still…
Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oatmeal
I’ve mentioned a time or two in this space that I enjoy my morning oatmeal! When I haven’t kept up with the demand for baked oatmeal or when we aren’t working our way through a backlog of eggs from our four chickens, this is the way I often prepare it. Steel cut oats lend themselves…
STAT Chicken Noodle Soup
This quick, soul-warming soup is loaded with tender chicken and colorful veggies and puts on fun twist on the pasta. Pediatrician recommended and family approved! NOTE: Following is an excerpt from my February 2013 column in the Lancaster Sunday News. For the link to the referenced “Ask the Pediatrician” column, which may be of particular interest if you feel…
Parmesan Crusted Salmon
Wholesome and delicious, this quick and easy salmon can even be prepped ahead, making it equally ideal for busy weeknights and weekend entertaining. A version of this recipe was the first seafood dish I ever served to company when I was newly married 18 or so years ago! I have given this recipe away…
Honey Sweetened Corn Muffins (gluten-free option)
My husband adores cornbread, so I have made it scores of different ways over the years. Since his birthday is today, and because we like to start birthdays in our family with birthday muffins, bagels, donuts or baked oatmeal — basically, anything I can stick candles in to start the day off in a festive…
Orange-Infused Chocolate Chunk Brownies
Who remembers the Pepsi Challenge? Years ago, I remember going to a mall while with my family in the Poconos and seeing the stand. I thought it was so cool that we ran into the real, live challenge, just like they did on the Pepsi commercials. My mom never kept sodas in the house, so…
Raspberry Peach Coconut Smoothie
We sometimes enjoy smoothies for breakfast, although I more frequently make lunch out of them. For a meal on-the-go, the make-ahead recipes (see drinks and smoothies category) are particularly handy. My kids, on the other hand, often request a smoothie as an after-school snack. New flavors are developed based on the fruits they request —…
