I posted a lighter, more salad-like spaghetti squash recipe earlier, but if you need something with protein and heft, this is another way to eat that versatile veggie. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Cut your spaghetti squash in half, and de-seed it. Place cut-sides-down in a baking dish and bake for 40 minutes….
For these smooth addictive (be careful!) summertime treats, you’ll need: 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 Tbsp whole milk 1 Tbsp maple syrup 1 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 tsp instant coffee granules 4 Popsicle molds Although my Popsicles were a little on the not-full side, so depending on the size of your molds, you may or…
If you’re lucky like my friend Shar, your garden is bursting with more cucumbers than you can handle. If you’re unlucky like me, your cucumber plants are dead, but you can still get them at the store (or from Shar). This cucumber tomato salad is one of my favorite parts of summer, and I can’t…
This crustless quiche was delicious and caused a buzz in my household (er… my husband and I had a conversation like, “This is good.” “I think so too.” “You should make it again.” “I think I will”). For the “stuff”: 1 pound of bacon, cut into small pieces and cooked 1 pint of sliced mushrooms,…
Quick post, not bogged down with too many words… just yum. For the burgers… Probably about 1.5ish pounds of ground beef 1 egg 1 t. paprika 1 t. salt 1 t. pepper 2-3 T Worcestershire sauce 1 t. onion powder Mix it together, shape into patties of whatever size you’d like, and grill. The guacamole…
This vegetable side is the perfect accompaniment for spicy bronzed chicken. It’s certainly flavorful enough to hold its own with any strong entree. You’ll need: a bundle of asparagus 1 T extra virgin olive oil 1 onion salt and pepper 3 T aged balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons mustard (dijon is good but all I had…
Here’s a chicken rub that will make any piece of bland blah meat into the star of your dinner (well, unless you pair it with asparagus with caramelized balsamic onions, but we’ll get to that another day). Every bite will be deliciously tasty, with a little kick. This makes enough rub for 4 chicken breasts….
I asked my husband to describe this salad (I made one for each of us for lunch) and he said it was, “substantially bacony good.” Ah, the eloquent words of man… but I can’t help but agree with him. Layer: baby romaine lettuce halved grape tomatoes or diced tomatoes sliced hard-boiled egg (I always have…
I’ve always been a fan of sweet and salty combos. Bacon-wrapped dates, fruit and cheese, that sort of thing. So here’s a sweet and salty dessert for you. It may sound a little unorthodox, but give it a try and you might just do what I did… gobble up the whole bowl, lick your lips,…
Here’s a delicious breakfast salad you can make with your leftover walnut-crusted chicken. It’s so good you might want to make up a batch of the chicken just for breakfast salads. On a bed of baby romaine lettuce (or baby spinach, or mesclun) pile: walnut-crusted chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces blueberries sliced strawberries Top with…
This chicken wasn’t 100% a success, but it wasn’t an ERROR either. With a couple modifications, I’d be really excited to try this again. First of all, I’m not sure why I decided to cut the chicken into such small pieces. Maybe cutting each breast into 4 pieces would be fine, but I crazily cut…
Just look at this picture. I don’t need to tell you why you want to eat this meal, do I? Is it the perfectly ripe locally-grown tomato from the farmers’ market down the street? Imagining taking a bite of turkey burger topped with creamy avocado? That tangy rich hollandaise sauce? Where do you start?! I’ll…
