Every Friday when the weekend is nearly here, I’m usually cooked out from making every meal all week long. So, I try to make a quick soup or a fast dinner. Today, everyone wants burgers for dinner instead of my flatbread, but since I already prepped it, I decided to just make it for myself. […]
A few months ago, my friend Su made me some spring rolls from scratch and they blew me away! They were so amazingly good and I was instantly intimated by them, excited by them and determined to learn how to make them. I have to say though, the actual process of making them isn’t as […]
Christmas in our house is very similar to Thanksgiving – we make a big turkey with gravy, have roasted veggies and always have some kind of cranberry sauce or relish on the side. Since we made a chunky cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving this year, we decided to make more of a chopped up relish for […]
If you search my archives, you’ll find that I love spinach. Fresh, frozen, creamed – you name it, I’ve made it. While frozen spinach is the easiest way to make creamed spinach (imho), using fresh spinach is a pretty close second. The addition of the egg yolks give this a slightly yellow tint, but that’s […]
Beets take a lot of work to make well, but they are so worth it! Just the color alone screams Christmas. Roasting them brings out a deep flavor and helps you peel the skin more easily (win-win!). And there’s no waste because the salsa verde comes from the beet greens and stems. I like the […]
Deviled eggs are some of my favorite appetizers. But, do you ever want to eat one, but decide not to indulge because of all the mayonnaise? Health buffs rejoice! Here is an amazing HEALTHY holiday appetizer – just eggs, avocado, and some toppings. It’s festive and delicious all rolled up into one.
Latkes, aka potato pancakes, are a Hanukkah staple. But they are good just about any time of year served alongside a rotisserie chicken or a piece of salmon. They’re crispy, fried veggie patties and my favorite way to eat them is with a dollop of apple sauce on top. You can use any kind of […]
I don’t know about your Thanksgiving, but at ours, we are so overwhelmed by savory and sweet pies. Pure vegetables rarely make an appearance. So this year, I’m making sure we have a variety of healthy roasted vegetables on the table. I used beets, Brussels Sprouts, turnips, carrots, sweet potatoes and Russet potatoes with a […]
I made this for dinner (again) tonight and it’s so so so so so good. You can really use any seasoning, too, because like most squash, acorn squash is a blank canvas and absorbs the flavor you put into it. It’s super tender and full of flavor. It’s the perfect Fall side dish.
We BBQ most nights in the summer – it’s easy to cook and easy to clean-up. I like to make sure we change up what we’re eating each time, but one recipe we always make is Trevor’s Coleslaw. It’s a recipe he brought here from England and every time we make it, everyone raves about […]
