Roasted Fennel, Zucchini, and Clementines with Tomatoes and Feta
Not Your Typical Roasted Veggie Meal. At All. Here is a pretty simple pan of roasted vegetables and clementines – 2 bulbs of fresh fennel, 1 zucchini, 1 red onion, and 3 clementines are the basic ingredients. But this ended up being so much more than that. Not that a simple tray of roasted vegetables […]
Bacon-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms On Bitter Greens
Talk About a Great Main Course Salad Meal! Lots of bacon. That’s what happened here. I started out by cooking 10 slices of bacon, but I wasn’t sure I’d use all of it. Really? Who was I kidding? It ended up being the perfect amount of bacon. No big surprise there. I haven’t made stuffed […]
Sheet Pan Chicken, Apple, Cabbage, and Croutons
Who Doesn’t Love a Great Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner? I set out to make a quick and easy chicken thigh sheet pan dinner. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to add to the chicken. But when the time came, I had half a head of red cabbage and a couple honey crisp apples […]
Sausage, Bean, and Escarole Bake
The Flavors of White Beans, Italian Sausage, and Greens Hardly Need Anything Else in Order to Shine. Escarole and beans is a classic dish for a reason. It’s one of those ultimate comfort foods. The bitter flavor of the greens mellows completely when they’re braised with the beans. I had a taste for it, but […]
Black Rice Stuffed Baked Tomatoes
Feta, Nigella Seeds, Pomegranate Juice and Arils Combine for a Unique and Delicious Take on Stuffed Tomatoes. I’ve been singing the praises of black rice for awhile now. I love its chewy texture and flavor. Plus, the deep purple color is so beautiful when it’s cooked. I find it irresistible in salads and mixed with […]
Savory Tomato Cobbler with Cheddar Cream Biscuits
A Cobbler That’s Not Dessert? Oh, Yeah, It is a Very Good Thing. I’ve run across a couple of recipes for tomato cobbler throughout the years and I’ve always been intrigued. I mean, come on. Doesn’t the thought of biscuits sitting on top of baked tomatoes sound good? I had visions of the bottoms being […]
Lemon and Poppy Seed Olive Oil Cake with Crème Fraîche
I Now Have the Simple Lemon Cake I’ve Always Wanted. As with my orange cake, I had a situation where I’ve never been perfectly satisfied with any lemon cake I’ve ever made. Typically, they don’t have enough lemon flavor or they’re a little dry or the crumb is not what I want. I decided it […]
Focaccia/Pizza with Lemon Ricotta, Strawberries, and Peas
I Can’t Resist Fresh Cool Toppings on a Warm and Chewy Crust. Is this recipe best labeled as a pizza or a focaccia? Or neither? I honestly don’t know. It’s a cross between both things. The crust is chewy, but lightly crisp. And it’s topped with ricotta, greens, onions, strawberries, and peas. Whatever you wish […]
Lamb Kebabs on Beet Flatbreads
Skewers of Lamb Served on Top of Flatbreads is Never a Bad Thing. I made my Beet Flatbreads with Pomegranate Raita and served them with lamb kebabs. I love skewering meats. Something about it just makes it so much more fun to eat rather than simply slicing up a leg of lamb. I’ve been hooked […]
Baked Black Lime Fries with Smoky Tomato Aioli
Is There Anything Better than a Crispy Potato Dunked in Something Delicious? Thick and crisp oven baked fries are a thing of beauty. I really don’t think of them as fries, per se. They’re bigger, so there’s more creamy inside of the potato and by tossing them in a couple teaspoons of rice flour, olive […]
