Baked {Sweet} Coconut Black Rice

Baked {Sweet} Coconut Black Rice

I almost named this recipe rice pudding, because that is what you think of when you cook rice with sugar and milk, but it isn't quite a pudding. It is rather firm, but sweet, black rice.  So it isn't quite pudding-y. Plus, it isn't cooked with dairy milk, it is cooked with coconut milk.

Crustless Noodle and Roasted Vegetable Quiche

Crustless Noodle and Roasted Vegetable Quiche

I had some leftover cooked wide egg noodles and some roasted vegetables from a previous meatloaf meal.

Kofta with Tomato Sauce (Mediterranean Meatballs with Tomato Sauce)

This is a tray bake of kofta with potatoes, onions, and tomato sauce. I've previously posted a Kofta with Tahini recipe, which is pretty much the same thing, but with a different sauce. This dish can be assembled the night before, and then popped in the oven after you get home from work, so it is a good weeknight option. This is very good … [Read more...]
