This is a great pilaf that incorporates both rice and quinoa. It is versatile and you can use any frozen vegetables you and your family prefer. The nuts can also be swapped according to preference and what you have on hand. One day last week I used walnuts, this time I used almonds – your choice. You can eat this as a main course for a … [Read more…]
Pasta Fagioli Soup | The Levantess
This is a recipe for a delicious soup consisting of mostly pantry ingredients. I stumbled across a recipe for Pasta Fagioli a few years ago, but I made changes according to what we had and my family’s tastes. Using the marinara sauce gives it more of a long-simmered, rich taste. This recipe specifies Italian turkey sausage, but I have also used … [Read more…]
Meatless Monday- Egg In A Rabbit Hole (Egg with Kale & Spinach, Topped With Cracked Pepper & Sumac)
Eggs In A Hole typically place the egg in the middle of a slice of bread. I like to place mine in the middle of a bed of greens, the kind that would make any rabbit (and veggie-loving human) happy. It’s a fast and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and pretty healthy, too. You get 2 cups of leafy greens in this meal, heart-healthy olive oil, and a … [Read more…]
Chicken and Dumplings
I know that it is officially Spring, but it actually snowed yesterday in some areas, so we are still in Chicken and Dumpling weather, as far as I am concerned. You can consider this recipe a template for your own version of Chicken and Dumplings. Instead of carrots, you could use parsnips, or rutabaga. Add 1 ½ cups of green vegetables. I greatly … [Read more…]
Meatless Monday – Ravioli, Mushrooms, and Spinach in Rosé Sauce
like to keep a package of fresh pasta in the refrigerator when I know that we will be busy the upcoming week, because it provides a quick meal option when we are running around all day and need to get food on the table quickly. The sauce takes about 10 minutes to make, so plan that accordingly when you start your ravioli. Ravioli, Mushrooms, … [Read more…]
Review and *GIVEAWAY* – Kiss Me Organics – Organic Dandelion Root Tea – With Hibiscus & Cinnamon
I received some Dandelion Root Tea from Kiss Me Organics, in exchange for an honest review. I was very happy to have some new tea to try, because I love a relaxing cup of hot tea. I had never tried Dandelion Root tea before, so I had no idea what to expect. You can detect a slightly bitter undercurrent to the tea, which is masked well by the … [Read more…]
Tilapia on a Bed of Spinach, Topped with Tomatoes, Capers, Onions, & Garlic
This is a colorful seafood dish that can be thrown together quickly, yet has great color and flavor. The most laborious part of this is chopping the tomatoes, onions, and garlic – and you could even use canned chopped tomatoes and their liquid to save even more time. The rest is layering. I have to admit that tilapia is not my preferred seafood, … [Read more…]
Meatless Monday – Garlicky Potato Dip/Mash
This is a mashed potato dip, using olive oil instead of butter or cream. You can use parsley or cilantro in this, keeping in mind that each has a distinct flavor. Garlic is what makes this very tasty, but start at 1 clove, adding more if needed. We’ll be eating this along with an omelet and a salad for Meatless Monday. It is also good as part of a … [Read more…]
Caldo De Yum! , or Turkey Sausage, Spinach, and Alphabet Noodle Soup
We needed soup, because everyone in our house was sick. I didn’t have any chicken, but I did have sweet Italian turkey sausage, so I decided to make a soup that complemented the sausage. I thought of tomato, automatically, but we didn’t want it too strongly tomato-ey. So, this soup is mostly chicken stock based, with some tomato paste to flavor … [Read more…]
Meatless Monday – Colcannon
What is there to say about this recipe? Butter = good. Potatoes = good. Cabbage = good. Put it all together in whipped form = excellent. Next time, I think I’d add carrots or parsnips, and maybe kale as well. Meatless Monday – Colcannon 5 red-skinned potatoes, scrubbed clean (about a pound) ½ small cabbage 1 cup whole milk 1 … [Read more…]
