Grain-Free Cauliflower Fritters

Cauliflower Fritters – Emshaat – Gluten Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free  I love cauliflower. It is very versatile, and can stand in for chicken to make many recipes vegetarian. In fact, when my son was 3, and I made the following recipe, he thought he was eating chicken. As long as he was eating his vegetables, I really didn’t care what he called … [Read more…]

Corned Beef with Mustard Sauce

This is my second post in as many days after a bit of a hiatus, but I do have a backlog of posts that have been waiting to be written.  St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, so this recipe made it to the front of the queue.  I really enjoy the traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner.  However, my husband and kids are not as enthusiastic as I am. I’ve … [Read more…]

Pea and Potato Lamb Stew

This is a delicious stew that can be made from mostly freezer and pantry items, making it a good recipe to have on hand for those days that you cannot get out to shop. This recipe can be used with other frozen vegetables as well and reheats well for leftovers. You can serve this with rice, or flat bread, a dollop of yogurt, and salad. … [Read more…]

Red Coconut Curry Slurp Bowl with Lotus Foods Gluten Free Ramen

It’s been a while since I have cooked or blogged regularly. This has been a brutal season, despite the weather being nice. We have all been sick, right after the other. I feel (I hope) that we are on the other side of it now. I was given the opportunity to try some Lotus Foods items, through the Meatless Monday movement and Lotus Foods.  I was … [Read more…]

Vegetable Cheese Soup – Meatless Monday

This soup is a bit lighter than the usual broccoli cheese soup. It is a forgiving recipe, in that you can use all broccoli, all cauliflower, or any combination of the two. You can use thawed frozen veggies instead of steaming raw ones. I like to add a summer squash (or zucchini) at the beginning with the onions, to add some more veggie nutrition – … [Read more…]

Red Cabbage Salad

This is a salad made up of red cabbage, carrots, and onions, with a lemon juice and olive oil dressing. It is a slightly tangy salad, that isn’t heavy or dripping with dressing. My good friend, fellow blogger Corey of Cooking With Corey came up with the idea of a Vegetable Of The Week challenge, which I thought was great for inspiration. So, of … [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…]

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…]

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…]

Kofta Kabob Under the Broiler

This is your basic kofta recipe, shaped into kabobs, and broiled. Once you do this, you can either serve with rice, or wrapped in flat bread or pita. Let me tell you, this recipe takes ground beef (or lamb) and elevates it way, way up. A little secret – My husband asked for this exact meal two days in a row. Shhhh. Broiled Kofta Kabob 1 1/2 … [Read more…]
