Crispy Salty Chickpeas
Crispy Salty Chickpeas are one of my favorite ways to top salads. I know people have been baking these things for a while as a snack and I have even seen prepared ones in the grocery store. It wasn’t until I ordered a salad at my favorite restaurant where crispy chickpeas were included, that I…
Strawberry Kale Grain Bowl
When warmed temps hit, I like a fresh take on my meals. This strawberry kale grain bowl can be thrown together in a few minutes using ingredients you probably have on hand. The quinoa provides protein, strawberries provide freshness and the good news is the kale holds up even after being dressed. A strawberry kale…
Hibachi Style Teriyaki Vegetables
Asian inspired foods are some of my favorite dishes. Do you go to those Hibachi style Japanese restaurants and love the vegetables? Well now you can make hibachi vegetables at home! I always eat my vegetables and any leftovers on my husband’s plate. That big dollop of herb butter they throw in there has to…
Chili Stuffed Poblano Peppers
I really cannot get enough taco-y stuff. I think it’s the toppings that keep me coming back. Salsa, sour cream, pico, and of course a little cheese. The flavors are just so good. My husband recently had a burger with a poblano pepper on it and he raved about how much he liked it. This surprised me since peppers usually aren’t his thing. Remembering his love of the poblano I took our taco Tuesday next level with these Chili Stuffed Poblano Peppers.
Kale and Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
When the cooler temps hit, it’s time for the root veggies of fall. Those root veggies include one of my favorites, butternut squash. It’s sweet, buttery, and it just exudes autumn. This Kale and Roasted Butternut Squash Salad is perfect for a light lunch or as a side on the Thanksgiving table. One of the most important things to do when you’re eating healthfully is to eat in season. It’s not only cheaper, but tastier.
Feel free to get creative with this salad as a base. You could use this same preparation and instead of butternut squash, you could use acorn squash, apples, or sweet potatoes. The hearty kale can take the dressing and the heat from the roasted vegetables without becoming wilted. That’s the beauty of kale. It stands up to being dressed before the party, and even the leftovers are delish right out of the fridge.
Crispy Tofu Super Food Fried Rice
I have to give my sisters all the credit for this recipe. They make fried rice all the time, and it’s always so good. My crispy tofu super food fried rice takes their technique and adds some healthy twists. A blend of rice and quinoa, tofu and edamame add plant based protein. While the vegetables…
Brussel Sprout Salad with Herb Dressing
I love me a roasted Brussel Sprout. Once I discovered how good roasting them was, I realized I actually like them. I’ve found I don’t like them boiled or steamed. You might be like that too. Perhaps the only brussel sprout you’ve encountered comes all limp and tasteless from a frozen bag. This Brussel Sprout…
Roasted Chili Taco Casserole
There’s a common misconception about food bloggers. That is we just never cease to enjoy slaving over a beautiful meal fit for the cover of Food and Wine. The truth is food bloggers are just like you. Sure, we love to cook on most days, but we also come home from a hard day and…
