Recipe: Mini Stuffed Peppers with Feta and Bacon

Earlier this week I was caught without groceries, don’t you hate when that happens?  You have to get creative, especially when you don’t like grocery shopping as it stands.  HA!

These were really delish, and I have to say I prefer them cold as an appetizer rather than a meal (which is how I ate them!) – so this would be a great dish to take to a gathering.

The recipe calls for using frozen chopped spinach, but I had a bag of spinach that needed to be used up, so I chopped that up instead.

Recipe: Cauliflower Cheese Soup

Who doesn’t love soup?

This one is so simple and totally yummy!  And it’s one of those recipes when I can’t find anything else to eat in the house, I usually have these ingredients on hand anyway, so I throw it together.

Recipe: Creamy Chicken with Cabbage and Apples

In case you haven’t noticed, this week’s recipes are about cabbage and apples. I had a plethora of both that I needed to use up.

The original of this recipe was to be made with bacon instead of chicken. I opted to try it with chicken, modifying some of the ingredients.

In retrospect, I think it would be better with the bacon, although with the chicken it was most tasty!

As I was enjoying it for lunch, something came to me … it was a memory of a scene from The Brady Bunch […]

Recipe: Avocado Feta Salad

Is it possible to be a avocado-holic? If so, I admit that I am powerless over avocados.

::giggle::

But seriously folks. What a wonderful piece of perfection an avocado is. It is my mainstay in the high fat diet. And when they are 10 for $10 at my local grocery store, well then, it’s time to fiddle with perfection!

Two qualities of avocados that I adore: high in potassium and lots of fiber!

This recipe is my mainstay on the high fat diet. I have this available whenever avocados are in season. LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe because in actuality, you can […]

Recipe: Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Portobello

There are days when I prefer just to go meatless.

In fact, not too long ago I was in the habit of doing Meatless Monday’s.  I did this because usually my weekends were a grilling fest and I had unhealthy amounts of protein and I just wanted to give my body a rest.

I have gotten out of that habit, but after sampling this recipe, I think I might just develop it once again.

This was beyond my normal yum factor.  It was so incredibly rich, I could barely finish it for dinner, but I made myself.  ::giggle::

Pair this with a simple salad […]

Recipe: Blender Hollandaise Sauce

Some people stay away from making Hollandaise Sauce because it looks to complicated. Who really understands anything about double boilers???

::giggle::

If it ain’t easy, I ain’t gonna do it, plain and simple.

THIS IS EASY! Give it a shot!

Nummy on asparagus. Shown here, I layered it on some quickly pan fried in butter cut up portabella mushrooms, an egg, and some bacon bits. I served it with a chopped salad and it became a great brunch for Sunday morning!

Enjoy!

Recipe: Pumpkin Chipotle Sauce

Yeah, I am on a pumpkin kick, for sure.

Just shoot me already.

::giggle::

I am finding more and more things to make with pumpkin, so you will just have to put up with it.  Last year there was a pumpkin shortage so I definitely did not get my fill.  I am making up for lost time.

This dish is SPICY, so it’s perfect for cool fall evenings … warming the inside as well as warming the outside.

I used zoodles, but you can actually use almost anything.  Quite frankly, I made this, took one serving to take the picture, then I ate […]

Recipe: Tzatziki

Who doesn’t love Gyro’s???

The sauce that makes the whole thing is something called Tzatziki. When this stuff is made right, it’s to die for, quite seriously.

Since most of us don’t do wheat anymore, pita is off the menu, so the next best thing is a Gyro Salad.  My local Greek Restaurant makes a killer Gyro Salad – I have yet been able to replicate the meat and it seems that all Greek chefs don’t like to share.

Scares me sometimes.

HA!  I digress.

A grilled meat salad topped with this sauce is something to be treasured.  It’s simply divine.

The trick with […]
