We all love greens in our house, so I’m always on the lookout for new and flavorful ways to prepare them. When I stumbled across THIS recipe, I knew I wanted to try it. The words in the title alone made my mouth water, and when I read through the ingredients, I knew it would be a hit.
As always, I modified the original recipe a bit.… Continue reading
As we walked through the market, I saw a big pile of fresh, local, sugar snap peas. For me, these are definitely a food that shouts summer. So I had my 6-year-old fill our mesh produce bag full of them, and we brought them home to eat for dinner.
When produce is so fresh and ripe, I think it’s best to let it shine on its own, to let its own natural flavors take the spotlight instead of preparing them with a heavy sauce or another dominant seasoning.… Continue reading
We eat a lot of greens in our house, and I love adding garlic to everything. Combining the two is a natural combination for us. Not only is this a very healthy side dish, but it tastes fantastic and it’s simple to prepare.
This recipe works well with any greens that you happen to have on hand, which makes it a great way to reduce food waste (see HERE) by using greens that might be nearing the end of their shelf life.… Continue reading
Most of the people in my family break into a rash when we eat rice, so it’s not something we make or eat. Yet, every once in a while there is a recipe that would be great over rice: a curry (like THIS or THIS), a stir fry, or other dishes full of saucy goodness.

I’ve been looking for new snack ideas that my boys will be excited about. They love almost any type of vegetable that we roast: kale (see HERE), beets, cauliflower, seaweed, and broccoli. Today we decided to make roasted carrots.
In the past when we’ve made roasted carrots, I cut them into rounds using my food processor (that’s definitely faster), and we’ve called them carrot chips.… Continue reading
Dark leafy greens are so wonderfully healthy that I try hard to incorporate a good amount of greens into our daily diet. I find myself adding them to just about everything: smoothies, eggs, ice pops, fruit leather, stir fries, casseroles, and so on. But sometimes greens deserve the spotlight all on their own, especially when they’re in season and especially delicious.… Continue reading
While I was searching for something new to try in our kitchen, I stumbled across this recipe for Broccoli Breadsticks. We could eat all the ingredients in the recipe, and I happened to have all the ingredients except fresh basil on hand. So I modified it slightly and we decided to give it a try.
I’m not sure what I was expecting when I made this recipe, but the breadsticks didn’t turn out how I imagined they would (perhaps I focused too much on the word “bread” in breadsticks).… Continue reading
If you’re looking for a way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, or simply looking to lower the glycemic index of the foods that you’re consuming, this recipe is a great comfort-food inspired way to do both.
While it doesn’t taste exactly like mashed potatoes (it is, after all cauliflower), I’ve surprised many people by telling them that they were eating cauliflower.… Continue reading
