Pytt i Panna {little bits in a pan}, is basically a Swedish hash comprised of piping hot bits of fried meat, potatoes and onion. Though variations abound, the dish is a lesson on how sometimes the simplest lists of ingredients can produce a comforting, flavorful meal.
Feature the Castello Moments Alps Selection cheeses with build-your-own three cheese flat breads.
Spicy salsa fresca on top of lightly-fried eggplant slices is a fusion dish at its finest and makes a unique bruschetta-inspired appetizer.
Inspired by one of my family’s favorite appetizers {Stuffed Jalapenos}, a recipe which I will share with you soon, I decided to stuff some mini sweet peppers that were leftover from a Cinco de Mayo fiesta at my son’s preschool. A variation of my quinoa “taco” salad {without chicken} was a healthy stuffing that was easy to mound inside the small peppers.
This time around, I skipped the step of making gyoza altogether and simply made the meat filling, forming it into mini patties for gyoza sliders. When dressed with sauteed mushrooms and red onions, wasabi, pickled ginger and gyoza dipping sauce, these fusion burgers are a unique twist on the classic American burger and they make a tasty appetizer or main course.
This creamy baked {spinach} mac and cheese is another way to introduce healthy greens into your family’s diet. And if your kids are like mine and love dyeing foods whacky colors, then the natural green color is a little bonus, especially with St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner.
These individually-wrapped filet mignons work well for holiday entertaining and dinner parties. And the fancy little filets enveloped in puff pastry {definitely rich comfort food!} are perfect for sharing with your Valentine, too!
The day after I made the chicken quinoa taco salad I made quesadillas with the leftovers. Considering that the taco salad was acutally a leftover meal, that means that I got three completely different meals out of our chicken tacos. That’s music to my ears for busy weekday dinners and lunches!
Adding quinoa to the mix is a great way to add protein along with other nutrients to this healthy and flavorful taco salad. If you have the chicken and salsa done in advance, it’s a quick way to turn leftover tacos into a new meal.
In this cordon bleu-inspired chicken, the chicken is stuffed with pistou/pesto, artichoke hearts, feta cheese and roasted red peppers.
