Though a thin crust may seem like just a vehicle for the toppings, this flat bread {flavored with spinach, garlic and feta} is actually very tasty on its own or as a simple cheese and/or pesto breadstick. For my St. Patrick’s Day flat bread, I had fun using shamrock and other festive {green} toppings.
My obsession with vegetable soups continue. This broccoli soup has a creamy texture and a rich flavor but it might surprise you that no cream or even half and half is needed. Overall, it’s a hearty, healthy and easy weeknight choice.
There is something so satisfying about filling a blender with spinach leaves and blending it up into a tasty drinkable concoction that even your kids will enjoy.
For round two of the Ragú “New Tra-Dish” project, I have transformed eggplant parmesan into a low-carb, vegetarian lasagna. This eggplant parmesan lasagna may be hands down my favorite way to eat eggplant and I can honestly say that I do not miss the noodles.
I have had the opportunity to partner with Ragú to cook up some Italian dishes. As part of the “New Tra-Dish” project I was asked to select two of the Ragú Authentic Italian Recipes and create my own spin on them. First up, enjoy skillet chicken cacciatore as a hearty, comforting Italian chicken & vegetable soup.
Maybe I’ve gone a little overboard this season, making all sorts of vegetable soups. But they have become a staple in my family’s kitchen. Soups such as this asparagus soup are quick and provide a healthy side or main dish.
This red berry smoothie is naturally bright and the perfect color for Valentine’s Day. In addition to being a healthy option for breakfast, lunch or a snack, it could also pass for a dessert.
I’m watching the snow continue to fall as we gear up for another fun day of skiing, sledding and tromping around the neighborhood. But first, we are savoring our morning waffles. Though it’s technically not a holiday, it sure does feel like a mini vacation around here.
From my family to yours, wishing you health, happiness and many delicious moments in 2014. Happy New Year!!
I have recently found that quinoa is a great addition to my back-to-school repertoire because these soy-ginger quinoa salad wraps, for example, can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator, ready to go for lunches, after-school snacks, and busy weeknight dinners.
