Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This paleo Baked Eggplant Recipe pairs mild roasted eggplant with a richly spiced tomato sauce, nutty toasted almonds, and fresh mint.
Normally as summer winds down I start to hoard summer vegetables.
Cucumbers get pickled, tomatoes get stewed (for beautiful things like creamy tomato soup in the middle of winter), and zucchinis get baked. (By the way, that chocolate zucchini cake I linked to freezes well for up to 6 months if wrapped well!)…
Pico de Gallo Recipe (also called Mexican Salsa Fresca) takes just 10 minutes to make and transforms a few ordinary ingredients into a bright-flavored fresh salsa that you can pair with everything from tacos to tortilla chips, or just eat with a spoon. I can always be in the mood for Mexican food. I love richly spiced moles, slow-cooked fall-apart-tender meats like oxtail, roasts, and short ribs, and fresh cheese. Mexican cuisine is a harmony between spicy flavors to excite and creamy textures to cool the palate. And let’s not forget the fresh, bright flavor of things like tomato-based salsa that’s aromatic with cilantro to […]...
With artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil, this Mediterranean Pasta Salad Recipe is packed with flavor for the perfect 20 minute side dish! Most of us already have a favorite pasta salad in our cooking repertoire. But do you have the perfect pasta salad that you can whip up for any summer party, picnic, or BBQ? I definitely didn’t before this!...
This Garlic Roasted Mushrooms Recipe is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, olive oil, and fresh rosemary for an easy side dish that pairs with just about anything. As far as mushrooms go, it’s usually a love or hate situation. I have yet to meet anyone who has said “Mushrooms? Eh, they’re ok!” It’s always more of a passionate response one way or the other, lol! I fall deep into the mushroom-lovers camp....
Healthier Roasted Gobi Manchurian (Indo-Chinese Cauliflower in a Spicy Sauce) is made in the oven, which is easier and healthier than frying! It’s crispy and delicious with a flavorful sweet and spicy sauce. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably already know that I love Indian flavors....
This Borani Banjan recipe (Afghan Eggplant with Garlic Yogurt Sauce) is a richly spiced stewed eggplant dish that’s served with tangy garlicky yogurt on top. When I lived in the DC area, there was an Afghani restaurant about 5 minutes away that had the best eggplant. It was a simple side dish, often overlooked by the more popular sides like bread and rice....
This Keto Pierogi Recipe makes perfect pierogies; crispy outside, chewy inside, stuffed with a savory mushroom filling. Top them with onions fried in butter, sour cream, and fresh dill! Lately I’ve had a serious craving for pierogis. Up in Buffalo, you can get amazing thick, cheese-filled pierogies from the grocery store (Wegmans, I’m looking at you, lol)....
This heirloom Creamed Onions recipe is a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavor in a rich, buttery cream sauce. Serve it up for any holiday or special occasion meal! One of the perks of food blogging is all the creative and thoughtful gifts that people bestow once they find out about your blog....
This recipe for Keto Crispy Baked Zucchini Slices is my take on a favorite summer side dish my mom makes. My version hits all the right notes – crispy outside, tender inside, and full of flavor – but with much fewer carbs! When I was younger my mom had a small vegetable garden, and zucchini was always one of the vegetables that thrived best. If you grow zucchini you probably come to expect zucchini overload every summer! It’s always good to have a few new recipes up your sleeve to help use up the bounty....
Cauliflower Potato Salad (aka mock potato salad or low carb potato salad) has a mayo-based dressing with a touch of Dijon, dill, and a few spices. It’s every bit as delicious as regular potato salad, but with a fraction of the carbs! The magical property of cauliflower is that you can transform it into almost anything else. Cauliflower lends itself well to low carb simulations of pizza crust, bread sticks, rice, mashed potato, macaroni and cheese, and yes, even potato salad! I know what you’re thinking, and I was skeptical too, but let me explain....
