Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Easy to whip up with minimal ingredients, this creamy, flavorful Garlic and Chive Cottage Cheese Dip Recipe is great to keep on hand for snacking.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been one to shy away from bold-flavored foods.
Extra, extra onion on every sandwich. (I wish I were kidding. If you’re ever at a sandwich shop and you hear someone order their sandwich with double extra onion, walk up and say hi because it’s probably me.)…
Savory Scones with Scallion and Cheese are perfect for breakfast, snack time, or paired with something hearty like soup or stew for dinner. I’ve become somewhat of a scone connoisseur in the past couple years from making them so much. There’s just something about scones that appeals to me!...
Breakfast, Part 1 (pre-workout): Cottage Cheese I can’t believe it’s been about a year since I last did a What I Ate Wednesday post! (Here are my first three: 1, 2, and 3.) I’d like to say I’ll try to do more of these posts, but in reality, my daily eats generally aren’t always interesting (I’m still stuck on my cottage cheese in the morning! :) ). There is a random day that is pretty fun though, and this day was one of them…enjoy!...
Breakfast, Part 1 (pre-workout): Cottage Cheese This is my third time participating in Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday (here is my first and here is my second)…I know I don’t participate as much as some people, but I hope I’ve given someone out there some meal inspiration! It’s actually more of a challenge than it seems to photograph everything you eat in a day (it’s really time-consuming and makes you think more than you normally would about what you’re ingesting), and this has caused me to gain even more respect for bloggers who post every meal they eat, every day of the week (Kath immediately comes […]...
Breakfast, Part 1 (pre-workout): Cottage cheese (I really wasn’t kidding when I said I eat it every day ;) ) This is my second time participating (here is my first) in Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday and this month is all about loving your veggies…fun, right? I knew right away that I wanted to participate. If you’re a food voyeur (I know I am), dig right in!...
Breakfast, Part 1 (pre-workout): Cottage cheese (my favorite way to start the day :) ) The lovely Jenn of Peas and Crayons has been hosting What I Ate Wednesday for a while now and it’s always looked like fun, so I decided it was time to participate! (Plus, who doesn’t like to see what other people eat? Like Jenn mentioned, I think there’s a little bit of a food voyeur in all of us. ;) )...
Campari tomatoes are deep red, round tomatoes that are usually sold on the vine. They’re sweet and juicy and I think they taste a lot like cherry tomatoes (they also look similar to cherry tomatoes, only larger). Campari tomatoes are the perfect tomatoes for stuffing because in addition to their great flavor, they’re big enough to get a decent amount of filling inside. The filling I use in this recipe is a combination of three cheeses (mozzarella, Parmesan, and cottage cheese), which I puree until smooth. The end result is a cheesy mixture with a consistency similar to ricotta, but much more flavorful. If you’re […]...
Blintzes make a perfect weekend brunch. Imagine this…it’s Saturday morning, you’re slowly waking up to the sunlight streaming in your window and the birds chirping…you get up and brew your coffee (what’s better than the smell of coffee brewing in the morning?) and your stomach starts to growl, leaving you wondering what to eat. Since it’s a little too late for breakfast (it is Saturday, you’re entitled to sleep in!) and too early for lunch you decide to have brunch. Luckily, this recipe only takes about 15 minutes to make. Cheese Blintzes (Yield: Serves 2: makes 4 blintzes total, 2 per serving) […]...
What is the difference between crustless quiche and frittata?, you might be wondering. As far as I can tell, not much. The only difference that I know of, is that crustless quiche (like regular quiche) is made of a custard mixture (eggs and some form of cream or milk), while frittata is made of eggs. The end products end up being slightly different…quiche has a lighter and more delicate texture, while frittata is denser. In my recipe for crustless quiche I lighten it up by replacing cream with a purée of low-fat cottage cheese and milk…it actually has a very creamy consistency and does a […]...
