Smoked Paprika Zucchini Hash Breakfast Bowls

August 12, 2016 by Faith 4 Comments

Smoked Paprika Zucchini Hash Breakfast Bowls are a delicious low-carb alternative to a potato-based hash. These bowls whip up in just 30 minutes for a perfect meal any time of day!

The only hash I knew growing up was of the potato variety. It was cooked in bacon grease, seasoned with onion and garlic, and tinged orange with paprika. Served with fried eggs, bacon, and buttered toast with jam, it was quite the heavy meal.

What can I say? It was the late ‘80s/early ‘90s and that was what a home-style breakfast consisted of. The funny thing is, we only had it when we were camping during the summer (at home breakfast was usually cereal, cold in the summer, and hot in the winter), so as an adult I’ve had to make an effort to add hash to my normal repertoire and not just save it for a select few summer weeks.…

Smoky Roasted Garlic Cauliflower “Rice” with Toasted Almonds {Paleo}

February 22, 2016 by Faith 12 Comments

Paleo Smoky Roasted Garlic Cauliflower “Rice” with Toasted Almonds is a delicious grain-free side dish that comes together easily and pairs well with any number of things. My husband is a real meat and potatoes man; and when I say meat, anything will do except pork (which we don’t eat), and by potatoes I mean starch of any kind (usually some form of pasta, bread, rice, or potatoes). You can imagine my surprise when he told me earlier this year that he wanted to cut way back on starchy foods as well as sugar! I was as happy as a lark, armed with low-carb versions […]...

The first time I had Swiss chard I was in my 20’s. (I am not even joking.) That’s pretty sad, right?...

Smoky Cheese Bisque

So, let’s talk cheese. Everyone likes cheese, right? Ok, I guess not everyone. But in my whole life I’ve only come across three people who don’t like cheese. And each of them has a caveat as to when they will eat it....

Quick Smoky Red Pepper Hummus and Baked Pita Chips

March 13, 2013 by Faith 19 Comments

My hubby, Mike, who grew up in the Middle East, doesn’t go for any kind of “flavored” hummus. No crazy additions of things like pumpkin (at the mention of that, he gave me a shocked/horrified look and muttered, Do people really do that?; my reply, Why yes, yes they do.), sundried tomato, pesto, or even roasted garlic (because of course garlic should be raw in hummus!). The word “hummus” in Arabic actually refers to chickpeas themselves (and what we think of as hummus is called Hummous bil Tahina or M’sebaha), so of course chickpeas is the only legume that should be used. According to my […]...

Chili, with a Spanish Flair

February 15, 2012 by Faith 16 Comments

Chili, with a Spanish Flair is a great way to mix up your chili repertoire! How many times a year do you make chili? I make it a few times, but always with a different recipe. (I have a common food blogger problem; I tend to think of meals that I make and enjoy but don’t photograph for the blog as wasted opportunities, which means I rarely get to enjoy a good meal – rather, the same good meal – twice.)...

Smoked Paprika White Bean Stew (Inspired by Fabada Asturiana)

November 4, 2010 by Faith 56 Comments

Mike and I aren’t vegetarian, but we try to eat vegetarian meals two or three nights a week for our health and for environmental reasons. After countless meals of veggie soup, hummus, lentil stew, eggs every way you can imagine, falafel, grilled cheese (or if you’re Mike, lebaneh (yogurt cheese) with tea, olives, and za’atar), and tofurkey, you start to look for new ideas. (Side Note: If you have a favorite vegetarian meal, please feel free to share!)...
