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.…

Sweet Pea Salad with Scallion, Bacon, and Lemon Cream Dressing

May 16, 2014 by Faith 4 Comments

Sweet Pea Salad with Scallion, Bacon, and Lemon Cream Dressing is a quick, easy, and beautiful spring side dish! When I think of spring – as far as food goes – green peas immediately come to mind. I think it’s because green peas are not only one of my favorite springtime foods, but also because they remind me of the green buds on trees. And if you live in a place where it snows, you will know exactly what I mean when I say that buds on the trees in spring are a most welcome sight....

Creamed Cabbage

February 5, 2014 by Faith 9 Comments

Creamed Cabbage makes a delicious side dish for just about any main course! Right before New Year’s, I shared a post with photos of a few recipes that I made, but never blogged for various reasons. In that post was a picture of Creamed Cabbage; the picture itself was not my favorite, but the dish was fantastic. It’s one of those things you can eat every day for a week, and when it’s gone, still wish you had made a bigger batch. I don’t blame you for bombarding me via email for the recipe....

Green Apple Salad with Manchego + Spiced Almond Dressing

March 22, 2013 by Faith 27 Comments

I think it might be a little weird that I don’t watch TV. (Except for two shows, which I am both insanely excited about since they’re starting up again soon: Game of Thrones and The Borgias.) I’ll admit it’s somewhat of a shame that I don’t know about the latest shows on the Food Network, and that the Real Housewives of Wherever are completely lost on me (ok, so maybe that second one isn’t really a shame at all). Movies are more my thing....

Peanut Butter, Bacon, & Leek Bites

August 21, 2012 by Faith 13 Comments

Peanut butter is a fantastic addition to savory recipes like chicken satay (or chicken satay stew) and noodle dishes (like these peanut-y noodles). These savory little bites are along those lines – full of flavor with peanut butter, turkey bacon, and leek. If you’re looking for a fun, unique appetizer, this recipe is perfect. For the full recipe, check out my post on Peanut Butter & Co.’s All-Star Recipe Blog. (There’s also the chance to win a jar of Old Fashioned Smooth, the peanut butter used in this recipe!)...

Lemony Pasta

March 20, 2011 by Faith 29 Comments

A while ago I was incredibly lucky to win a giveaway that was hosted by my friend Katerina of the lovely blog, Culinary Flavors (thank you so much, Katerina!). The prize was a beautiful assortment of Greek specialty foods, including the delicious Greek pasta Hilopites, which are small, square noodles made with milk and eggs....

Bacon Pate Toast Stack with Poached Egg Yolk

February 22, 2011 by Faith 57 Comments

I was honored when Natasha of 5 Star Foodie and Lazaro of Lazaro Cooks! recently invited me to take part in February’s 5 Star Makeover (a huge thank-you to Natasha and Laz!), and then when I found out that the theme was “Bacon and Eggs” I was thrilled beyond words. Initially I didn’t know if I wanted to go the sweet or savory route for my dish, but after much brainstorming (to name just a couple of my ideas, how good does Herbed Choux with Bacon Custard or Savory Custard with Sweet Bacon Tuiles sound?), I decided on savory. Not only that, but I decided […]...

Meals in Minutes — Warm Veggie Wrap

March 9, 2010 by Faith 30 Comments

I usually try to be organized and plan out mine and Mike’s dinners for the week. Lunches, on the other hand, are a different story. A free-for-all, basically. I typically pack both of our lunches based on sandwiches or whatever leftovers I find in the fridge. During a normal weekday lunch I don’t usually get to enjoy a meal as delicious as the one I am about to share with you. If you have leftovers and want a fantastic meal ready in about five minutes, this is the meal for you. It’s ready in minutes, filling, and completely customizable. Warm Veggie Wrap (Yield: 1 […]...

Meals in Minutes — Guacamole BLT

January 26, 2010 by Faith 29 Comments

Most people know that avocados are really fruits rather than vegetables, but until recently I had no idea that avocados are actually large berries that come from the same family as cinnamon, camphor, and bay laurel (for more info on avocados, see here). Avocados are known for their creamy texture and buttery flavor, and are used in a variety of sweet and savory recipes. My next Meals in Minutes post is a sandwich – Guacamole BLT. The salty, crispy bacon and the smooth, creamy avocado pair perfectly, and the tomato and lemon juice really help to brighten the avocado’s flavor. Since it’s mashed, guacamole is […]...
