In keeping with the Indian food theme (Onion & Garlic Naan recipe), here’s a quick & delish weeknight main course. It requires a few special ingredients…but once you have ’em you can give an Indian flavor to all sorts of things like eggs, potatoes & veggies. Enjoy! Ingredients 2 T olive oil 6 black peppercorns
Most naan recipes take hours…even days. But not this one! In just 2-3 hours you can have pillowy, chewy, tasty homemade naan. Incorporate any ingredients you like – I chose onions & garlic. It’s that easy! Ingredients 3/4 c milk 2-1/4 t (1 envelope) active dry yeast 1 t sugar 3-1/2 c flour 1 t
Chicken is a standard protein for my dinner table. But…truth…sometimes I get really tired of the ways I typically cook it. Why kebabs have not been one of my go-to’s is beyond me! Kebabs are quick (even with all the chopping…which thankfully doesn’t require neatness!), versatile, healthful & delish. I’m putting these on regular rotation from now
I LOVE brownies…and apparently so do bears! To make a long story short…. Years ago I took a batch of these fabulous brownies on a camping trip at Redfish Lake. The campground host warned everyone about bears & instructed us all to lock our food/coolers in our vehicles. If a bear was spotted we were supposed to
Banana muffins recipes are a dime-a-dozen & over the years I’ve tried quite a few. My biggest frustration: You can hardly taste the bananas! Enter this recipe…it’s packed with a full 2 cups of bananas! What better way to get a potassium hit AND use up a bunch of those overripe bananas in your freezer!!
This time of year is one of my fav ‘s for eating…and that’s because it’s pesto season! What more can you ask for in food – garlic, oil, cheese, nuts & basil. There ain’t nothing better. And it goes with everything from chicken to eggs to tortillas to pasta to shrimp to potatoes to veggies
Moo Shu Pork is one of my fav Chinese dishes. But it is a bit time-intensive to make. This is why I am so happy to have found this dish! It is a super flavorful, super-fast Moo Shu alternative perfect for a weeknight dinner! Ingredients 1 lb sausage, with or without casing (I really like chorizo!)
Oh, the joys of summer produce! Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash & basil…loads of basil! Here’s a wonderfully easy (and SO delish) recipe for summer squash. While this one uses yellow squash, you could certainly sub in zucchini, Pattypan or crookneck. It’s zesty, garlicy, crunchy & basil-y…all in one amazing dish! 🙂 Ingredients 3 yellow squash Olive
Truth – I LOVE pickled things. Well…real truth…I love pickled things…EXCEPT for pickles! That’s what makes this recipe so awesome. It has all the stuff I love about pickled foods (crunchy, vinegary, tangy goodness), but it’s not pickles! And frankly, these onions & jalapenos are just so darn good on everything. My mouth is watering just
I just completed a backpacking trip in the Sawtooths where we covered 7 miles on Day 1 & 13 miles on Day 2. This was an amazing trip full of spectacular wilderness scenery & high mountain lakes. Aside from the mileage, my biggest challenge was fueling. For this trip I had several requirements for my food: Lightweight
