By Leave a Comment

Quinoa Grilled Vegetables

I love quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah), I have shared a few quinoa recipes here on my blog with you like healthy quinoa salad, roasted vegetable salad with quinoa and my quinoa and black rice cakes (one of my first posts ever).  Today I am sharing a new quinoa recipe combining two of my favorites, quinoa and grilled vegetables.  I was inspired to creating this recipe because of a visit to Paul Martin’s in Westlake Village, the manager, Paul, brought out the dish which I fell in love with…click here to read my review on Paul Martin’s.

Curry Naan with Avocado, Tomato & Basil

By Leave a Comment

curry naan

If you had told me that one day I would be doing a post and sharing a recipe that included curry with naan I would have told you you were crazy as curry and naan are not ingredients I typically keep around the house nor think about using them together in a recipe…I was wrong, on both accounts as I do keep both curry and naan in my house and I’m here today blogging about it.

Potato Leek

They say “a way to a mans heart is through his stomach”…well, the way to my heart is a nice, hot cup of soup and yes I went there!  I was at a friends house during the holidays and she made a potato leek soup that was amazing.  Normally I would ask for the recipe as I share mine so why wouldn’t she share hers…I never asked, I also never stopped thinking about that soup.

Baked Tamale Pie with Polenta

By Leave a Comment

tamale pieTamale pie can be made so many different ways, most of the recipes I had found use tortilla as the tamale part and layering it like a lasagna.  For my recipe, I use prepared polenta instead of the tortilla as traditional tamales use masa.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

By Leave a Comment

cauliflower pizza

Cauliflower has been the big “switch out” when it comes to eating healthy or gluten free.  I know I substituted cauliflower for potatoes for a dinner party recently and while I could taste the slight difference, it wasn’t so bad that I wouldn’t do it again.  Cauliflower pizza crust has been popping up on all my food sites for over a year now and I have been meaning to try it but it looked like a lot of work so I have been passing.  One year later and a detox motivated me to try a recipe for cauliflower pizza and I am glad that I did try it….

Roasted Vegetable Salad with Quinoa

By Leave a Comment

Roasted Salad

I love rooted roasted vegetables in the fall which then leads into enjoying them for the winter.  Usually when I make them I tend to use the roasted vegetables as side dishes, as a staple, I tend to use carrots, parsnips and brussle sprouts which I think is a pretty good combination.  Recently I had a follower, Jim, send me their favorite recipe for roasted vegetables for the winter, it included beets and bok choy.  I had never roasted bok choy so I thought this could be an interesting recipe to experiment with and it would allow me to explore something new, I’m glad I did.  I do make an amazing beet salad, where the beets are roasted in the oven and I love that recipe so when I had seen that this recipe had beets I thought why not try it.
