Here’s another green smoothie recipe that I like a lot. Tastes great, and these are also awesome for using up fruit that may be on its last legs. This one is my favorite so far.
Throw it all in the blender and liquify it. 🙂 Makes a great breakfast!
So I’m on this weird green smoothie kick. I’ve been feeling pretty gross physically from all the holiday eating, and lots of eating out during our recent move. On a particularly bad day, I picked up one of those Naked green smoothies in the bottle, and felt about 1000% better. So, I decided to bust out the blender and give it a go at home!
Stick it in a blender and go to town! Trust me, it’s delicious!
We have delivery Indian, and we like to order it. A lot. Our eyes are always bigger than our stomachs, and we tend to get a lot of naan bread. There’s just nothing as good as fresh, hot naan! The “problem” is that it leaves a lot left over, and I was looking for something new to do with it – out came a naan pizza. I just used what I had on hand in the fridge and it came out well! It makes a great little personal pizza.
This is a great base recipe to use for a side dish. It is very versatile…add as many veggies as you want, or even add some chicken, pork, or tofu and turn it into a main dish. I just used what I had on hand. It also makes plenty, so can easily serve a crowd or make leftovers for lunch. We loved this one.
Well, I’d had something more elaborate planned for the first meal in our new house. But then I ran out of time to go to the store because I much preferred riding the horse and unpacking to the grocery store on football Sunday. Cook with what was in the meager post-move fridge it was, and this is what resulted! Last of the Thanksgiving ham, some leftover cream, some cheese…and here we are. We were quite pleased with it!
One of my all time favorites, and Shawn’s too…I guess it’s the New England in us both! This was a great treat on Thanksgiving-eve and we’re thinking it’s a new holiday tradition for us. This would be excellent with fresh clams, however canned whole baby clams or steamers are perfectly great as well. Definitely a favorite and makes tons of leftovers!
Great side salad that you can adjust however you like. I’ve used walnuts, hazelnuts, cranberries, goat cheese, feta, etc. I do prefer that the oil used in the dressing go with the nuts, but you could play with that as well.
This was a recipe from Cooking Light that I first tried a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was…somehow I’ve forgotten about it until recently. This is fast, easy, and very tasty, and makes a very nice fall/winter dish. You could substitute chicken breast instead of thighs, but I prefer dark meat. Recipe is as printed…though maybe with some extra olives. 😉 Great with any green vegetable side.
Great side that’s festive enough for a holiday, but great for a weeknight dinner too! We love this one and make it a lot…asparagus is one of our favorites.
Preheat oven to 400. Spread out asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and toss with garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes or until done to your taste.
Kefta is a ground, seasoned meat mixture from the Middle East and is usually made from ground beef or lamb. This is a somewhat healthier take on the dish using turkey in place of the red meat. I’ve made this dish a few times, and really like it every time. The only tweak I ever make from the original is to double the Ras El Hanout spice mixture (which you can get from a store such as Penzey’s or make yourself). The original came from Cooking Light a few years ago. I served this over couscous with roasted root vegetables on the side.
Om nom nom!
