A lot of times my recipe ideas aren’t really recipe ideas but flavor combinations that I just can’t get out of my head. This recipe is a perfect example. For days, I couldn’t stop thinking about how I wanted to make something with caramelized onions, apples, and gorgonzola cheese. I didn’t care what the recipe…
I’ve been making a conscious effort to eat better lately. No crazy stuff… I’ve just been trying to eat more veggies and a little less of everything else. Moderation. Fortunately, this time of the year, there is such a plethora of fresh produce available that it’s really been quite easy to incorporate more veggies into…
Here’s another vegetarian dish for you (actually, if you skip the cheese on top, it’s a vegan dish!)… You’re shocked, I’m sure! When I was trying to pick out my vegetarian menu last week, I handed my hubby a few cookbooks and told him to pick out some dishes that sounded good. I figure, if…
I don’t love salads… Especially ones with a lot of lettuce. I know that I have admitted that before… And, it’s pretty prohibitive when it comes to trying to incorporate more salads into my diet and cut back on meat. Though I would love to replace meat with pasta and cheese and dine on that…
I am always looking for new ways to prepare vegetables. During the winter, I typically do a lot of roasting. Who doesn’t love roasted vegetables?
The thing is, sometimes I don’t plan ahead of time. Roasted vegetables take time and require preheating the oven. That’s when I usually turn to a skillet. Lately, I’ve been using my cast iron skillet a lot, and let me tell you, it preheats much more quickly than my oven does!
Last week, I received a sample of Tasteful Selections potatoes. It’s not often that I receive samples of fresh produce, so I jumped at the chance. From the moment they arrived, I couldn’t wait to start cooking with them. I was especially drawn to the Sunrise Medley that contained gold, red, and purple potatoes.
Sometimes I get so caught up in worrying about the main dish that I’m making for dinner that I tend to neglect the sides. Can you relate?
With Thanksgiving around the corner, you’ve probably already thought about the perfect recipe for a roast turkey and may have already settled on the perfect stuffing, too. But, if you’re much like me, you may have neglected to worry about what vegetables to make. Unfortunately, they don’t prepare and cook themselves.
So, this week, I thought I’d share my super simple recipe (if you can really call it a recipe) for Balsamic roasted vegetables. It’s my go to recipe for vegetables in the fall and winter (and once in a while the spring and summer, too!)… It’s easy to throw together and can just hang out in the oven while your other dishes are cooking/baking. Plus, it’s a favorite with my family and friends. In fact, my husband actually gets excited when he sees me prepping roasted vegetables. Who would have thought?
This month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge is flying by… In fact, it’s almost time for this month’s roundup. I’ll be posting everyone’s Kitchen Bootcamp salads and dressings on Saturday, so you still have a few days to submit a post. I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone’s been working on! In the meantime, I thought I’d…
One of the dishes I was served by Chef April Bloomfield at the Spotted Pig on my trip to NYC was a wonderful root vegetable soup. The soup she prepared was simple, but very flavorful, allowing the flavor of vegetables to stand out. Ever since, I have been in the mood to experiment with root vegetables….
I have to admit that I’ve been feeling like I’m in a bit of a blogging slump again lately. I seem to have lost some steam since my trip to NYC. As a result, I’m not feeling especially “wordy” as I write this week’s Friday Favorites. So, let’s get right down to business… The first order…
It has been 1 year since I started blogging and sharing my recipes here at My Kitchen Addiction… Can you believe it? It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been a whole year already… In fact, it was so hard to believe that I totally forgot about it earlier this week (Jan 18th was…
