Whole-Wheat Peanut Butter Cookie
Here’s a whole some cookie (for kids and adults alike), with rich peanut flavour and the goodness and health benefits of whole wheat. From the original site: have some really good “whole-wheat” cookie recipes which I often make and since its summer vacation time, with the kids at home and constantly hungry, we decided to add peanut butter to make the cookies more “kid-friendly…
Ancient Omelette with Asparagus and Fresh Herbs
This is a recipe which survived almost 2000 years. It’s a lovely herbal omelette with asparagus and subtle hints of wine and olive oil. It’s not only ancient but also very healthy, with the addition of the asparagus and the aromatic herbs. This dish is perfect for breakfast or for a light vegetarian lunch. From the original site: Today I tried another ancient recipe. This one is from Apicius’ b…
Perkedel, Potato Corn Beef Patty
These potato patties are crispy on the outside & soft inside, really delicious. I like adding Corn Beef to my recipe but the meat is optional. You must try these if you haven’t & they’re not difficult to make at home. You could also mould them into cartoon shapes for fussy kids to make a lunch box for them!
Quinoa Chickpea Pilaf
I’d always wanted to try a recipe using Quinoa, but wasn’t quite sure where to begin. Honestly, it took me a while to even get the pronunciation right. I never tasted or used Quinoa previously but had always read so much about how quick and easy it is to cook. I knew I wanted to start somewhere and decided to experiment cooking to taste it just itself and see if this was something I and my family would enjoy. From th…

Strawberry Yogurt Parfait
I enjoy adding yogurt into everything I cook. So, in our household its a constant on the list of ‘staples’ on the weekly grocery list. With so many different kinds and brands available its tough at times to select ‘a’ specific kind. I use store bought and make it at home, when I can. Of the store bought ones I like the Greek style the most. Its much creamier and easy to work with. Yogurt with honey and…
Goat Cheese Spread (Dip) with Spinach-Basil Pesto
I’ve tried this recipe quite a few times and find this to be one of the simplest and easiest appetizers to put together both as a dip and a spread with some water crackers. From the original site: I customized this recipe for pesto by playing with the key ingredients. I use fresh basil and spinach leaves in a 1:1 ratio and this sort of avoids the intensity that you would get by just adding basil or replacing it ent…
Rice with Shrimp & Shimeji
Discovering exotic mushrooms at the supermarket can be fun. Especially when it makes you discover a brilliant Japanese Rice dish that’s bursting with flavour and spice. Yum. And oh, did I mention, so EASY! From the original site: It’s got a nice spicy flavour that hits the back of your throat, and smells divine!
Yam Ring Treasures
I’m featuring one of my dishes for my My Chinese New Year Feasts – Yam Ring Treasures. For the non-Chinese, this is a very popular dish for all occasions.
Capuccino Biscotti with Hazelnut and Almond
It’s great that this biscotti keeps for over a week, but it’ll never last that long in the jar. This recipe adapted from Sur la Table is quick, easy and unbelievably scrumptious! Make lots because you’ll want to wow everyone you know with it. From the original site: They are good make-ahead cookies and keep well in an airtight container for weeks. Theoretically. You probably won’t be ab…
