Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This recipe sounds decadent but it's not. It's actually a healthy update on plain old banana bread. Whole wheat flour replaces white. Instead of oil, I use peanut butter as well as less sugar than the average banana bread recipe. This bread is not overly sweet; the sweetness comes mostly
Rainbow Trout baked in Parchment
I guess I could have gone all fancy and said Rainbow Trout En Papillote, but I didn't want to scare anyone away. This is honestly an easy, relatively foolproof, dish that has a great presentation! It would be an excellent idea for a small dinner party, as fish can be prepped and wrapped ahead of t
Easy Thai Pork Noodle
There's been a lot of talk lately about cutting our meat consumption, (either for your health, or money savings, or for the planet) but if your family is anything like mine, they tend to expect meat for most dinners. Rather than doing vegetarian meals, another way to reduce the amount of m
Muscadine Wine Poached Pears
[Originally published 2-18-2010] I had beautiful Bosc Pears in my organic produce box this week and decided to try some poached pears. One of my favorite cookbooks is Clean Food by Terry Walters and I found a poached pear recipe there that I adapted to what I had on hand. We make our own M
Spotlight: Black Bean Burgers
I was just thinking about making black bean burgers the other day, and then I ran across these vegan Black Bean Burgers today at Can You Stay For Dinner. This was just the kind of recipe I was looking for. A black bean burger, or patty, should not try to replicate a hamburger, but revel in the f
Goat Cheese, Corn and Shrimp Wraps
These wraps are quick to prepare and oh so tasty. The ingredients are simple, and flexible with what you might happen to have in your kitchen--so be creative! And the side dish of your choice, and you have a great weeknight dinner that takes less than 30 minutes to get on the table. Goat Ch
Healthy Snack! Oven Dried Potato Chips (Crisps)
Irish blog The Daily Spud brings us this fabulous idea -- Oven dried potato crisps (chips to us Yanks). Salt & Vinegar... mmmm!! Wouldn't these be cute served in little paper food baskets? And not fried, so they are actually a healthy snack... I'm wondering how these would come out in a s
Summer Shrimp Sushi
If you've never tried to make sushi rolls (maki) before, it's a fun thing to try... especially if you have a little helper like I did. It makes a great appetizer or first course for a dinner party--or add a salad or some steamed edamame, and I'd eat it for dinner by itself! It also could be fu
Beet Salad with Goat Cheese
This is an excellent salad recipe that I posted at my Gaia's Greens website a couple of weeks ago when we had beets in our organic produce boxes. It is quickly becoming a favorite in my house!! The combination of flavors is just perfect and it's fast and easy to make. So many people
Fresh Squash 2 Ways
Our 2010 crop is in full swing with yellow and zucchini squash topping the list of most prolific. In spite of the fact that we've eaten squash with almost every meal for the last week or so, I still love it and am always looking for new ways to prepare it. I decided to test a new Squash Pi
