One-Dish
Bewitching Strawberries Salad
Besides the bright red colour, I like Strawberries for their amazing nutritional facts; their antioxidants, vitamins & minerals help fight diseases. Most of all, they’ve anti-aging properties :) My Garden Glory consists of: Red & Green Oak leaves, Red Coral, Coriander, Parsley, Dill & Baby Chard. I’ve also added Sun Flower Seeds for some crunch.
Eastern European Potato-bake
An easy one-dish meal with Eastern European origins… Potato, zucchini, red bell pepper, with bacon and herbs baked in a pot. The potato baked with zucchini (squash), red bell pepper, onion, carrot, garlic and some meat is popular in Eastern Europe. (It’s cooked in Poland and Hungary, in Ukraine and Czech Republic) In each region it has different twist though. Even in my family it’s cooked differen…
Rocking Rooster Burgers
I’m having loads of fun exploring burgers this week and actually, so is my husband Filippo! Today we’re using another alternate protein, chicken. I wanted to create a hearty burger that would satisfy a big manly appetite or even a teenage boy who loves his big meaty burgers. So after some experimenting I settled on a ground chicken burger stuffed with a mixture of fresh rosemary, sundried tomatoes and mozz…
Angry Birds Onigiri Lunch Box
An idea struck me when it was my son’s lunch box day on Fridays. Jon loves Onigiri, so I decided to make him an Angry Birds Lunch Box! Angry Birds, the popular & best-selling mobile game, has taken the world by storm. The game is about these birds who’re angry because their eggs were stolen by a bunch of green pigs. Since they can’t fly, they’ve to use a giant slingshot to catapult themselves to destroy those…
Moroccan Harira
Harira is a Moroccan soup served during Ramadhan and any special occasions. It can be served as a meal by itself or you can also serve it as a starter. Moroccan Cuisine is extremely diverse, mostly influenced by Arab and Mediterranean cuisine. When I think of Moroccan Cuisine the first thing which comes to my mind is Moroccan Tajine and when I think of Tajine’s, the first think which I remember is , The t…
Arroz con Pollo (Chicken and Rice)
After searching for quite some time for an authentic Arroz con Pollo recipe I gave up and created my own. It took me a number of tries but I have finally perfected it. And now, I no longer have to fly all the way to Spain to enjoy this dish! From the original site: I like to add extra vegetables to what ever I am cooking, hence the peas and/or roasted peppers. Traditionally, these aren’t added (at least not in…
Fresh Corn Salad with Spicy Shrimp and Tomatoes
This stunning salad is so summer. Made with fresh tomatoes, corn and bell pepper, it almost made me forget that it’s 99 degrees outside today. I love the bright colors. My grandmother always said that you should try to always make sure your table is multi-colored – never put out a meal that is monochromatic! It’s dressed with a zesty mixture of lime juice, vinegar, olive oil and chile pep…
Impromptu Cran-Apple Tuna Salad with Fresh Herbs
Sometimes you need lunch or dinner, and you just don’t want to fuss with an actual recipe. I had 2 cans of tuna in olive oil and 4 hungry people, and it was lunchtime. What to make? This emerged from improvisation! From the original site: Add Craisins and a chopped apple for sweetness, a handful of fresh herbs for pungency, and a couple of easy sliced veggies (celery, orange bell pepper) for color and cru…
Green Chile and Chicken Donuts
We love to spotlight really interesting food ideas here on foodwhirl, and here is one that definitely qualifies from Lara Ferroni. Savory rather than sweet donuts, plus chicken and chile? Awesome! Since I basically started my whole doughnut obsession around Cinco de Mayo with margarita doughnuts, what better way to jump into savory doughnuts than this: green chile and chicken doughnuts! Oh, sure,…
Cooking with Kids: Ricotta Bake
I love meal ideas that let the kids be involved in the process. This Ricotta Bake by Just Jenn looks tasty and simple to put together. Jenn Says: This is one of my favorite meals. Why? Because I have the kids do most of the work. If your kids are old enough (and you have the right mindset of letting go of mess) why not let the kids mix and stir and pour? It’s a big help in the kitchen and by getting involved – I know my kid…
