What’s for Dinner
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…
Dinner in Minutes; Frittata
One of the easiest main dishes you can whip up for a family dinner is an Italian Frittata! It is also one of the best ways to incorporate veggies into your kids’ diets. Remember that when you sauté zucchini and onions to the point of being caramelized they are sweet and delicious.So if your kids are of the mind-set that anything green tastes yucky, try sautéing to bring out the sugars; they probably will like th…
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…
Quick & Easy: Peanut Chicken Noodles
Sooo… It started when I asked my son “What do you want for dinner tonight?”. Immediate answer: “Macaroni & Cheese” Translation: Bright orange and from a box of course. Confession: I do have a weakness for the boxed Mac & Cheese, and I do make it better than anyone*, but…. it’s not exactly a healthy dinner. I countered with a No on that one, and he says…
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 meat you eat is to just have less of when you do have it. So this is a “light” meat dinner. It doesn&…
Roasted Tomato & Cannellini Bean Chicken
This was one of those meals born of that situation where you just want to make something good with what you have on hand… that “wow, I’ve got all these giant cans of whole tomatoes with basil in my pantry, what can I do with that?” feeling. Chicken leg quarters were on sale the other day, so I bought two large packages. So I had chicken. And I was looking at my collection of canned goo…
Poulet Vol-au-Vent
The other evening Filippo and I dined at a marvelous new restaurant in downtown Sarasota, Brasserie Belge. The evening was marvelous from start to finish; starters were champagne and lobster croquettes, main was muscles for Filippo while I chose Vol-au-Vent and we finished with a shared Dame Blanche! I got to thinking ahead to dinner parties we have scheduled and wondered if the Vol-auVent would be some…
Vegetable Cutlet/ Patties
This good old cutlet recipe is not too technical to make and it also includes very simple ingredients which will be available in almost any Indian kitchen. These cutlets taste delicious just on it’s own, or served with ketchup. You can also enjoy these cutlets also as a burger with cheese melted on top. Special Instructions: Preparation Time: 30 minutes, Cooking Time: 40 minutes, Serves:4 Ingredi…
Goulash
Goulash is a very simple stew, traditionally it’s kept as simple as possible, with just meat, garlic and onion. A few vegetables like carrot, leeks and celery adds much more flavour. Don’t try to add any spices and transform this simple stew into curry( I’m saying this for people like me, who tries to add spices in all different types of food). Prepare the way , how it meant to be, you̵…
