This is a great appetizer to go alongside any Asian themed meal. They are not difficult to make nor do they contain any costly ingredients. Plus, they are easy to change up to fit your own personal taste. I have made this particular recipe a few times and have been very happy with how it…
Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Oatmeal Cake
Quick breads, muffins, coffee cakes etc. are great because they are so simple to make and they are very delicious. This chocolate chip cinnamon oatmeal cake was gone in a day and a half. For this recipe, I started by soaking my rolled oats in milk while I measured out the dry ingredients. After that,…
Toasted Veggie Wrap
This is just a simple and easily customized wrap recipe. I served this for dinner with mushroom onion soup and oven roasted potato wedges. It was so satisfying! We have been reducing the animal products in our diet for several reasons and this vegetarian meal was truly enjoyable. You can use whatever fillings you would…
Mushroom Onion Soup
I don’t know how your weather has been, but ours is back and forth between warm sunny days and cold rainy days. A nice hot soup helps take the chill off! Usually, I find onion soup made with beef stock. I both didn’t have any and have been trying to eat less animal products lately….
Buttermilk Pancakes
While I enjoy whole wheat pancakes, sometimes it is nice to have something a little more traditional. These buttermilk pancakes are fluffy and full of flavor! These are quick and simple, especially if you have a large pan or a griddle to cook on. Melt your butter and make sour milk if you haven’t got…
Savory Kidney Bean Tostadas with Cabbage Slaw
This recipe had it all. The decadent crunch of the fried tortilla is the first flavor and texture you encounter. Savory red beans offered a creamy, melt in your mouth feel. The corn and black bean salsa added sweet and tangy flavors with fresh corn bursting with luscious juices with every bite. The piquant acidity…
Corn and Black Bean Salsa
I had some leftover oven roasted corn that I wanted to use up and decided to make this salsa as a topping for kidney bean tostadas. I was aiming for something sweet and slightly tangy and this worked out perfectly. As usual, I started off with dried beans. You could easily use a can of…
Whole Wheat Flatbread
I love the consistency of flatbreads- so soft and chewy! I also like to make flatbread because it is faster to prepare in comparison to other yeast breads as this only rises once and is cooked on the stovetop. The beginning of the recipe starts the same as any yeast bread recipe, however. Dissolve and…
Easiest Oven Roasted Corn
I really can’t say enough how much I love recipes that are easy and convenient yet delicious. This corn recipe is my favorite to do use in the summer when corn is both inexpensive and most flavorful. Here is how you do it: take your corn, husk and all, and stick it in the oven….
Classic Meatloaf
What I love about this type of meatloaf is the contrast between the savory meat and the slightly sweet tomato topping. I like to start with salting the ground beef and letting it sit refrigerated for about an hour or overnight. I try to do this with most meats when I remember. Basically, the salt…
