If you haven’t noticed we have been on an international kick the last few posts. First, we did the aebleskiver, then the cilantro lime quinoa, now this antipasto! We knew we wanted to do something in the Italian family, so instead of doing a heavy pasta dish, I went with this fresh antipasto. I decided…
Prawns with Banana Salsa
My sister-in-law’s husband works for this amazing place; The Meat & Fish Co. They are based in Charlotte, NC and have a storefront in this cute little market downtown. They also supply the freshest meat and seafood to the best restaurants all over the world. They have a commitment to quality and freshness that shows in…
Clean Eating Whole Wheat Aebleskiver
Yum My husband’s side of the family has some strong Danish roots. His grandmother was adamant that each of her grandchildren learn as much as possible about what that meant to her. And, mostly it meant food. She was an amazing cook. I have heard legendary stories about the food she created over the years….
Stuffed Pepper Soup
This recipe is one I made up after having a similar soup at a friend house last year. I was never really a green pepper fan. I mean, I ate them because I should, they have so much vitamin C. But this soup completely made me a pepper convert! I’ve made it a couple of…
Herbed Sweet Potato Hash
Yum This is has become one of my go-to breakfast recipes. We eat it all the time in our house. Breakfast, dinner, snack…whenever I have some sweet potatoes around, I make this! I added this recipe to my repertoire when we recently cut white potatoes out of our diet. We used to eat white potatoes…
Spicy Tomato Garlic Mussels
The hubby loves all things seafood. So for his Valentine’s Day gift this year I decided to make him a delicious meal of mussels. I don’t have a lot of experience with them so I tested the recipe a few times before perfecting it enough to serve. From the research I did, mussels are complete…
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
I was looking for something fun for Valentine’s Day this year. Because let’s face it, once you have kids, its no longer just about you and your sweetie. My daughter loves chocolate and strawberries, so I thought it was the perfect kitchen activities for us. But, as I was making these I kept thinking how fun it would be to make this with my hubby. I mean I had chocolate ALL over. It would have been fun to have someone there to help me lick it off. (Ha, sorry trying to get in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, and after 7 years of marriage you have to take what you can get.)
Local Cows, Local Place, Local Beer…yum
If you read our blog regularly, you know that I live in a small-ish town in central Virginia. We are about 30 miles from Charlottesville, with a mountain in between, which makes it seem like 100 miles. The best thing about the area where I live is the availability of local farm goods like; produce, diary, meat, eggs, and poultry.
Green Olive Hummus
I didn’t realize how much I loved green olives until I made this hummus. Mario Specialty Food sent us some olives and asked us to help them create some healthy recipes. Originally I thought I’d make a tapinade, but decided to go with a hummus instead. I’m so glad I did. The green olives simply extend the olive oil flavor in the hummus and it so so yummy.
Clean Eating Super Bowl Game Plan
Are you ready for some football? I know I am. I love all things football. (I know I sound like a broken record.) But, I thought I’d share my menu for the upcoming festivities. I will be showcasing some of my favorite My Clean Kitchen recipes plus a salad. Have to get the extra greens…
