That sounds fair right? I like to be fair. So fair that I even took some pictures of broccoli. Oye. It was a complete snafu, I swear. Clocking in as my least favorite vegetable (well, minus the eight or so that I flat out refuse to taste), these little green trees here are creeping me out more than my weirdo man crush on Alec Baldwin. Wait… no… I don’t know. What I do know is that this chicken made my house smell like 4000 cloves of cheesy garlic (in a delicious way) and my mouth was watering as I scooped it on top of some whole wheat orzo.

It has been quite dark and dreary and gloomy around these parts the last few days and I’ve craved some color in my life. I threw open the fridge door in a frenzy because if the holiday season taught my blood sugar anything, it’s that I’m starving every 20 seconds. But inside that crisper drawer? I quickly steamed it, which by the way… made my house smell like utter garbage. Grilled Shrimp and Cilantro Pesto Pizza Recipe : Bobby Flay. Mozzarella Stuffed Homemade Meatballs.

Someday, science will catch up with my summertime needs and create a popsicle that sustains life. Until then, I’m looking for every shortcut that will keep me from having to turn on the stove or oven any more than absolutely necessary. Today, my shortcut was a big batch of Pasta with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Creamy Lemon-Yogurt Sauce. Yes, I had to turn on the stove, but only for about 15 minutes. No biggie. And in return, I made enough of this healthy, satisfying pasta to give me lunch for the next four days.

The only time-consuming thing about this pasta is slicing the zucchini. That said, don’t get too anal about the slicing. As for the lemon-yogurt sauce, I know what you’re thinking: can’t I just use lemon-flavored yogurt? No, because lemon-flavored yogurts are sweetened, and you don’t want your pasta sauce to taste like pie filling. The sauce itself is just a quick blend of plain Greek yogurt, Parmesan, lemon zest, salt and pepper. I guess the all-popsicle diet can wait. Chicken, Wild Mushroom and Roasted-Garlic Sauté.

When frozen you can put them in large freezer bags and label them so you can take out as many or few pieces as you want at a time. If you don't want to make such a large amount, you can easily halve this recipe and make in a square baking dish as I did in the photo above.

Chicken-Pesto Skewers recipe. Baked Zucchini Sticks and Sweet Onion Dip: that bloomin' zucchini! Today, class, it being late July and all, we’re going to examine our zucchini facts: •Zucchini is always at the end of any A-to-Z food list; •Zucchini and fruitcake are the undeserving targets of many a joke; •The zucchini plant literally grows like a weed, making it absolutely ubiquitous in vegetable gardens across America; •And for that reason, enterprising cooks have discovered ways to turn it into muffins, and cake, and pancakes, and… Baked Zucchini Sticks. You know that onion appetizer that came into bloom back in the late ’80s? Outback Steakhouse claims it invented the “Bloomin’ Onion” back in 1988, and it wasn’t long before quasi-fast food restaurants adopted it as the hottest appetizer since artichoke dip baked in a bread bowl.

Kelsey was over for dinner the other week and we both contributed whatever vegetables we had in our fridge.

Our plan was to make a big pot of quinoa, grill a boat-load of veggies, top them with goat cheese + avocado, eat from a massive bowl, and feast. I started the pot of quinoa with a few Italian seasonings thrown in before thinking about how we were going to spice the veggies. Then I asked Kelsey what flavor she was in the mood for, for the veggies.
