Roasted Tomato Hummus Recipe. Recipe For Creamy White Bean Veggie Dip. Healthy Pizza. Perfect Pairing: Pizza craving… on a diet Even though I live in the third largest city in America which is chock full of good restaurants that deliver to your doorstep, I rarely order food for delivery. I love the concept, but I am intimidated by it at the same time, as ridiculous as that sounds. I grew up in the country where not even the local Pizza Hut would deliver. The thought of having food brought to your door was exotic! I have lived in Chicago for almost 7 years and I can count on one hand how many times I have had food delivered. I don’t want to knock the famous deep dish Chicago pizza, because it is really something to appreciate, but I prefer thin crust. The Perfect Pairing for this Healthy Pizza concept is a pizza craving… while on a diet. I started using Flat Out Wraps years ago but it took me a few attempts before I figured out the best way to use them for pizza crust.

Perfect Pairing: Refrigerator leftovers Recently I had a wonderful winter retreat with some of my very best girlfriends at my family’s lake house. There was a lot of chatting, sipping wine, and relaxing. We each took charge of a couple of meals and ate really well over the weekend. I wanted to do something fun and different for one of the breakfasts and came across an idea for eggs in a bread bowl. Not only were these guys delicious, they were completely customizable. I recommend using a crusty French bread roll for this recipe. The Perfect Pairing for this recipe is whatever you have leftover in your refrigerator! I will definitely be making these again! Customizable Bread Bowl Breakfast Lindsay at Perfecting the Pairing Ingredients: · 8 crusty bread rolls · 2 Tb butter, melted · Salt and pepper · Assorted fillings* · 8 eggs Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Let your guests fill the roll with their favorite toppings*. Simple Appetizer Recipe: Raw Zucchini Ribbons with Parmesan Recipes from The Kitchn. After years of world travel and dining out in everything from hole-in-the-wall joints in Laos to the finest finery of Paris's restaurants, the real food luxury for me when I travel now is to cook in, using the most simple ingredients, listening to local radio, and serving on the most grandmotherly plates.

Recently while on the road, I made a version of a salad that I love at the height of summer: shaved zucchini with Parmesan and olive oil. When it's too hot to cook and all you have is a vegetable and a hunk of cheese, this is your new go-to dish. I've made this a dozen times at least, but for some reason have neglected to share it on the site until I realized last week in a tiny little shack by the sea that this is a great dish when you're limited in ingredients and tools. I didn't even have the basil I usually like on top, but it was still delicious because the quality of the cheese and zucchini was so high. I know it doesn't look like much, but I promise it'll hit the spot. Oven-Roasted Tomato Jam. Sometimes a recipe arises from a confluence of ideas and inspiration -- a convergence of influence, flavor, and downright craving. This recipe is one of those.

It was inspired by Laurie Colwin's rapturous description of a long-roasted tomato "condiment" she ate to excess at a party. The recipe she received from a waiter was vague at best. We thought we detected hints of it, though, in Elizabeth's stewed cinnamon-spiked tomatoes. So going on a whim and whiff, we went in pursuit of garlicky, long-roasted, soft and smeary tomato jam. Fresh tomatoes going into the oven with plenty of garlic and olive oil. Colwin describes a dish of tomatoes baked for a very, very long time in the oven with a great quantity of garlic and olive oil. Hmm, we thought. The result was heavenly. Softened tomatoes after the first phase of baking. We've made this a few times now, with fresh tomatoes and with canned. The finished tomato jam, just coming out of the oven. Heat the oven to 325°F. Related: Spinach, Feta, and Tomato Quiche Recipe.

Late Summer Recipe: Farro Risotto with Corn and Tomatoes Recipes from The Kitchn. I love when I am pleasantly surprised by a new recipe, as I was with this creamy, comforting farro risotto. (Although in hindsight, what's not to like?) It's just that all this talk about whole grains lately has had me lingering in culinary limbo—part of me has tried very hard to ignore the health-nut hype while the other part has been wondering what exactly I am missing.

I decided to dip my toe in the water with a classic risotto, using farro instead of the more traditional arborio rice. I was inspired when I saw this stunning recipe in the current Bon Appétit; the flavors were familiar enough to pull me in, and yet different enough to make me excited for something new. I went off course from the magazine, and instead used the failproof method I learned in culinary school, one that has never before steered me wrong.

In typical risotto fashion, it is not a quick-fix meal, but the results are so satisfying and delicious that it is worth every minute it takes to prepare. Serves 4. Halloumi and Watermelon Bites with Basil-Mint Oil. Yes, it’s a long name, isn’t it? But I urge you to give this one a chance. It’s watermelon season, and unless you have an army to feed, you may run into the issue of having lots of leftover watermelon in your fridge (if you buy a whole melon, of course). And while bits of ice cold watermelon with maybe a little red pepper flakes and sea salt are extremely delicious, a girl needs more options when it comes to watermelon dishes. I had this recipe bookmarked for several reasons. 1). Watermelon-it’s the classic summer fruit. 2). Halloumi. Anyways, I figured I would give this recipe a go.

I will definitely be making this again. Halloumi and Watermelon Bites with Basil-Mint Oil Servings: Approximately 10 2-inch pieces (I halved the original recipe) Ingredients 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped 1 garlic clove, chopped (1 clove) 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 4-5 ounces Halloumi cheese, in 1/2-inch thick slices **I cut the slices into halves so that they would be bite-size.

Lasagna Primavera. *I’ve updated another two of my favorite recipes with new pictures and notes added to the recipe: This delicious basil coconut curry and one of the most delicious ways to serve up pork tenderloin. My husband’s comment mid-forkful of this lasagna: “Who knew a veggie lasagna could be so filling!” And I breathed a sigh of relief since I wasn’t sure how this meatless meal would be received. Of course, that was after his third piece, but even still, this lasagna is hearty and is packed, I mean packed, with vegetables.
