Chocolate Mousse Recipe. Broccoli-Chicken Cups Recipe. Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken. Although I wish I was still away on vacation in sunny Florida, I am happy to be home cooking my own healthy meals again. It's not always easy eating healthy on vacation or in the airport. This dish is fairly simple to make and the whole family will love it. I ate two pieces with the remaining broccoli on the side for a perfect meal.

Part-skim mozzarella sticks coated with crispy seasoned breadcrumbs and baked until hot and golden. Serve them with my quick marinara sauce and you have yourself an appetizer everyone will love. Hot mozzarella sticks, I can't think of a more popular finger food with both kids and adults alike! I mean, what's not to like? Baking them as opposed to frying and using part skim cheese doesn't effect how good these are.

Of course, you'll want to serve them hot right out of the oven, because like any cheese, as they cool they harden. It actually took me several attempts to get these perfect. These are freezer friendly, in fact these MUST be frozen before you bake them or you will have one big cheesy mess in your oven!

Oven Baked Parmesan Seasoned Fries. These fries ROCK plain and simple. Funny how one would still call them "fries" when really they are not "fried" in anything. Nope, these fries are too sophisticated for greasy oil, and much like a skinny swim suit model they prefer to be lightly oiled, slightly accentuated by a few minor spices and baked lying on a cookie sheet basking in the golden glow of the oven, BUT the one thing that sets these fries apart from the skinny swim suit model is that you can actually LOVE them instead of secretly hating them :) When we were still in PA, my neighbors RAVED over them and I mean RAVED! They could smell the wonderful aroma coming from the windows in the spring and would say "Oh my gosh" someone is cooking something that smells delicious! I once made the mistake of calling them "healthy French fries" and very promptly these little fry guys lost their appeal— that is UNTIL they tasted them!!!

Oven Baked Parmesan Seasoned Fries NOTE: The amounts listed are for every one pound of fries. Stuffed Zucchini. I like the simple things in life. Simple ingredients, simple techniques, maximum flavor. But I guess you know that by now. Especially when you hand me a recipe that doubles as an appetizer or side dish, you just reel me in. Stuffed zucchinis are so versatile. It creates an endless amount of possibilities because almost anything goes with the smooth and silky flavor (and texture) of the zucchinis. So lately I’ve been wondering if there are easier and faster ways to prepare them. Now please, please, don’t tell me you’ve been doing it like this for 10 years straight! Ingredients: 1 tbsp sour cream 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp curry powder 1/2 tomato 1 tsp thyme 2 zucchinis 1 onion cheese pepper Optional: bacon Directions: Preheat your oven to 400 (200C).

Give the zucchini a good scrub. Slice them in half length-ways. Spoon out the guts. See the pink ‘bracelet’ I’m wearing? Now give the zucchini pulp a good chop, also chop a small onion and 1/2 a tomato while you’re at it. Hello, my pretties! Roasted Lemon Garlic Herb Shrimp. Recipe: Strawberry Basil Sangria. Made with Cline Cellar's Cool Climate Chardonnay, this sangria is crisp and refreshing. I added basil to this recipe for a few reasons but mostly to give the drink a clean finish.

And unlike most sangria, where the recipe is designed to cover up bad wine, this is quite the opposite. It was designed to showcase it. Enjoy! Prep time:5 minutes Total time: 15 minutes Yield: 1 pitcher Strawberry Basil Sangria Ingredients 1/2 pound fresh strawberries1 apple1 ounce fresh whole basil leaves1 bottle Cline Cellar Cool Climate Chardonnay1/2 cup organic sugar1 cup club soda1 cup white grape juice Cooking directions Trim and thinly slice the strawberries.

A burst of fresh deliciousness in every bite. it was about 2 1/2 hours before i needed to be at a party with a side dish in hand. i had a napping babe i did not want to wake just to go to the market. what ever i had on hand was going to have to suffice. i felt like i was on a cooking game show. what could i make that didn't LOOK like i'd totally forgotten i needed to bring something?? Thank goodness i had recently picked up a container of cherry tomatoes at costco that was still sitting in my pantry. i had also purchased a huge bag of mozzarella string cheese for the munch during that costco run. :: i obviously would have preferred buffalo mozzarella, but hey...beggars can't be choosers. i was on lock down with a napping baby :: low and behold a friend had given me a very large bunch of fresh basil just the day before. bite sized caprese salads for everyone!!

Mini Caprese Salad Bites Rinse and pat dry the cherry tomatoes. Favorite Recipes. Baked Parmesan Tomatoes Recipe. Fresh Cabbage Slaw. Finding a good slaw recipe is deceptively difficult. Or maybe we’re just slaw-challenged. For whatever reason, of the many we’ve tried over the years, we’ve yet to find one we truly liked. (They’ve been too oily, too cabbage-y, you name it.) Finally, we’ve found one we enjoy, with the help of the “Fresh” cookbook by Jennifer Houston and Ruth Tal. We based this recipe theirs, with a few tweaks, and found it to be flavorful, delicious, and yes, fresh! And, we were able to use some green cabbage from the Indy Winter Farmer’s Market! Enjoy!
