Thai Recipes. Stuffed Zucchini. I like the simple things in life.

Stuffed Zucchini

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!

Peppermint Mocha Frappe with Coconut Milk. I used to be an absolute mint-chocolate hater.

Anything containing any semblance of that flavor combination sent me running, especially when it came to desserts. No, I wouldn’t like any peppermint patties, thank you very much. But then, something happened. I don’t know if it was the Andes mint that won me over, the multiple times I’d watched my boss’s husband slurp down a mint chocolate chip shake looking sublimely at peace, or the one time I was desperate for ice cream and the only flavor my aunt had on hand was mint chip and I maybe kind of slightly enjoyed it a little bit but didn’t want to admit it.

Yes, something changed. This chilled coffee beverage is quite a delight and SO easy to make! This would make a perfect breakfast companion, afternoon treat or evening dessert.

The low-fat mix is tucked inside whole wheat pasta and baked until bubbling and golden brown. What happens when one little family of four cooks a 20 pound turkey at Thanksgiving? Well, either we eat until we balloon up and float to the ceiling, or we find plenty of ways to use the leftovers. Of course, a hot turkey sandwich – open-faced, topped with stuffing and cranberry sauce and smothered with gravy, please – is always an option. And I can’t resist my favorite Turkey, Brie, Pear & Cherry Chipotle Panini. And don’t think that you have to wait until Thanksgiving rolls around to make this.

The recipe: Homemade Apple Chips. Well, the holidays are over and what a whirlwind it was.

And so much fun. My brothers and their families came to visit and I did a ton of cooking for that, including an enormous batch of chicken ragu, which I smartly froze ahead of time. That was a timesaver. I made big pork loins stuffed with one of my favorite stuffings. I also made Jamie's Peanut Butter Parfaits which were a big hit.
