Eggplant Parmesan. The Stay At Home Chef: Lemon Garlic Roasted Broccoli. Baked Zucchini Chips. Well I said last week that I'd probably be up to my old tricks by now.
But much to my own surprise, I decided to try another 'healthy' recipe I've been thinking about - zucchini chips! If you ever look at the sidebar of my blog that lists 'popular recipes' you will see that Apple Chips are number one. They have been for a while now, but the funny part is that they are number one by a landslide. Mr. Vittles occasionally looks over my shoulder while I'm reviewing my blog's stats, and he is always so amused by the fact that the Apple Chips completely dwarf every other post.
This fact is absurdly evident by a bar graph that shows the top 10 posts' all-time number of views... basically one long bar, with a whole bunch of short ones beneath it. Up until this week (when Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips suddenly blew up on Pinterest) the Apple Chips had four times more views than the 2nd most popular post.

One of the things I knew I wanted to get was a small baking dish suitable for making reduced portions of tasty baked entrees like macaroni and cheese or enchiladas. I pretty much only ever cook for 2-3 people and since we try to mind how much we eat, making a massive casserole dish of cheesy carby crack is a dangerous idea. We either end up eating seconds (ahem.. thirds) or having too many leftovers the following day.
Getting a smaller dish means each of us gets a reasonable amount of food with no temptation for trips back to the kitchen and no wasted food. Glazed Carrots Recipe : Melissa d'Arabian.

This year, several friends and I started an informal dinner party club.
Each month, we take turns hosting; the hostess makes the entrée, and everyone else is assigned a supplementary dish like a salad, appetizer, or dessert. Most recently, I was assigned the appetizer to go with a baked cheese and sausage ziti. What to serve, I pondered, with a hearty pasta and a rich frozen dessert? The answer turned out to be a hot, creamy spinach dip, made healthier with the addition of reduced-fat sour cream and a greater proportion of spinach. Light yet indulgent, it was a nice, green start to what would be a filling meal.

Roasted Mushrooms. It’s pretty amazing I even stopped to read the original recipe, the title of which was Roasted Mushrooms Escargot-Style, by Gourmet. First of all, slimy creatures have never been my friends. I almost gag to remember the original title and what it references, but we must credit our sources here, and it wouldn’t do the awesome Gourmet.com any credit to leave out what inspired this recipe. This also makes it clear to me that the only good part of eating snails is what the blasted things are cooked in.
If anyone ever brings me some on a plate, though, I promise you I could outrun an Olympic medalist getting away from them. From the snails, I mean. Traveling in Italy: Cold Pasta with Burrata & Slow Roasted Tomatoes and the Ancient Town of Matera. Burrata had been in my mind for days and I couldn't shake it away.So I went out and started looking for one.
It's not like mozzarella that you can find everywhere. It's like a mushroom that pops out in the shops at random times. And like a good mushroom, it's hard not to pick it and take it home. This time though, I was hunting for it. After three supermarkets, I hit the jackpot and took home my small bundle of joy. This little bundle of joy can be easily mistaken for mozzarella because of the resemblance of their exterior.
The burrata I bought had been earmarked to join the remaining slow roasted tomatoes that I recently made for a plate of cold pasta and I couldn't wait to put them together. Slow roasted tomatoes have become staple in our house after I made them the first time last July. Matera is in the south of Italy, in the Basilicata region, right next to Puglia. Matera had been inhabited since the Paleolithic period and grew with later stages of human settlement over the years. Cream of Spinach Soup. Smoked Southwestern Burgers.
