Cranberry Pecan Rosemary Chicken Salad | Plum Pie My all-time favorite chicken salad has to be the cranberry chicken salad from Celebrity Cafe & Bakery in Dallas. I still hold a special place in my heart for Wrightsville Beach, NC’s best at Robert’s Market (in both regular and low-fat), but Celebrity’s crunchy, sweet cranberry version wins by a landslide. When I lived in Dallas, my office was conveniently located around the corner from Celebrity in Highland Park Village. At least once a week, I picked up the cranberry chicken salad, changing it up a bit each time by ordering either the sandwich version or the salad version (you know, when I was trying to be “healthy”). I’m sure you can imagine how tough the past two years have been without my weekly cranberry chicken salad fix. Here is where my recipe really diverges from the original inspiration. Now, I just need to figure out how to make those famous Celebrity iced cookies… Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Beetroot Leaf Soup | the beach house kitchen The Beet Leaves With beetroots like these who needs spinach?! Or something like that anyway. With a regular supply of these beauties almost year-round you can expect alot more beetroot dishes on the BHK! Now, the vast majority of Beach House readers are from over the pond, that is to say the USA. The beetroots we are buying at the moment from the farm all come with at least five crisp leaves and beautiful crimson roots. Freshly picked Oregano This is a basic soup recipe and the beetroot leaves can be substituted for beetroots themselves, or most other veg. As with most soups, its better the day after. I decided on oregano here, because it is blooming at the minute in the herb garden. We made a big vat of soup here, feel free to half the quantities for a more modest pan full. Makes one big pan full (eight bowls) The Bits Do It Beet leaves wilting Blitz it up! Serve In warm bowls, topped with some oregano leaves and fresh cracked black pepper. Beetroot Leaf Soup We Love It! Having a good slurp.
"Psych"-Inspired Cinnamon Pie I have a confession. I am completely hooked on "Pysch"--you know, that ridiculously crazy, crazily good, pseudo-pyschic comedy-drama mystery series on USA. It's this new obsession that I discovered a few weeks ago thanks to my husband and the good people at Netflix. Last week, we watched the "Dual Spires" episode, in which Shawn and Gus go to a small town to attend a cinnamon festival, but stay for the cinnamon pie (not to mention the not-unforeseen murder investigation).Comedic and investigative antics aside, the homemade cinnamon pie in the episode was impossible to forget. It was mouthwatering. It was sweet. There are a few cinnamon pie recipes floating around the Internet, but this one from Allrecipes seemed to have the most promise. But I've got to admit, it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. Next time (and there will definitely be a next time!) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
7 cheap and easy vegetarian meals Photo: Kelly Rossiter Many of us lead busy lives and everyone, especially those of us with families, is trying to get dinner on the table as quickly and easily as possible. Occasionally we fall back on using prepackaged meals from the grocery store or calling for takeout. Those meals have more fat, salt and sugar than we need, they produce a lot of garbage from the packaging and they are more expensive than cooking from scratch. In these uncertain economic times, we need to look at our food costs and start to spend more wisely. Here are seven recipes that will cover your dinners for a week, with some leftovers for lunch. Chickpea Curry My son eats a lot of tofu and I'm always encouraging him to add more legumes to his diet, so I decided on something with chickpeas. Beans with Tomatoes and Swiss Chard We actually ended up getting a number of meals from the Swiss chard I grew in my garden this summer, and I really enjoyed them. Vegetarian Chili Oriecchiette with Lentils, Onion and Spinach
Gluten Free Vegan Breakfast Cookies I’ve been wanting to experiment more with gluten free recipes since I have a few friends that eat gluten free and I am wanting to shy more away from it myself. These cookies are a result of that desire, and although they were kind of an experiment, they turned out so good I simply could not stop eating them (as in “6 cookies in one day” kind of good). My ingredients are simple: Peanut butter, banana, coconut oil, agave nectar, almonds and flaxseed. To keep them gluten free I opted for GF oats, oat flour, and almond meal. These cookies have some of the heartiest ingredients I know and love, making them more like a healthy snack than a true cookie. What you need to know about this recipe: -It requires just one bowl and about 30 minutes -It’s refined sugar and butter free -It’s vegan and gluten free -It’s makes the perfect take-along breakfast or snack -They’re seriously addicting…remember my 6 in one day comment? Yeah, ridiculously tasty. Gluten Free Vegan Breakfast Cookies Serves: 26 cookies
