recipes for snackin recipes for the am vegetarian tuesday august 5 2014 shaved brussels sprouts it s a rare thing that i look at a menu see an item with the main ingredient of brussels sprouts and say to myself yes i think i ll order that it s probably just as rare that you ask your server what they think of a brussels sprouts dish and have them respond ooh that s one of my favorites but that s just what happened when sph and i had a dinner out at catch 54 restaurant recently maybe it was the setting of where we were eating or the fact that sph and i were alone without the boys maybe those things helped but honestly they were the best brussels sprouts i d ever eaten once we were home i started thinking about how i might replicate the recipe when during my restock the kitchen post vacation shopping trip i found these i bought the bag brought it home and got crackin on coming up with a recipe i think this comes pretty close although my kitchen can t hold a candle next to the view at catch 54 shaved brussels sprouts 1 16 ounce bag shaved brussels sprouts 1 2 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon canola oil 2 tablespoons honey 1 2 teaspoon salt 1 4 teaspoon pepper 1 4 cup

a huge banana fanatic but do like a good slice of banana bread and love a good ole frozen banana dipped in chocolate i had heard about the idea of pureeing frozen bananas to create ice cream but was skeptical i am no longer a skeptic super easy and a sweet guiltless treat frozen banana ice cream is a refreshing summer alternative to frozen yogurt or ice cream here s the easy way to make it frozen banana ice cream vegan gluten free 3 4 over ripe bananas optional 1 4 teaspoon vanilla extract toppings salty peanuts chocolate syrup sprinkles etc freeze the bananas overnight or for a few hours prepare your food processor as you allow the bananas to thaw about 5 10 minutes peel the bananas snapping them in half will help and place the chunks in the food processor along with the vanilla if

lovely but if you don t cook and prepare them with the right ingredients their inherent earthiness can overwhelm a dish this lovely lentil dish boasts lots of fresh bright flavors to wonderfully balance the earthiness of the lentils as an added bonus take the extra 5 10 minutes and simmer down some balsamic vinegar and create a homemade balsamic glaze this step transforms this dish from really good to off the charts good don t love lentils give em another try they re a rich source of fiber protein and other great for your nutrients lentil salad with balsamic glaze 2 cups dry lentils

baked salmon with creamy lemon dill sauce salmon you know it s good for you but maybe you find the strong flavor a bit off putting this may be the salmon recipe for you the creamy greek yogurt sauce that accompanies this salmon recipe is fresh bright and both complements and subdues the fish y flavor of the salmon in other words this could be your family s answer to a picky salmon eater take a note from my playbook call it fish with ranch dip works great for my g baked salmon with creamy lemon dill sauce 1 1 2 pounds salmon 1 cup low fat greek yogurt 2 tablespoons chopped red onion 1 garlic clove minced 1 teaspoon dried dill weed 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 2 teaspoon ground pepper 1 2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon chopped capers optional if you omit add extra 1 4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish optional preheat oven to 400 degrees rinse and pat dry the salmon place on a baking sheet sprinkle with salt and pepper bake for 8 12 minutes or until the salmon is fully baked flakes with a fork but not dry cooking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon while the salmon is baking assemble the remaining ingredients and make the quick and easy sauce combine the yogurt red onion garlic dill weed lemon zest and lemon juice add the salt and pepper and stir well if desired add some capers or salt add some horseradish optional once the salmon is baked top with some of the creamy lemon dill sauce and a lemon slice if desired serves 4 salmon it s what s for dinner life is sweet spc posted by sweet pea chef at 7 20 pm 26 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels gluten free recipes recipes for dinner monday march 10 2014 two crust y solutions they are a common site in kitchens with kids and probably some grown up kitchens too chances are if you are a mom dad or have ever fed anyone under the age of 10 you know that for some kids crusts rank right there between brussel sprouts and mushrooms in the category of you don t expect me to actually eat those do you since r has never been a fan of sandwiches the issue of crusts never really arose but my sweet g is a huge pb j fan he eats a lot of pb js but pb js without the crusts of course which leaves me with lots and lots of bags of crusts yes i know you can make the sandwich with crusts and hope that your kiddo eventually says hey these crusts taste okay and i do try this periodically but we have yet to hear g say this since i d rather not waste the crusts especially the crusts of rather pricey gluten free bread and since gluten free breadcrumbs and croutons are expensive how about a quick way to put your crusts gluten free or otherwise to good use there are two easy and tasty solutions to the crust conundrum croutons and breadcrumbs which taste waaaay better than canned or store bought breadcrumbs first homemade crust croutons preheat oven to 300 degrees take the crusts and cut into fairly uniform bite sized pieces add some ground pepper onion powder garlic powder and dried basil about 1 2 teaspoon each to about 6 cups bread pieces or adjust for your amount of bread add a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil toss well and spread evenly on a baking sheet avoiding overcrowding use two baking sheets if necessary bake 20 30 minutes turning in pan one time while baking voila croutons way better than any you buy in the store store in an airtight container a room temperature or freeze to last longer next up homemade bread crumbs preheat oven to 350 degrees then use a food processor or coffee grinder simply process until the desired fineness is reached place on a cooking sheet or stone and bake for 8 10 minutes or until desired brownness is reached store in the freezer until you re ready to use life is sweet spc posted by sweet pea chef at 7 00 pm 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels recipes tales from the sweet pea kitchen tricks and tips wednesday february 19 2014 no more brown guacamole ugh my guacamole always turns brown could top a list of first world problem statements i ve caught myself saying you ve heard of first world problems right they re some of life s minor complaints and irritants that those of us who have been blessed beyond measure find ourselves uttering because we have it so crazy good things that folks in many places around the world couldn t even comprehend saying because they have much bigger larger or more urgent worries so while browning guacamole is far from a catastrophe it is something that i ve tried unsuccessfully to conquer for years until now sweet pea husband gave me an idea a few weeks ago and ladies and gentlemen i m here to share with you that it is a fool proof easy and simple solution the answer water yes just water isn t it cool that many of life s issues whether large or small often have very simple solutions here s how it works make up your fresh guacamole need a recipe we like making this simple guacamole eat what you want share what you want or keep it all for later place in a lidded container smooth the top cover with water so no part of the guacamole is exposed refrigerate until you re ready to eat or serve then remove from the fridge simply pour off the water stir in any minor residual water and enjoy same guacamole one day later because avocado has a lot of healthy oils in it the water doesn t seep into the guacamole oil and water don t mix right and any trace of water you mix into the guacamole doesn t change the texture or flavor pretty cool eh life

chocolate chip snow cream here in sweet peaville we re experiencing our sixth yes sixth calamity day not sure how i feel about the term calamity day since most of our days were far from a calamity no huge snow or ice event just cold cold cold but today our calamity is snow and ice that made a mess of our roads and driveways with r and g home from school i tried to employ their strength in clearing our driveway while they were helpful the snow and ice that accumulated last night is so heavy that when i put my first shovel scoop throw the mass and tried to lift it was too much this is the type of snow that causes weather forecasters to say on the television don t over exert yourself and make sure you re up for shoveling it is heavy snow seemingly having the weight per square inch of lead this is only a slight exaggeration today also marks the beginning of the blizzard bags that many ohio schools are using as a way to compensate for being out of school so much this winter r and g brought theirs home yesterday which was rather foreboding since i still held out hope that there would be school today ha in g s packet he had an assignment to make snow cream in classic g form he took a look at the recipe for vanilla snow cream and asked what if we added peppermint and chocolate chips and make mint chocolate chip snow cream i loved this idea it was really tasty and since many of my readers probably have some white stuff in their yards i share this recipe to inspire what flavor combination will you try really natural mint chocolate chip snow cream 4 cups fresh clean snow as g said avoid yellow snow 1 cup milk we used almond milk 1 teaspoon vanilla a few drops peppermint essential oil we love doterra peppermint oil 1 4 cup sugar 1 4 cup mini chocolate chips gather your snow add the milk vanilla and peppermint oil and stir well add the sugar and chocolate chips and stir again enjoy g sporting his recently lost tooth gap y grin makes 4 cups snow cream life is sweet spc
