Text of the page (random words):
ot need to add any extra spice i didn t add 1 cup of flour and the 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder stir and add 1 4 cup of the leftover flour at a time until the mixture can be picked up and isn t gummy in your hands use a little flour and cocoa powder to dust a cutting board make sure to spread the flour cocoa powder mixture very thin leave a pile off to the side that you can take from if you need more take a small handful of the dough and roll it into a log on the floured cutting board lightly roll the log into a snake being careful not to squish the dough repeat making logs and snakes until all of the dough is used cut the snakes into pieces that are about the same width as a finger i place the cut gnocchi on a cookie sheet and freeze them until i want to use them even if it s for only a few minutes preferably about an hour minimum when the dough is room temperature it can disintegrate and or become too mushy these cook in seconds so it is important that they are firm when they go into the boiling water thaw the strawberries in a bowl or help them by placing frozen with a teaspoon of water in a small pot and heat over low heat set aside in a small sautee pan or pot heat the balsamic vinegar and sweetener over high heat i also poured in the liquid that came off of the strawberries when they thawed chop the dried rosemary warning this can be messy the pieces like to fly everywhere so try to cover with your hand and add it to the balsamic bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer let simmer until the mixture begins to thicken 10 minutes or so if you would like candied maple bacon lardons slices in your dish this is the time to cook the turkey bacon in just a tiny bit of olive oil lightly brown the slices on both sides add the maple syrup making sure the slices are coated continue cooking the bacon flip the slices after a few minutes when nearly all of the maple syrup is gone from the pan remove the bacon slices and let cool heat a larger sautee pan with a little olive oil salt a pot of water and bring it to a boil cook the gnocchi in 3 batches once the water is boiling they will cook in 30 seconds or less don t wait for them to float to the top they may be done already after a few seconds take one with a fork and taste it if it s heated through and doesn t taste like raw flour you re good to go using a slotted spoon remove the gnocchi and place them in the sautee pan shake the pan to coat the gnocchi with the olive oil repeat the process until all of the gnocchi are cooked in the pan they should all be barely coated in olive oil and slightly crisping up heat the peas in a small sautee pan in a little water set aside heat the strawberries briefly in the same pan until just heated through you do not want them to disintegrate stack the bacon slices if using and cut into small pieces plate desired amount of gnocchi on a plate drizzle with the balsamic and top with bacon and peas top with the whole strawberries enjoy this meal is a savory dish it is not sweet even though you are using chocolate and strawberries it was a very inexpensive way to cook something unique and special for valentine s day the only ingredient of expense is the balsamic vinegar organic cocoa powder can be expensive but used in such a small amount only costs a few cents the vinegar costs about 7 00 for a 16 9 ounce bottle twice the price of conventional balsamic if you use half a cup it only costs 1 64 3 4 cup would be 2 46 my husband looked at the plate and said wow i asked for more details for what wow meant and he continued with captivating interesting unique colorful i told him what we were having and he laughed after trying everything he said unexpected textural complex surprising bursting flavor scrumptious i ll take it happy valentine s day from our home to yours posted in recipes tagged chocolate gnocchi non gmo organic romantic meals saving money valentine s day 16 replies snowed in meal 2 moroccan spiced tomato soup and grilled cheese posted on february 13 2014 by two peas a wad 29 another day another snow storm currently in central new jersey we have over a foot more than 30 centimeters with more on the way again no work for me my husband a degreed meteorologist is out in the elements being filmed for a tv segment so it s just me making lunch which he ll be able to enjoy once he s back here s our back deck i knew the storm was coming so i figured i d head to the store on my way home yesterday along with everyone else in the entire state once i got there it was clear i would be relying on my own pantry and fridge again to make food the shelves were empty and i mean empty there was barely any fresh produce here are some pictures of the onion bins and parsley baskets notice the one bag of carrots left under the parsley and the bottled water section always a favorite to show during a storm no problem i knew i could make something tasty out of ingredients already in my home once home i looked through everything and saw half a carton of organic tomato soup staring at me what is more perfect for being snowed in than tomato soup and grilled cheese i d used the tomato soup as part of another recipe and it had been in the freezer ever since plain ol tomato soup wasn t going to get it done if i m dipping my grilled cheese in it so i knew i d be using other ingredients around the house to jazz it up moroccan spiced tomato soup 15 ounces an ounce more or less wont matter of low sodium organic tomato soup one can or half a 32 ounce box will work just fine half an organic onion 1 can organic diced tomatoes 1 can organic beans any kind will do i had dark red kidney beans so that s what i used 1 tablespoon salt free organic seasoning blend 1 2 teaspoon organic turmeric 1 2 teaspoon organic coriander pinch of organic cinnamon pinch of organic red pepper flakes salt and pepper to taste grilled cheese i made mine with cheese and turkey bacon you can simply make garlic bread just as delicious 8 pieces ezekiel bread thawed i use ezekiel because it is sprouted and really healthy you can use whatever bread you have on hand organic cheddar cheese however much you like i prefer less cheese many prefer it oozing out of their bread 3 pieces of organic turkey bacon optional 2 tablespoons organic vegan buttery spread you can use butter if you have it instead you may want to use more i chose to use as little fat as possible 2 tablespoons organic olive oil again you may want more 1 2 teaspoon organic basil 1 2 teaspoon organic oregano 1 2 teaspoon organic parsley 1 4 teaspoon organic garlic powder 1 4 teaspoon organic onion powder heat olive oil in a large pot dice organic onion and add to the pot when the oil is hot cook until onions start to become translucent add the can of diced tomatoes cook with the onions my diced tomatoes happened to be larger than i d like so i used a potato masher to break them up in the pot this is totally your call add the organic seasoning blend mine is salt free so i can add a large a mount if yours is not salt free use much less and taste you don t want it to be too salty rinse and drain the can of beans add to the pot once they ve cooked for a few minutes use a potato masher to break up the beans they should still be chunky you just want to release some of their starchiness to thicken the soup add the spices stir and cook for a few minutes add the tomato soup mine was frozen so i added the frozen brick right to the pot and turned up the heat if yours is not frozen just go head and add it and stir this is the brand i used note the non gmo project and usda certified organic seals salt and pepper to taste this will depend on how much salt your canned boxed soup already has in it i use low sodium so i needed to add a pinch of salt reduce the heat and let the soup simmer as you prepare the grilled cheese i used ezekiel bread which comes frozen i thawed 8 pieces as they were thawing i melted the vegan buttery spread in a small bowl i use earth balance organic natural buttery spread great stuff it s the only butter i bake with too add the olive oil and spices stir and put in the fridge to harden thicken a bit if using bacon or turkey bacon cook the three slices until slightly crispy it will crisp up even more once removed from the pan once cool enough to handle break into small pieces preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees f warm the thawed bread for just a few minutes and remove from the oven take the chilled spread from the fridge and spread evenly on 4 slices of bread take the broken up bacon if using and arrange the pieces on the slices put the cheese on these four coated slices use however much you want i used relatively little my store just started carrying organic shredded cheese so i picked up the organic white cheddar they didn t have yellow i compared the price of a block or organic cheddar and the bag of shredded the unit price was only a few cents different so i bought the shredded often shredded is much more expensive than a block but not with this brand i bought the cheese for a different recipe so this was a perfect way to use up more of it heat a little olive oil or vegan buttery spread butter in a pan add the four cheesey pieces cheese bacon side up and top them with the other four slices of bread lightly cook the four sandwiches on each side until bread is slightly toasty or golden brown because i used so little fat in the ban the bread wasn t golden brown but just nicely toasted that s how i prefer it you can make a traditional style grilled cheese with more spread or oil if you d like once the outsides looked how i wanted them to look i wrapped the sandwiches in aluminum foil and put them in the toaster oven to finish melting the cheese once the cheese is fully melted remove the sandwiches and slice in half serve with the tomato soup and enjoy this meal cost around 5 00 to make even if you have to purchase items to make it you will not use all of each item meaning you will not use the full package of cheese you will not use the whole loaf of bread the whole tub of buttery spread etc it costs out to about 5 00 to make using the amounts stated above and i even have enough soup leftover to have for lunch tomorrow eating organically doesn t have to cost as much as you think posted in recipes tagged budget cooking gmo grilled cheese moroccan spices non gmo organic saving money snowed in tomato soup 29 replies snowed in meal 1 asian lettuce wraps without having to go to the store posted on february 10 2014 by two peas a wad 35 last week in new jersey we had a snow storm from early morning sunday into monday work was canceled the driveway and our cars were both covered and it was freezing out i didn t want to go anywhere so i didn t but i knew i had to rely on making dinner from what i had on hand they key to this type of meal is making sure it doesn t taste like it was just thrown together to use up ingredients in the pantry or fridge before i started brainstorming on monday night i asked my other half if there were something in particular he wanted his request lettuce wraps if you can challenge extended i browsed the contents of our shelves and found that this was totally doable he had previously purchased a head of organic iceberg lettuce for his lunch sandwiches i had a container of organic non gmo tofu that i was planning on using in a different recipe later in the week and i had leftover raw cauliflower done i love having leftover ingredients especially when they were inexpensive to start with a few days before i bought a head of organic cauliflower for 3 99 conventional was 3 49 only 50 cents less i used 1 5 of the head for my vegan cauliflower meat balls and now had 4 5 left in my fridge how exciting the cauliflower would definitely be going in these lettuce wraps along with the lettuce and tofu mentioned above as for the sauce i have a go to asian sauce that is so simple to make and can be made with basic staples in your kitchen a well stocked pantry is the key to successful re purposing of ingredients i will be making a post about what i keep in my pantry in the very near future all you need for my simple asian sauce is organic soy sauce please go for organic if you can there is not a huge difference in price but the quality of what you re putting in your body is night and day soy is one of the most genetically modified crops in the united states some sort if citrus juice and your favorite nut butter of choice i had some almond butter i wanted to use up but you can use peanut cashew or even tahini sesame seed butter i didn t have any limes my preferred citrus for this sauce but i did have orange juice a perfect substitute asian lettuce wraps 1 2 package extra firm organic non gmo tofu found in the refrigerated section 1 chicken breast if you are going vegetarian vegan simply omit the chicken and make the full package of tofu 1 2 head of organic cauliflower pinch of ground mustard pinch of ground ginger pinch of ground allspice asian seasoning blend you can use the same three spices above with a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder and add sesame seeds if you d like 2 tablespoons organic almond butter or other nut butter of choice 1 tablespoon organic orange juice more if you like a thinner sauce 1 2 teaspoons of organic soy sauce depending on desired flavor saltiness 1 tablespoon of orange marmalade or mango chutney i used mango chutney because i had an open jar coconut oil for cooking 6 8 leaves of lettuce for wrapping iceberg is recommended for crunch but any lettuce can be used optional but highly recommended 1 organic scallion chopped organic peanuts or almonds organic pickled radishes cucumbers ginger slice the tofu into thin slices and let drain on paper towels placed on a baking rack i flipped the tofu and changed the towels three times there is a lot of water in tofu heat a skillet with a little coconut oil over medium high heat chop the cauliflower into small bite size pieces and add to the pan cook until mostly cooked you can taste test if you re unsure add the pinches of mustard ginger and allspice and finish cooking remove from pan and set aside heat a little more coconut oil and when hot add the drained sliced tofu as the first side cooks sprinkle with asian seasoning always read your labels to make sure seasoning doesn t contain starches or oils to prevent sticking if you cannot find a good asian spice blend make your own with a pinch of mustard ginger allspice garlic powder onion powder and optional sesame seeds as mentioned above in the ingredients list unless the spice is usda certified organic the added oils are most likely genetically modified or gmo flip tofu when the bottom side is golden brown and season the top side as the bottom cooks remove from heat when golden brown place on paper towls on baking rack so that any excess oil is absorbed while the tofu is sitting
