One day, when travel becomes a thing again, I hope to try these savory Turkish snacks first hand. These are made with a shortcut of substituting tortillas for the breading, but pizza dough rolled out thin can also work. It seems the flavors from the meat, spinach and feta cheese mixture is really the star of the dish. The filling can also be made with veggies like, zucchini, mushrooms, or finely chopped potatoes.
Serve hot as a tasty treat for an appetizer, or as a meal with a fresh salad.
Sheetpan dinner……make an easy marinade for the chops, marinade for 30 mins, then toss in the oven for a delicious dinner – chops and veggies. Serves 2
Galettes are a fun way to show some creativity and variety. Basically a pie with any filling you desire that takes minutes. These mini ones are a perfect sweet treat for that snow day, a quick dessert to bring to a gathering, or when you have that chocolate craving.
Cheesy Spaghetti Squash
Eat the colors of the rainbow with this salad. It’s vibrant as much as it’s delicious. Bonus factors? The the protein packed chickpeas and the tangy yogurt dressing.
Serve the salad either as a refreshing lunch, or besides a grilled piece of chicken for a great dinner!
It’s possible to have a crisp, gluten free, veggie forward pizza crust! Try it!
Cauliflower goes great with lots of cheeses, but you can use this crust like you would any pizza recipe.
One tip is if you like a lot of tomato sauce, add it after a first layer of cheese. This helps keep the cauliflower crust from getting soggy.
When a recipe or a salad calls for cherry tomatoes to be sliced, do you cringe? Or think about how much time it’s going to take to individually slice them?? Try this tip!
You’ll need a sharp knife and two plastic lids. Or you can use a plate, inverted, if it has a base. The goal is to keep the tomatoes contained.
Glazed Donuts
1901 was the year that the first recipe for the peanut butter and jelly sandwich was published. Over a hundred years later, it is still a classic. If you’ve ever wondered how to make it, you’ve come to the right place.
The dressing is a homemade version of poppy seed dressing, but…you guessed it! I didn’t have any poppy seeds! So, if you do have a random jar, a tablespoon is a great addition. Otherwise the dressing can do fine without it and it pairs well with a leafy green salad or the beets and orange one featured here.
The greens can be swapped for whatever is on hand, arugula, spinach, mint or basil.
A quick pickle to shallots or thinly sliced red onions adds a bonus layer, but onions can be kept raw. This recipe includes instructions for pickling, but the additional time (about 1/2 hour) isn’t reflected in salad total time.
Find recipes for roasting beets on the site, to use in this salad.
