Veggie Patties

9/30/2016

​I absolutely love these patties! Once cooked, they resemble hashbrown patties with their shredded texture and they are so delicious.


Shredded carrot, zucchini, and potato form these vegetable patties which are then pan fried until nice and crispy on the outside. They remain soft and tender on the inside which contrasts the crunchy exterior just perfectly.

Make sure you have the hot sauce handy because these patties are begging for a dousing of hot sauce!

Creole Stuffed Zucchinis

9/28/2016

0 Comments

 
Zucchinis have to be one of my favourite vegetables. Not only are they nutritious and abundant this time of year but they are such a versatile veggie. They can be used and seasoned so many different ways remaining delicious.

Stuffing them is one of my favourite ways to enjoy them. They become so tender and the stuffing really amps up their flavour making them quite flavourful. My creole inspired stuffing is actually inspired by a dish my mother often made growing up. This recipe has roots and I'm sharing it with you all!

Artichoke, Tomato, & Hot Pepper Bruschetta

9/26/2016

0 Comments

 
This is one of my favourite bruschetta recipes I've whipped up to date. All of the flavours play so well with one another and really help to make every bite an explosion of flavour in your mouth. 

I've whipped up a super simple basil butter that sets the tone for the bruschetta's flavour. Each baguette is topped with artichokes, colourful medley tomatoes, and tangy hot pepper rings along with salty feta and creamy bocconcini cheeses. Bake everything up until nice and crispy and serve away! 

It's so delicious you might want to have an extra baguette on hand!

​ARTICHOKE, TOMATO, & HOT PEPPER BRUSCHETTA

With Feta, Bocconcini, and Basil Butter

I regularly eat bruschetta and I love trying new combinations of flavours when topping it. This time around I was craving pickled hot peppers so I knew they were headed for the top. Along with the peppers there's medley tomatoes, artichokes, feta & bocconcini cheese, and a simple basil butter. Everything about this is as delicious as it sounds. Did I mention bruschetta is ridiculously easy to prepare? It's a Win Win!

​CREOLE STUFFED ZUCCHINI


I was really in the mood for a dish my mother would make us growing up that contained a creole style mix of vegetables and seasonings along with some prok chops. It was so flavourful and delicious. I decided I'd whip up a similar mix and stuff it inside some zucchinis. Zucchinis are the perfect vessel for the creole filling when seeded as they make lovely boats just waiting to be filled. Melt a little cheese on top and voila! Delicious..ness.




VEGGIE PATTIES


A combination of shredded zucchini, potatoes, and carrots seasoned and formed in to patties. They are pan fried until crispy on both sides and served with sour cream and sliced avocado. Don't forget the hot sauce!

I love this dish. Everything can be cooked in one pan which makes for the easiest clean up.

This veggie fusilli is so simple to put together. A few fresh herbs & veggies, some vegetable stock, and dry pasta all cooked together in one pan. It doesn't get much easier than this. It's a great meal for a busy weeknight dinner and it's delicious to boot.

I love pierogis! They are so delicious when prepared the traditional way but are even better when prepared like this! These little potato pillows are the perfect vessels for a cheesy casserole and bake up perfectly in under 30 minutes. I've added some broccoli for colour and flavour and blanketed everything under a layer of shredded cheddar which makes everything better! 

Get on over to the RECIPES page for this delicious casserole recipe!

Chickpea Caprese Salad

9/19/2016

0 Comments

 
Caprese salad is one of the simplest and most satisfying salads to make. There's something about the pairing of tomatoes and basil that just sings with every bite. Add in some tender bocconcini cheese, hearty chickpeas, and a flavourful balsamic vinaigrette, and you've got a delicious salad.

This salad can be enjoyed on its own or you can spoon the salad over a bed of your favourite lettuce for an even fresher, heartier meal.

​CHICKPEA CAPRESE SALAD



Caprese salads are one of my favourites when it comes to the world of salading. I love how simple the salad is along with the delicious, fresh flavours, it's such a wonderful salad. I've taken a little bit of a different approach by adding chickpeas in this version. The salad becomes heartier and more filling but retains everything you love about it. Fresh basil, tomatoes, and bocconcini dressed in a simple to prepare balsamic vinaigrette. 



CREAMY PIEROGI & BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



I remember seeing something like this while I was trolling recipes online and thought it sounded like a fabulous idea. Why not make pierogis in to a casserole? This casserole is drenched in a warm, creamy sauce and baked under a layer of cheddar. Every bite is so rich and wonderful, it's definitely a recipe to hold on to!

​ONE PAN VEGGIE FUSILLI


Making dinner is always enjoyable until you get to the dishes. I loathe doing dishes but it's a small price to pay for a fabulous dish. With that being said, a delicious pasta dish that only requires ONE PAN is totally welcome! Such a simple dish with fresh basil, zucchini, pepper, and tomatoes and so easy to prepare. You guys will love me for this one!

Polenta Patties with Buttery Roasted Sprouts

9/16/2016

0 Comments

 
Polenta is something I've only recently been getting involved with. I've yet to prepare it from scratch but I am looking forward to trying it. Until then, a prepared log of polenta is just fine and super easy to work with. You can find these prepared logs in most grocery stores, look for the Italian foods in the International section and you'll likely find it!

The patties are baked until lightly crisped on the outside and pillowy on the inside. Next, we'll take some buttery, roasted brussel sprouts and pour them over top the patties. It's so simple and tastes heavenly!

40 Age Erasing Superfoods

9/15/2016

http://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/nutrition/40-age-erasing-superfoods/ss-BBwb8Mf?li=AAggV0S
Here's a fun little quiz for y'all. I am all about anti aging fruits and vegetables and knowing which ones are top of their game is a great way to intentionally work more of these foods in to your diets.

Go through the list and keep a tally of how many skin saving superfoods you regularly consume. Give yourself a 1/2 point for foods you periodically eat and take score at the end. It will also enlighten you as far as which foods you should be trying to slip in to your diet a bit more. Obviously by default there will be a few meat related products you lose points on but there's a lot of great information in this article.

My score was 19.5
I will be adjusting some things in my diet for sure!


Leave your scores in the comments or tweet / fb me!
