A salad I have been making for years, this Kale Caesar Salad makes for a great summer dish. Swapping a few ingredients from the traditional recipe yields a yummy and healthier version of a classic salad.
Ingredient: Dijon mustard
Fried Green Tomatoes
I am not one to eat fried food that often, but there is one fried food I will always make an exception for: fried green tomatoes. If I am at a restaurant with this delicious southern appetizer on the menu, you can bet I am ordering it. I hesitate to declare a “favorite” but fried green tomatoes are definitely high on my list of favorite foods. And while I have found some restaurants that have pretty good fried green tomatoes, I figured it was time to make my own. After trying a few recipes, I have finally found one that is a winner.
Vegetarian “Meat” Loaf
About once a month, I sit down and begin to brainstorm food post ideas. I always take into consideration upcoming holidays and other food worthy events when my making list. However, my favorite recipes to come up with are healthy spins on classic, sometimes even comfort food, dishes. I have shared quite a few here on the blog, including Buffalo Cauliflower, Zoodle Mac & Cheese and Cauliflower “Potato” Salad. I was trying to think of a comfort food that would be easy to spin into a healthier dish when I instantly thought of one of my favorite restaurants: Founding Farmers. With several locations around the Washington, D.C. area, the restaurant features farm to table dishes with an expansive vegetarian section. One of the vegetarian dishes is the “Many Vegetable Mushroom Loaf”. *Side note: I would highly recommend Founding Farmers if you are ever visiting the D.C. area!
Since meatloaf is one of our favorite winter dinners, I thought I would try a play on the Founding Farmers menu item: vegetarian “meat” loaf.
Easy Weeknight Dinner: Cheeseburger Burritos
No matter the season, I am always on a quest for quick weeknight dinners. Summer recipes have been a little easier since we can use the grill, but that isn’t an option for every night. We were planning to have burgers on the grill one day last week until a storm hit. Instead of grilling in the rain, I came up with this easy weeknight dinner: cheeseburger burritos.
