This kale recipe takes this leafy green to whole new level. The balsamic vinegar is the key. Side note about the kale – if you have been following me, you know I bought a big bag of triple washed & prepared kale at the beginning of the week. I got 3 meals out of that sucker! Back to my meal this evening – the hubs grilled a NY strip steak to go with this lovely dish. A perfect combo!
I love this festive margarita! Making this classic with cranberry juice is just was the holiday season needs!
My giant bag of kale has been put to good use! This salad has orange sections, persimmon, avocado, crushed walnuts and grilled chicken. I dressed the kale with a Tahini Vinaigrette (tahini, olive oil, white wine vinegar, 1 crushed garlic clove & sriracha) when I got home, and then prepared the add ins ~ makes the kale nice & tender. I feel super healthy!
This is a yummy side or main dish. I served this with grilled chicken (Thanks Hubs!) & jalapeño naan that I got from our local grocery store. Gotta say…this was both healthy & delish! Feeling great already!
After a week in NYC, I’m so happy to be back in my own kitchen! Still tired, so I had groceries delivered. Breakfast is toasted sourdough bread with peanut butter & my HOMEMADE POTEET STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM. I make this jam, every year, when Poteet strawberries are in season. Poteet, Texas is the strawberry capital of the world, don’t ya know!
This was a new addition to our Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone loved it! I used Trader Joe’s Power Greens, sliced red onion, avocado, walnuts, pomegranate arils & fresh shrimp with olive oil & lemon vinaigrette.
My fam loves these Roasted Rainbow Carrots and so do I! So simple to make – just roast your carrots in a 425 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until tender. Drizzle with honey – my favorite is Tree Hive Maple Syrup + Honey – and pomegranate arils & pistachios. These carrots are gorgeous and yummy!
This STUFFING is life. Of course, you can call it dressing, too. Whatever floats your boat! I got this recipe from a friend’s dad at least 35 years ago. The first time I tried it I was hooked. My kids would actually put a hit out on me if I stopped making this for turkey day. It’s that good. Shhhhh…the secret is the shredded chicken. Put this on your list for next year!
I’m just not ready for Christmas! I still want to smell pumpkin spice & enjoy my fall decor! I love this time of year so much that one year I lost my mind and made over 100 chenille pumpkins! Anyway, I digress. I made these gorgeous pancakes for breakfast & the fam loved ‘em! AND, I’m really proud, ‘cause I created this recipe all by my lonesome! This stack of hot pumpkin yumminess was, according to my daughter, was “just right.” The drizzle of Tree Hive Maple+Honey didn’t hurt, either. A perfect Thanksgiving week treat!
My hubs loves anything with apples! YOU will love how simple this EASY APPLE TARTS are to make! I made a couple of tweaks to an Ina Garten recipe I saw on Food Network. All you need is some store bought puff pastry, some apples, butter & any jam you might have in the fridge! My version looks a little rustic. I still think they look pretty!
