Pantry Revisited

Margaret chose this simple but delicious chicken for us in our Eating with Ellie group.  Because  it is cooked in the foil packet it is really moist.   We are not huge lovers of green pepper so I left that one out.  I think this would be good with some added vegetables like broccoli or even sliced potatoes.  It did take about 45 minutes to prepare.   It is chicken with green onions, red and green peppers, sauce, and toasted sesame seeds to serve. come cook with us on Thursdays!   Healthy, delicious meals. ewellie.wordpress.com

This week in our Donna Hay group it was my pick.   I thought this was not only an extremely easy dish to prepare but also a pretty dish.  It has very simple ingredients.  chicken, of course, green olives, cherry tomatoes, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.   You can find the recipe here:   https://mypostcardsfromhome.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/green-olive-baked-chicken/ I will definitely be making this another time and it would be great to share with some friends!  Very tasty!  enjoy! Come on and join our group!  You would like cooking with us.

We have tried to love kale and we just do not.   Have tried it many different ways.  I wanted to try this recipe so I substituted some mixed greens for the kale.  It was delicious!  This was my first time to have pine nuts.  I liked them!   This salad is so easy to make and amazingly flavorful.  Just raisens, toasted pine nuts, greens, and a dressing made with olive oil, red wine vinegar.   Kayte chose this for us to try.  Check out our website at  ewellie.wordpress.com You can find the recipe here  http://www.elliekrieger.com/tuscan-kale-salad#.VS-kvtq9KK1

Rigatoni with fresh basil and ricotta cheese!    This dish was delicious and so easy to prepare!  We try to do at least one meatless meal each week and this was perfect.   My photo does not do it justice.   Margaret  chose this dish for us in our Wednesdays with Donna Hay group.   It is rigatoni pasta, ricotta, fresh basil and parsley, black olives, salt and cracked pepper.  Check out our website  Here Hope you all have a blessed Easter.   Maybe the bunny will hop your way and bring some fun surprises!

Its Thursday and that means I cook something delicious with my eating with Ellie Kreiger group.   This week chaya from our group chose the  zucchini corn and spinach sauté found in Ellie Kreigers Week Night Wonders book.   I love zucchini so I am always looking for different ways to prepare it.  The addition of corn onions garlic and spinach made this a delicious side dish that would go with pretty much anything!   Come join us each thursday for delicious and healthy food!

I did not really want to make this because it just frankly did not appeal to me looks wise.  but I was anxious to get back to cooking so I decided today was the day.   For those of you who follow my blog and do not know my situation, I have had a biopsy and two surgeries in the last two weeks.  I am doing well, but having anesthesia twice in a week has left me without a lot of energy.  Plus I am healing so my body is working hard toward that!  I will be having rads in the coming weeks.  Not looking forward to that! after searching in the store for red curry paste and finding it, I was dismayed when I started cooking this to discover it contained shrimp which I am allergic to.  So I had to make a quick decision for a suitable substitute.   i used sirachi sauce and added some red pepper flakes.  It was delicious!   We were really surprised how good this was.   served over rice.   I really cannot imagine it being much bette...

This week in our Eating with Ellie group it was my pick.   I chose this chicken with peaches.   Even though peaches are not in season, the recipe states that frozen ones can be used.   this chicken was tasty but it was not a favorite for me.  it was an easy preparation as are most of Ellie's recipes.   You cn find this recipe in Ellie's Weeknight Wonders book.  Our group does not publish the recipes out of respect for the author.   come join us as we cook each Thursday! ewellie.wordpress.com
