Veggie Frittata

Since breakfast food was a bit scarce around the house this weekend, I needed to come up with something for Sunday morning breakfast that used what I had in the fridge. I knew that I wanted to use lots of veggies since we had so many beautiful ones from our Bountiful Baskets order. I took a look inside the fridge to see what I had… Ingredients: 4 eggs 1/4 cup milk 1 sweet onion 1 green pepper 1 small container of mushrooms left-over roasted cauliflower handful of grape tomatoes Parmesan cheese dried chives salt pepper dried parsley olive oil Directions:…

Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Today, I picked up our Bountiful Baskets order, and I have to say that the organic baskets were wonderful this week. We received broccoli, cauliflower, cherries, mangoes, donut peaches, mushrooms, corn, purple kale, baby bok choy, celery, and cantaloupe. I also got a box of pineapple. The pineapple, mangoes, and peaches aren’t ripe yet, so that will give us a chance to really dig into all the other yummy fruits. Because I really want to take advantage of all of the yummy goodies this week, I decided to make some roasted cauliflower and broccoli for lunch. It’s been some time since I’ve made…

Chicken with Cranberry Blueberry Sauce

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

What do you do when you have some extra blueberry and cranberries that need to be used up? Well, I decided to create a raw sauce for our pan grilled skinless, boneless chicken breasts. After eating it, both D and I decided that it would also taste great on ice cream, so we used some of the leftover sauce on some homemade vanilla blender ice cream later that evening. Yum! These are all rough ingredients as a great deal will depend on your desired sweetness/tartness. I just put together what I needed to use up. Ingredients: 1/2 cup blueberries 3…

Mexican Sirloin Tips 3 Ways

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

I just love it when you can make one main item and use it for multiple meals just by adding some different sides. In the case of these organic sirloin steaks, I sliced them up thin and made the meat stretch. We were able to use them for 3 different meals. The sirloin tips were such a huge hit that Munchkin asked to have them again rather than having steak for father’s day. Ingredients: 1 steak per person (more if you need extra left-overs) sea salt (I use a sea salt grinder) pepper (I use a pepper grinder) cumin Directions:…
