fage

By
















if you haven't tried fage (pronounced fa-yeh) yet, let me be the first to tell you how wonderful it is.  it is greek strained yogurt.  i like to describe it as more like a european-style, dry, unsweetened yogurt.  it's high in protein, full of good probiotics and if you can find the 0% kind, it's fat free...not to mention that it's unbelievably creamy and delicious.  i use fage in many of the curry dishes that i make to tone down the spiciness or in any dish that needs a little creaminess, without adding cream.  another favorite way to eat it is in a fruit parfait for breakfast.  it's so filling, full of flavor, healthy, light and quick.  what more could you ask for in a breakfast dish?

fage
honey
granola
favorite fruit

add as much fage to your bowl as you will eat.  drizzle honey (about 2 Tbsp/1 cup, but you can always add more if you want it sweeter) over the fage and stir.  top with granola and your favorite fruit (my favs...strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.)  enjoy.

    LOVE greek yogurt. (try freezing it in your icecream maker sometime--delish!) i've tried a lot of brands, and fage is definitely my favorite. so happy costco has started carrying it.

Marinara with butter and onion

By
did I tell you that I love butter? well, I do. (see here ) so when i came across this recipe on the smitten kitchen , i was in awe. although wisdom tells you that a good marinara sauce comes from hours of simmering vine ripened tomatoes in delicious spices and mouth watering aromatics, this recipe sort of defies that wisdom. it's three ingredients...that's it. while the quality of the tomatoes does add value to this sauce, it's also ok to substitute with the can of tomatoes you've got on hand. if that's san marzano tomatoes, it's going to be delicious, if it's just a can of hunts, it will still be fantastic (i don't recommend a store brand of tomatoes for this recipe, however). for me, it's the go to recipe when i'm swamped and cannot find time to spend in the kitchen. let me tell you something about myself. i'm a people pleaser. so i have a hard time saying no. "can you help coach knowledge bowl?" yes. "would you b...

sunday slow cooker: red beans and rice

By
in honor of mardi gras this year i made red beans and rice from scratch.  i am grateful to say that 6 years of my life took place in new orleans, la.  well, actually it was 5 years and 1 month + 11 months while we were displaced because of hurricane katrina, but we won't talk about that.  and during those 11 months in utah my heart was still in new orleans.  in case you're not familiar with new orleans, their claim to fame is FOOD.  and no ordinary food will do, no no no.  it must be GREAT FOOD.  and believe me, we had GREAT FOOD while we lived there.  and lots of it.   one of our favorite dishes was red beans and rice.  now that we don't live in new orleans, it's not as convenient to just run to the store and buy a can of already prepared Blue Runner beans.  so, i decided to come up with a recipe all on my own that used the slow cooker (it was sunday dinner and now with 1 o'clock church i'm using my slow cooke...

rotisserie chicken noodle soup

By
i can't even begin to tell you how much i wish that this were not a post about soup.  i wish i could have a talking with mother nature and convince her that spring is necessary.  not only for the budding tulips and daffodils, but for my mental status.  i dislike winter.  there.  i said it.  this year i even tried my best to not let winter get to me.  i invested in insulated running tights and lots of warm gear to get me through all the snow storms.  and i ran through lots of cold dreary days.  and it helped.  oh boy, did it help!  but dog-gone-it, it's may now.  i tried to have patience through the blustery march weather.  i was optimistic when april's sunshine peeked through the clouds.  but, honestly, that was maybe once.  and now i'm telling you what...my patience has worn thin and i'm anxious to get my cold weather gear put away.  i want to hop on my bike and pedal my way into mental heaven.  but ...
