This recipe for quinoa with seeds started with simply adding sunflower seeds… then I must have started channeling a sparrow or something & went a little seed crazy…lol. Since quinoa is actually a seed as well, this could have been aptly named a bowl o’ seeds, but calling it “seedy” was the only thing that [...]
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sunshine Sweet Corn. I received a gift card to purchase a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I’ve made a fresh Tex-Mex Grilled Corn and Tomato Salad for you today, with Cinco de [...]
This Curried Zucchini & Sweet Onion Bulgur was a vegetarian lunch for me today, but would work nicely as a side for grilled meats as well. Bulgur is one of my go-to starches when I am watching my calories (and after the ice cream sandwiches my daughter & I ate last night, something has to [...]
I wasn’t really planning a vegetarian theme here on Mom Foodie, but as I was writing up this carrot quinoa recipe, I realized that no meat has shown up in my recipes in almost two weeks. I guess Easter approaching has inspired me to make rabbit food…lol. No fears, my carnivorous friends, I have no [...]
These Dijon Thyme Roasted Potatoes are very easy to prepare, and the perfect accompaniment to a nice juicy roast chicken. The recipe is the result of my current obsession with whole grain mustard, the thyme conveniently growing in my winter garden, and the little chicken that was roasting in the oven at the time I [...]
Horseradish-Blue Cheese Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes that’s a mouthful before you’ve even taken a bite. I had mentioned this in my recent Walnut Crusted Salmon with Guinness Reduction recipe, and it just didn’t seem right not to share the spuds recipe as well. It was extra yummy with the salmon and brussel sprouts. These blue cheese [...]
A colcannon recipe, for a healthy Saint Patrick’s day. Colcannon is an Irish staple, heck they love it so much, there’s even a traditional Gaelic song about it. Though I’m not Irish myself, I don’t wait around until St. Patrick’s day rolls around to enjoy this simple but satisfying dish. Colcannon is really just mashed [...]
I whipped together a quick and tasty Artichoke Bulgur Salad yesterday. At just 130 calories per serving, this easy recipe makes a great mini-meal, side dish or snack. For a full meal, add some grilled chicken, shrimp, or feta. A satisfying vegan meal would simply require, doubling up the chick peas and perhaps adding some [...]
This light vegetarian Poblano-Lime Quinoa recipe makes a quick and versatile entree or side dish. The recipe can be served either hot or cold and is both gluten-free and vegan too. In the pictures, it is being served cold as a salad. Last night I had this quinoa warm with some spicy grilled shrimp on [...]
Hazelnut-Truffle Oil Quinoa is an easy recipe, that teams the flavor of truffles with nuts from their favorite tree to grow under. Yeah, I thought I was pretty clever with that one…lol. This vegan quinoa recipe is hearty enough to serve as an entree itself, but pairs nicely with grilled portabella, salmon (as shown here [...]
