| Farro with Feta Cucumbers and Sun-dried Tomatoes - 2012-05-21 11:31:00 |
 This salad combines farro with Mediterranean ingredients such as cucumbers, lemon juice, feta and mint for a delicious salad you can enjoy as a side dish, or even for lunch! This would be perfect to bring to a potluck or BBQ this Memorial Day weekend! I'm in love with farro these days and I have been having so much fun cooking with it lately. Farro is an ancient Italian grain that has been rediscovered and is becoming quite popular in the US and throughout Europe. It's a great source of fiber, protein and iron, with a nutty flavor and chewy texture. It's wonderful in salads, side dishes and even soups. The pearled variety is as easy to cook as boiling pasta, takes only about 15-20 minutes.  Here in New York I can easily find farro in any natural foods market but I realize some of you may not be as lucky, so if you can't find farro where you live you could use barley, quinoa, whole wheat couscous or even whole grain elbow macaroni in it's place. If farro is available near you, I highly encourage you to try it!! Click Here For The Recipe...  |
| Buffalo Turkey Burgers with Blue Cheese Broccoli Slaw - 2012-05-16 10:58:00 |
 Turkey burgers with a cayenne pepper kick! Here's a fun way to turn boring turkey burgers into something with a little more exciting. If you're a buffalo wing fan, you'll love the flavors in this turkey burger topped with a broccoli slaw tossed with my very ownhomemade blue cheese dressing.  Someone recently emailed me and gave me this idea, she took myzucchini turkey burger recipeand dipped it in hot sauce after. I decided to add it to the turkey meat instead, and figured you can always serve more on the side if you wish! And by the way, there's carrots in these burgers but I promise, you can't even tell. It's a great way to add more fiber and vegetables into your diet whether it's for yourself or your family.  I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy food, so Frank's hot sauce is perfect for my taste, but if you really like it hot you could use Tabasco or your favorite cayenne hot sauce. To make these burgers gluten free, you can sub the breadcrumbs for gluten-free oats. Click Here For The Recipe...  |
| Grilled Flank Steak with Black Beans Corn and Tomatoes - 2012-05-15 11:18:00 |
 This steak dish has a fiesta of flavors, the flank steak is seasoned with cumin and garlic and grilled to perfection, then topped with a fresh black bean, corn and tomato salad for a quick and tasty family friendly weeknight meal.  I love topping grilled meats with fresh salad, a few successful examples of this:Grilled Flank with Tomatoes Red Onion and Balsamic, andGrilled Chicken Bruschetta. In this Tex Mex version, the flavors can be easily tweaked to suit your family's taste, make it spicy with some chopped jalapenõs, or swap out an ingredient for those picky kids. Enjoy!
