Summer Vegetable Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #125

Lolli — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 11:00:55 +0000

With nearly 7000 miles under our belts over the last 21 days….we’re finally back home. I can’t tell you how good it feels to NOT be living out of our van. Facing reality – work, cleaning, washing dishes by hand, cooking, shopping – those things I could do without.

Luckily, while we were gone on our road trip, all of our garden veggies ripened, so we’ve got an abundance of tomatoes and zucchini and bell peppers. I can’t wait to make this season’s first batch of homemade roasted vegetable salsa. It’s a family favorite!

This week, quite appropriately, we’ve picked out a few of our favorite garden vegetable recipes. So many delicious dishes to choose from!

Summer Salad Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #122

Lolli — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 11:01:45 +0000

This summer (the whole WEEK that we’ve had off school so far) hasn’t felt like summer yet. I mean, other than the fact that it’s HOT and humid and we’ve had lots of thunder storms (which is basically nature trying to torment my poor dog). Luckily, the “real” part of summer starts next week, when we start our series of summer travels.

I can’t wait.

What are your summer plans and adventures?

Tomorrow I head to the airport early in the morning and fly across the country, from Baltimore to LA. I have a VERY full and exciting week ahead of me, including a walk on the red carpet, a day at Disneyland, and a visit with family in San Diego. You can read all about what I’ve got in store for later this week HERE.

As is typical lately, I’m totally overwhelmed with all that I have to do in the day before my trip. So much packing. So much organizing and preparing. There’s never enough time!

I’ll cut to the chase today and get right to the party!

Homemade French Dressing on a Fresh Garden Salad

Lolli — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 03:45:24 +0000

This post is sponsored by The Chefs Warehouse in conjunction with Blog Meets Brand and I have been compensated for my participation. All opinions are my own. #appetitevideoseries #wherechefsshop

I love food.

I was laughing with my son earlier today when he walked into the kitchen with his friend and declared, “Isn’t it weird how other people’s food always tastes better than your own??” I have to agree. As competent as I am in the kitchen, and as much as I love cooking for my family, restaurant foods always taste even more delicious.

Every once in a while I am able to create something at home that tastes just as good – or even better – than the foods that I order at fancy restaurants. The difference is often the quality of the ingredients that I use to make those recipes.

Recently I was introduced to the new Appetite video series from The Chefs Warehouse, a specialty food distributor. Not only does the Chefs Warehouse source unique products for high-end chefs across North America, but they’ve made those ingredients available to home cooks like me. Their specialty products are perfect for stocking your shelves for your favorite gourmet recipes, and they make perfect house warming gifts and gift baskets for the holidays.

Check out the Appetite Series Trailer:

The Chefs Warehouse sent me the following ingredients from their first few episodes:

Sabatino Tartufi Truffles
Barbera Lorenzo N°3 Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Basque Red Chili Powder (espelette pepper)
Iliada Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Bazzini Salted Mixed Nuts

I was inspired by espisode 2: Appetite for Community – Piment d’Ville Pepper, where we meet the team behind Piment d’Ville Basque Red Chili Powder (espelette pepper).

I love all types of peppers, so I was really curious to see what I could create with the piment d’ville espelette pepper. I found out that it makes a delicious French dressing (American style), and since I love salads and have an abundance of fresh garden vegetables, I thought it was the perfect direction for my recipe this week. And since I needed some extra virgin olive oil for the dressing, I was excited to be able to try out some of my new EVOO, too.

This delicious salad dressing is a cross between the American “French” dressing and a French vinaigrette. It’s light and tasty and totally unique. My 13-year-old daughter, who watched me prepare the dressing, was curious about my salad and decided to sneak a bite….which became two and then three bites. She ended up eating more of the salad than I did (but who am I to complain when my daughter loves a salad dressing so much that she can’t get enough of it?).

I don’t make homemade salad dressings often enough. Take my word for it – this dressing is too easy and too delicious to not make it.

Yum

Homemade French Dressing

Ingredients

2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tsp local honey
1 tsp piment d'ville espelette pepper
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (I used an olive oil from Kalamata, Greece)
1/4 tsp each freshly ground salt and pepper

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a mason jar or salad dressing shaker and shake to combine. Shake immediately before adding to salad.
Drizzle dressing over salad greens and enjoy!

I loved the fact that my salad tasted like a gourmet restaurant salad, thanks to the addition of the homemade dressing, but it was easy enough to make at home. I added this delicious dressing to a tossed green salad with the following garden ingredients:

spinach
baby kale
romaine lettuce
sliced tomatoes
diced yellow onion
shredded carrots
mushrooms

You could easily add nuts, cheese, or even some grilled chicken to make this salad heartier.

Lolli — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:00:24 +0000

Even if you’re not on vacation this week, what better way to celebrate summer than with tasty salad recipes? There were so many salad recipes shared during last week’s party that we decided to share our favorite new salad recipes. I’m always amazed by the variety of ways to prepare a salad.

Baby Kale and Raisin Salad

Lolli — Fri, 01 May 2015 05:00:35 +0000

Did you know that the first week of May is National Raisin Week? Well, now you do! I challenged myself to find something new and unique to make with raisins this past week, and I wasn’t just happy with my results. I was thrilled. Blown away. My taste buds were dancing.

When I think of raisins, I typically think of a few things: little kid snacks (I loved eating raisins out of those little boxes when I was little!), yogurt-covered raisins (a more grown-up snack that I LOVE), and oatmeal-raisin cookies (Yum!). I wanted to stretch myself just a little and try something totally, completely different than oatmeal raisin cookies (or cinnamon-swirl raisin bread or Cinnamon-raisin rolls, etc. Not that there’s anything wrong with any of those things!). I had recently purchased some baby kale for salads, and I thought I’d try adding some raisins to a salad with kale. Super healthy and hearty and delicious!

Side note: I have had kale plenty of times before, and I always picture it as being very coarse and tough. But baby kale is much more reminiscent of fresh spinach. I love it!

Baby Kale and Golden Raisin Salad with Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette

Baby Kale and Raisin Salad

Prep time

10 mins

Total time

10 mins

Author: Lolli

Serves: 4

Ingredients

5 ounces baby kale, with stems cut off
⅓ cup golden raisins
¼ cup goat cheese, crumbled
2-4 tablespoons sliced almonds (I used "salt and pepper" flavored almonds)

Dressing

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Place kale, raisins, goat cheese, and almonds in a large bowl.
Add all dressing ingredients to a mason jar. Tighten lid on jar and shake to combine ingredients well. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat everything (note: you will probably have extra dressing. Don't drown the kale...a little goes a long way!).
Serve immediately...and enjoy! Sprinkle with extra raisins, cheese, and/or almonds, if desired.

That’s it! This salad recipe is so easy and comes together in just a few minutes. If you make the vinaigrette ahead of time and store it in the fridge, then you can whip up this kale salad for lunch in no time at all. Because kale leaves are pretty hearty, it’s ok to toss the kale with the dressing ahead of time (the kale in the pictures had been sitting in the vinaigrette for nearly an hour when I took the pictures because I had a friend come over and we started chatting.

The next day, I tossed the salad and dressing and ate it right away. Both salads were delicious. The only thing I’d warn is that the goat cheese is very soft and will soak up the dressing and get mushy. However, it still tasted fabulous!

Goat Cheese and Beet Spring Salad

Lolli — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 12:00:39 +0000

I am obsessed with this goat cheese and beet spring salad…and it’s not just about the taste (which is amazing, by the way). I am obsessed with how sinfully EASY it is to make.

Which is why I’ve been eating a lot of this salad lately…

Can you blame me?

My husband and I went out for dinner and a movie a few weeks ago, and the only restaurant near the movie theater that didn’t have a 45 minute wait was a pretty basic sit-down burger place. I wasn’t too picky about where we ate as long as we could make the movie…

I ordered a salad for dinner that night, intrigued by the beets (which I LOVE on salads) and the candied walnuts (which I also love on salads). The salad I ordered at the restaurant had grilled chicken on it, but honestly the chicken was the least-impressive thing about it.

I came home determined to recreate the beet and walnut and goat cheese salad at home…and I was amazed at how easy it was to do. And what’s better, it whipped up in LESS than 15 minutes and was perfect for this week’s 15 Minute SALAD theme.

Note: I calculated the Weight Watchers Points Plus value for this salad, and as long as you use approximately 1 Tablespoon of vinaigrette, 1 ounce of goat cheese, and 1/8 cup of candied walnuts, this salad would come in at 7 Points+. Of course, the greens and the beets are 0 points, so feel free to LOAD up on those. You could reduce the points of this recipe by using a reduced fat cheese, a lighter vinaigrette, or switching to a lighter nut.

Goat Cheese and Beet Spring Salad

Save Print

Prep time

10 mins

Total time

10 mins

Author: Lolli

Ingredients

Mixed Spring greens with spinach
Sliced canned red beets
Crumbled goat cheese
Candied walnuts
Vinaigrette:
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp honey

Instructions

Add vinegar, olive oil, and honey to a mason jar (or another container with a lid). Secure lid and shake til combined.
Set the salad ingredients on a plate: spring greens, sliced beets, crumbled goat cheese, and candied walnuts.
Drizzle salad with vinaigrette and enjoy! OR toss greens with dressing before setting on plates.

The vinaigrette is pretty basic, but if you don’t love vinaigrettes, then try another pre-made dressing. I have also made this salad with a creamy poppyseed dressing which was delicious as well…just a little sweeter than the vinaigrette.

MIRACLE WHIP, Kale & Apple Potato Salad #ProudOfIt #ad

Lolli — Wed, 21 May 2014 12:00:59 +0000

This recipe for potato salad is brought to you by MIRACLE WHIP but all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

MIRACLE WHIP and Proud of It

I can’t tell you how welcome the sunshine and warmth is after a long winter. The longer days and the warm breeze make me want to heat up the grill and move family dinner time outside. This is the season for BBQs with family and friends, for picnics at the park, for parties around the grill.

As we approach Memorial Day and the official start of summer, it’s a perfect time to fire up the grill and invite a few friends over. But every good BBQ needs some good sides, and I’ve got an amazing recipe for you today that will knock the socks off everyone at this year’s Memorial Day get-together.

Potato salad is a backyard BBQ staple. It goes perfectly next to a burger or a well-seasoned rack of ribs. But potato salad isn’t always the most exciting part of your plate. This summer, it’s time to change that. This summer, forget the ordinary (dare I say boring?) potato salad you’ve been eating. Instead, kick it up a notch with this MIRACLE WHIP KALE AND APPLE POTATO SALAD.

I made this bold and exciting (no one will call this boring!) potato salad for my family recently, and they loved it. The sweet, tangy, and creamy MIRACLE WHIP is the perfect compliment to the red potatoes (my favorite in a potato salad – skins on, of course!) and kale. I left the apples out of my personal portion since I’m allergic…but I added a few extra sprinkles of bacon so I was totally fine. My recommendation? Take that extra step and add bacon. It’s delicious!

Another huge plus about this recipe, beyond the fact that it tastes incredible, is the fact that it’s ready in just 20 minutes…although I can testify that it gets even better as it sits in the fridge for a few hours. Go ahead – take a few “tester” bites after mixing, then let it sit in the fridge while you get the rest of the BBQ ready. Everyone is going to love this!

Summer Salad Recipe: Romaine, Shrimp and Raspberry Salad

Lolli — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 11:00:19 +0000

I love salads….especially during the summer when produce is so fresh. Today a blogger friend of mine, Olfa from Our Family World offered to share this amazing summer salad recipe with you guys while I’m traveling.

What I love about summer is that we have fresh produce that helps us prepare delicious and crunchy salads! You can add berries to enhance the flavor. You can toss in some nuts, meat, cheese for a balanced lunch meal! Just be creative and you will end up with a refreshing summer salad that every family member can enjoy! The Romaine, shrimp and raspberry salad is one of my favorites! It is ready within minutes and can be a great addition to your barbecue parties!

Summer Salad Recipe: Romaine, Shrimp and Raspberry Salad

Author: Lolli

Ingredients

1 head Romaine Lettuce washed, torn and cut
¼ cup raspberries (Alternate: blueberries. Some people do not like fruits in their salad so I put the berries in a small cup next to the salad. They can add them if they want.)
½ cup cooked shrimp (I usually use frozen cooked shrimp. It is better with fresh shrimp but they are more expensive. If you use fresh ones, you can cook them with some margarine before adding them to the salad.)
¼ cherry tomatoes (They are so tasty! You don’t need to half them. It will save you few minutes)
Dressing
¼ cup of Olive oil
2 Tablespoons of lemon juice
Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, shrimp and raspberry
In a cup, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Whisk the dressing into the salad

Some of my friends do not like a salad already dressed, so I keep the dressing in a separate cup. They can help themselves at their convenience. Besides, your salad will keep its crunch longer when it is not seasoned!

Do you eat salads? How do you eat them: with fruits, without? I would love to hear from you!
