Strawberry Frozen Yoghurt
It’s snowing outside and roads promised to be a mess for the commute this evening, so I worked from home today. It was the most productive day I have had in a while. Needless to say, it actually felt like I was busier today than on the days that I commute into the office. At least then I have some down time to write blog posts, catch up on other email and generally decompress before getting home to exercise, cook dinner and get things ready for the next day.
Roasted Tomato Soup with Pesto
Tomato soup was a household favorite when I was a kid. Usually of the canned variety, sometimes with a bit of hot milk added in. And always with some bread on the side. This recipe takes a childhood favorite and transforms it into something that is very, very grown-up.
The flavors in this soup are just amazing. Roasted tomatoes add some richness and depth.
Strawberry Basil Green Smoothie
The idea for this smoothie came from a cooking show, where someone mentioned in a matter-of-fact kind of way that strawberry and basil always tastes great. Wait, strawberry and basil? I had never thought to combine the two, but of course I was immediately intrigued and I just had to try it.
Delicious Gluten-Free Waffles
So I have struggled for so long to make the perfect waffles. Nine times out of 10 my waffles would stick to the waffle iron and nothing I seemed to do seemed to work (non-stick spray, check; more oil in batter, check; more heat, less heat, check check check!)
Eventually I decided I needed a waffle iron that I could actually control and so opted to get a good old-fashioned cast-iron waffle iron. If you haven’t already realized, I love cast-iron cookware.
The perfect black beans
In the wintertime I crave food that is warm and sustaining. These black beans fit the bill perfectly. The beans are beautifully seasoned, with a nice tang from the lime juice and a subtle kick from the ancho chili powder. When served over brown rice they make a complete and filling meal.
The best part about this recipe though is that it’s so quick and easy to pull together.
