Sink Your Teeth Into Blood-Orange Sorbet
Inspired by the vampire-themed party, I decided to make my own bloody, yet delicious, treat. With Halloween only a few days away, I pulled out the ice-cream maker and started on a blood orange and mint sorbet — a perfect treat for your fangtastic friends! Although the last time I made ice cream, I had a problem with curdling custard, making this sorbet was easier and much less risky.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Bean and Bacon Soup
On chilly weeknights, I gravitate toward one-pot soups and stews. To make them a complete meal, I toss in beans, as they not only add a creamy quality to the meal but are also a great source of protein and fiber.
However, as wholesome as beans are, they don't have much flavor on their own.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Pork Chops With Apples
The classic pork chops and applesauce go sophisticated with this recipe. Instead of bone-in pork chops and pureed apples, it employs boneless pork loin and whole Granny Smith apples.
The apples are sautéed until soft and the pork is topped with a simple pan sauce.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Baked Potatoes With Brussels Sprouts
Although it takes an hour for a potato to bake, I still consider baked potatoes a quick and simple meal. Why? Because they require virtually no work.
Monday's Leftovers: Chicken Teriyaki Meatballs
I can't always find ground chicken at the store, so when I do, I stock up on it, and use it in various dishes. Last night, I busted out the wok for a spicy and speedy Thai noodle stir-fry, and tonight I'm using the rest of the ground meat to create a newfangled twist on a familiar favorite: meatballs.
Rather than the typical pork-and-beef mix, I'm taking the meatball to a different level with a mixture of chicken, scallions, and ginger — then tossing in shelled edamame, snow peas, and rice to the mix for a balanced supper.
Time to Get the Carrots Glazing
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays; however, eating the same dishes year after year can be a little monotonous, so this Thursday all the classics are getting a modern twist. Glazed carrots have always been an essential dish for my feast, but I crave more complex flavor. Pomegranate-balsamic glazed carrots fits the ticket perfectly.The sweet glaze combines honey, balsamic vinegar, and pomegranate juice.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Mediterranean Shrimp Salad
When making quick and simple dinners, it's important to look to the grocery store for help. While everyone is familiar with using rotisserie chicken, cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp should also become a staple of your weeknight pantry. If you think about it, shrimp is practically as versatile as chicken!
Fast & Easy Dinner: Creamy Barley Salad With Apples
Looking for a simple way to bulk up the nutrients of dinner salads? Add a whole grain like barley. According to FitSugar, consuming barley could lead to lower cholesterol levels.
Healthy Ways to Deal With Thanksgiving Leftovers
Thanksgiving never seems to be a one-day affair, at least not the food part. Properly stored, leftovers can last up to four days, beckoning you to eat more, more, and then some! This Thanksgiving, resist the urge to overindulge by finding healthier alternatives for your T-day leftovers.
Tips For a Kid-Friendly but Impressive Snack and Treat Spread
Creating a tasty Thanksgiving spread that's nutritious and kid-friendly can require planning and creative presentation. While grown-ups are thrilled to nosh on decadent glazed carrots or Maryland-Style crab dip, the kiddos probably couldn't care less. You can whip up an impressive, but simple kid-friendly spread of snacks and treats using items from your cupboard and Thanksgiving groceries.
