Everything-In Cookies

My Everything-In Cookies are a dream to make and even dreamier to devour. But don't fret - these cookies are relativley healthy containing only 1/2 a cup of sugar. This recipie is also a one-bowl-wonder which will save you lots of time in prep and clean-up. However, I do highly reccomend taking a few extra minutes for the final (optional) step of drizzling chocolate. This will really add a stunning affect to your cookies and upgrade their apearance to create a jaw-dropping result with minimal effort. Substitting nuts or chocolate is possible, as long as you subsitute for similar ingredients and equal amounts (for example: 1/4 chopped walnuts for 1/4 chopped pecans, or 1 cup milk chocolate chips for 1 cup caramel chips).

Falafel

This is a recipe for a healthy Falafel patty. The traditional falafel meal consists of about five deep-fried chickpea patties stuffed inside a pita bread with salad and tahini. I bake my Falafel patties which transform them from being fast food to nutritious without losing any flavours. It’s relatively easy to make but requires pre-soaking the chickpea beans, so you need to start the preparations the day before.

Spaghetti With Roasted Tomato and Garlic Sauce

Garlic! I don't know if it is because of my Italian heritage or just because I love the flavor, but garlic is an essential component to so many recipes that I develop. Whether I use it as a base to sauté, or crush it to flavor olive oil, or chop it up to use as part of a marinade... you will rarely find my kitchen void of many heads of garlic.I decided to roast a large head of garlic with sweet plump grape tomatoes as the base for this sauce. Adding in some dry white wine, fresh basil leaves and the tart yet buttery cerignola olives make this a one of kind sauce. My family loves this dish and I hope that yours will too!

But unlike the cake, these cookies are light and airy. They are also SUPER soft and melt right in your mouth! They are also filled with some healthy yumminess too! Like carrots of course, but also raisins and unsweetened coconut!But I’m not going to lie. They have a WHOLE lot of naughty too.

Double Chocolate Beet Muffins - The Kitchen Garten

Beets are the only vegetable that I’ve ever mistaken for cranberry sauce. True story. And that is one mistake that I have never forgotten. My 8-year-old self scooped up that bright magenta orb onto my spoon expecting the sweet, tart taste of smooth, canned cranberry sauce only to get a dense, blocky chunk of…. something.

Roasted Street Corn

An easy side dish I make ever year with my sweet Indiana corn. Easy, packed with flavor and a crowd favorite! Using a good mayo and sweet corn makes the difference! Another variation to this one is boiling the corn on the stove and cutting it right off into a bowl and mixing in the ingredients for an easier (less messy) way to eat it! I love both ways. I tried street corn for the first time when I was in Mexico with a college group and I instantly fell in love!What are some of your favorite ways to serve corn?

Mexican Shredded Beef Enchiladas

These saucy, cheesy shredded beef enchiladas are my new favorite! Full of flavor and stuffed with greatness - I often make these on Sunday nights when we've had a full weekend. It's a great meal to sit down to, super comforting and hearty. Just enough Mexican flavor - the shredded beef will melt in your mouth. The leftovers just get better too - make sure to eat some for lunch the next day!This post is sponsored by the Iowa Beef Council.

Lemon Ricotta Cake With Almond Flour

Sometimes it's just about the simple things and the simple flavors. This cake is "nothing special," but it has truly earned a rotation spot in my normal cooking. It is full of good fats and rich flavors that make it truly something special whether it is for a dessert after dinner, paired with tea in the afternoon, or for breakfast with a cup of coffee. I mentioned it is full of good fats. The cake is made up of almond flour, eggs, ricotta cheese, and lemon juice and zest. Only a smidge of sugar (and you can use monk fruit sweetener if you really want me make this low to no carbs). I was not kidding when I say it could be eaten for breakfast, that is usually just how I enjoyed it, and I utterly dislike sweets in the morning. It's texture is light and airy thanks to the ricotta and the nutty flavors coming from the almond flour make this so memorable. Make it right away!Check out more recipes on my site here: https://www.instagram.com/theblackcatkitchen1/

Thai Basil Shrimp With Coconut

Ever since we experience the quarantine due to the pandemic, I've been appreciating small things that I always took for granted. For example, being able to go grocery shopping whenever I want to and being able to find all the ingredients I need. On the plus side, I think that after a year of whipping out dishes from leftovers, I have become a more creative cook. Take, for instance, this Thai basil shrimp with coconut. I originally wanted to make a tamarind sauce but since I didn't have tamarind, I whipped up something else. And you know what? I'm almost certain that the outcome was better than the original plan. Finished with toasted coconut and fresh Thai basil, this shrimp dish is sublime!

Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins

These are so moist, the sour Cream adds that moistness.

Sloppy Joes

From Googling, a cook named Joe in a cafe in Sioux City, Iowa added a tomato sauce to a loose meat sandwich. It must have been a favourite and took off because it became known as a sloppy joe, a classic comfort food on many tables in America.Anyway, homemade sloppy joes are incredibly easy to make, and come together in one skillet in about 20 minutes or so. Browned beef is mixed with onion and green pepper and simmered in a sweetened tomato/ketchup sauce.So, why not feel like a kid again and serve up a Sloppy Joe for dinner tonight? Just don't forget the napkins!

Stir-fried Beets, Beet Greens and Tofu

I didn’t used to like beets, but over the last few years, I have come to love their earthy flavor, stunning natural color and extreme textural versatility, not to mention their seemingly endless health benefits. For vegans, beet varieties have the ability to pose as entirely different foods like sushi, burgers, and even “Beet Wellington”. I also love that since the roots, stalks, and greens are all edible and quite tasty, beets alone can provide an entire dish of three contrasting textures and flavors.I love adding tofu and tempeh to my veggie and grain-based vegan dishes, and this combo of tofu and beets was inspired by Martha Rose Shulman at the NY Times. It is quite a typical stir-fry with flavors of ginger, garlic, sesame and soy, with the welcome addition of Red and Golden beets, a pinch of crushed red chilis, and cilantro! This Stir-Fry is very quick, and works equally well on its own, or served over rice or quinoa.

Pea Guacamole

People I know seem to feel strongly about eating peas. They either love them or hate them.I, personally, love peas. Always have. As a kid, I used to eat them straight from our little garden like candy. They are sweet and juicy and just plain yummy.I am married to someone who hates peas. I don’t know what peas ever did to him, but just the mention of peas sends him running in the opposite direction. But peas are more than just yummy little snacks; they are also full of good vitamins and protein. So when I came up with this recipe, I just didn’t tell my husband that included peas. He ate it and loved it!The avocados have a fairly string flavor, so the main taste is not peas. They add sweetness and a subtle flavor, but don’t really stand out.This is a great snack, appetizer or even sandwich spread now that the weather has gotten warmer.

Chicken Pesto Pasta

This yummy Chicken Pesto Pasta has become a favorite on our weekly dinner menu rotation there is good reason(s) for that!#1 It’s SUPER quick and easy to make!#2 It’s SUPER versatile (definitely one of those ‘throw whatever you have in your fridge/freezer/pantry’ kind of meals)#3 It’s as healthy or decadent as you want it to be!This Chicken Pesto Pasta is SO darn good and as I mentioned versatile too.Since this meal is one I usually make when I’m short on time I’ve created a few ‘shortcuts’ over the years. The first one starts with the chicken which, besides the AMAZING sauce created for this dish is the main character.

Apple Crumble

Apple with cinnamon is always a good idea, now what gets me about the Apple Crumble is how easy it is to make it and just how delicious it tastes. There aren’t a lot of secrets when it comes to making a good Homemade Apple Crumble recipe. To me, the most important part is the perfect balance between sweet, tart and sour and of course, making sure that crumble on top is nice and crisp.If you like your apples softer, you should be cutting them into thinner slices, whereas if you are like me and like it better when theres a nice bite to the apples, 1 inch slices is the way to go!Apple Crumble doesn’t take long to prep, doesn’t have a lot of ingredients and it bakes pretty quickly in the oven. Which makes it the ultimate dessert for family and friends dinner nights. This dessert is definitely best served warm and I like to go the extra mile and finish it with some caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.
