Chanterelle Mushroom Pizza Recipe

Hey there foodies friends, So happy to share with you that Episode #2 of Behind the Greek Apron is up and we hope you enjoy it. I want to thank everyone who listened to the first episode and supported us. Krystina and I are very new to podcasting and we are trying to figure things out. One thing I do know is that it is so much fun. On to my Roasted Chanterelle Mushroom Pizza Recipe. Mushrooms!!! Just love them. Mushrooms and Dill I can’t live without them. I found Chanterelle Mushrooms in the supermarket the other day. This is quite unusual because all I am able to find is white and portobello mushrooms, so you can imagine my surprise when I came across these in the produce section. So, this pizza is not really made with dough batter but with one wholewheat pita bread. I marinated the pita bread on both sides in lemon juice and olive oil for 10 minutes and topped it with the marinated mushrooms. This pita bread was quite large so it was enough for two people. There are various sizes of pita bread in the market from small to large so adapt the ingredients to the size of the pita bread. If you’re fasting, vegetarian or vegan then you will love this roasted Chanterelle Mushroom recipe. For the fans of Mushrooms like me well this recipe is simply delicious!! BTW you can use any kind of Mushrooms you prefer I was just delighted to find these specific mushrooms. Have a wonderful and safe weekend everyone!! KALI MAS OREXI!! 🙂 Low Fat Cheese Pizza on Tortilla Wrap“Low Fat Cheese Pizza on Tortilla Wrap” — Foodzesty

Easter Egg Blossom Cookies

We've all seen Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies around the Christmas holidays, but today I present to you something better - Easter Egg Blossom Cookies. Specifically Creme eggs or Caramilk eggs for the most decadent Easter treat ever! I'm a caramel girl through and through but my husband is a Creme Egg lover, so for my cookies I did half Caramilk egg and half Creme egg. Unfortunately, once unwrapped the chocolates are virtually indistinguishable so it was luck of the draw as to whether you'd bite into a Caramilk or a Creme Egg cookie. Pro tip - keep them in separate containers if you are using more than one type of chocolate egg! If you like this recipe, you should try Peanut Butter Mini Egg Cookies or Lemon Pudding Cookies - both are perfect for spring as well!

M&M Granola Bars

We are only a few weeks away from moving. So this past weekend, I took on the challenge of beginning to clean out our freezer and kitchen cabinets. As I was going through our freezer, I found up to 10 fun sized packs of M&Ms my daughter, Charlie, had gotten for her birthday. M&Ms ("Meemees" as she likes to call them) are her favorite!! But there is no way she will eat (be allowed to eat) all of those M&Ms by the time we move so I had to come up with something to do with them. That’s when I got the idea to make some fun granola bars out of them. These granola bars aren’t too sweet and are a semi healthy treat for her to enjoy.They are only a few ingredients and super simple to make. I added coconut just because I have some I need to get rid of, but you definitely can leave it out if you are not a coconut fan.I cut them into 16 bars, making them a perfectly portioned (145 calorie per bar) snack. I hope you and your kids can have some fun in the kitchen making these soon. They are both kid and adult approved!

Crunchy Kale Parmesan Salad

This Crunchy Kale Parmesan Salad is so easy to make with only 4 ingredients and so delicious! The fresh lemon juice and olive oil in this salad soften the kale and brighten up this hearty vegetable. This salad will make the perfect side dish for a summer BBQ, picnic, or dinner. If you are unsure of kale, this is a great recipe to break you in. I’m sure you have heard by now that kale is good for you. Raw kale is packed with vitamins, calcium, and iron to name just a few things. It’s low in calories, and high in protein and fiber. Given its low-calorie content, kale is said to be among the most nutrient-dense foods in existence.

Hawaiian-Style Salmon

I know there are already hundreds of salmon recipes out there, but I'm always looking for more. It's such a versatile fish that can easily be dressed up or down and it always tastes great. To venture away from the normal miso salmon that I always make, I decided to go Hawaiian. Inspired by Hawaiian shrimp, I used the same flavors to create Hawaiian-style salmon. Baked garlic butter salmon with a caramelized Meyer lemon relish? Yes, please! Even if you choose to skip the caramelized meyer lemon relish, this salmon will be tasty all on its own thanks to the spices and garlic butter. Swap out the salmon for shrimp, shellfish, cod, or even chicken for another meal option.

Mediterranean Fava Beans

Healthy, filling, savory and absolutely delicious! This Mediterranean green fava bean dish is super easy to make and will leave you feeling light and satisfied 😊Have your taste buds changed over the years? They actually have for me. When I was a little girl, my mom used to make green fava beans all the time and I absolutely hated it! I don't know what it was but I couldn't stomach it. However, as I grew older, I've noticed a change in my taste preference. As a little girl I used to love sweet but as a grown woman, now I prepare savory and sour dishes.This meal now is a definite favorite of mine, give it a try and let me know how you like it

Carrot Cake Cookies

Carrot cake has carrots, so it’s technically a vegetable, Seriously, though, I totally love carrot cake. When I was in culinary school, I was gifted the carrot cake recipe of the grandmother of my boss. And you know what I did...at some point through the years, I lost the recipe. And I have never been able to recreate it. I’ve come close, but I haven’t gotten it just where I want it. I’ll keep trying, but in the meantime, I have several other options for carrot goodies, including these delicious carrot cake cookies!My best friend from my culinary school internship actually provided me with the original recipe for these delicious carrot cake cookies. After a few tweaks, I’ve made them my own, and I love the result. One of my favorite things about these cookies is that they are delicious with or without the icing. I could totally gobble them up on their own! Also, in all seriousness, they are loaded with carrots, pecans, and raisins, so while they are not a go-to healthy option, they are slightly more guilt-free than some other dessert choices.

Racuchy (Polish Apple "pancakes")

Racuchy is one of our traditional Polish dishes, very similar to pancakes but they're actually yeast-based. My favourite are apple racuchy, and that's what I made today!This meal is a part of an on-going weekly collaboration over at Instagram, where a group of fellow foodies and I come up with some new themes or challenges each week in order to motivate ourselves to get out of our comfort zones and spend more time in the kitchen. Anyone can join, so if you feel like you'd like to experiment more in the kitchen but lack motivation and inspiration - go over to Instagram and DM any one of us to join! :)If you like my content you can check here for more!

Sweet and Smoky Tempeh Bowl

This Sweet and Smoky Tempeh is an absolute weeknight staple for me. The simple marinade is made of five pantry staples in equal parts, so it is one of the few recipes I actually have memorized!If you are unsure whether you like tempeh, I would recommend that you try this recipe! Some people say that it helps to boil the tempeh first, but I have never done that. I just whip up a marinade and toss the tempeh cubes in for 30 minutes to an hour. The marinating is absolutely necessary! For this bowl, I paired the tempeh with some marinated kale, roasted sweet potatoes, and topped it with a spicy cilantro cashew sauce.

Raspberry Almond Crumb Bars

Good morning and a very happy Monday to you! How was your weekend? I know that many of you received a lot of snow this weekend.

We loved it and so did the pups.

Mexican Avocado Salad (with Homemade Chili Lime Dressing!)

Summer time is coming - slowly but surely - and to me that means allll the salads! I am constantly eating this, lentil feta salad, and southwest pasta salad in the nice weather. If you've never put avocado in salad, then you're missing out! Salads with avocados are great for lunches, sides at dinner, or to bring to a pot luck! This avocado salad is one of my favorites to make because it is:quick - it can be thrown together in no time!healthy - it's mostly vegetables after all!tasty - the chili lime dressing really kicks this up a notchfilling - avocado and black beans are both good for keeping you fulleasy - can you chop an avocado and open a can of beans? Great - then you can make this salad!gluten-free - no gluten required to make thisGrab some avocados and let's make a salad!

The Hospitality Pineapple Salsa Bowl

The pineapple is recognized as a traditional symbol of hospitality. Pineapples always bring back many childhood memories along with some more recent ones. My home back in Arkansas is filled with pineapple decor. From front porch flags to our living room sofa you can almost hear the song of hospitality being sung the moment you cross the threshold. For many of you that know my mom, Cindy, you know she is one the most hospitable southern women you will ever meet. Anyone and everyone that walks through her front door is going to receive a big warm hug followed by the “neck squeeze,” a house tour, and an amazing meal. You will certainly feel right at home the entire visit. I know my love for cooking and entertaining came from my hospitable mom. She set the example for me by showing me how to take care of guests, friends, family and even strangers when they came into our home. One of my first jobs was in the hospitality department of a fortune 500 company as a “Hospitality Specialist.” And those lessons I learned from my momma Cindy on her pineapple couch are still truer than ever today. Treat your guests warmly, welcomingly and generously. The unique fruit Mr. Pineapple will always have a special significance in my heart. And with the pineapple salsa bowl, it can have a hospitality significance for your next gathering too!The Pineapple Salsa Bowl can mean more to your guests than just an appetizer at your next fiesta. Let it be the centerpiece of your Mexican stack up night by going the extra mile to make your guests feel welcomed.If you make this special dish for your next gathering tag me and tag

Homemade Chocolate Granola Bars

This recipe is for all you ladies looking to have a healthy chocolate easy energy snack. Ive been testing different vegan and gluten free options while still being tasty. This recipe is made with walnuts and granola as the base and then dipped in melted dark chocolate. It’s a quick recipe that can be stored for many days in a sealed container.you simply blend the ingredients together, bake the mixture and that’s it, dip in chocolate and freeze, and you’ve got healthy energy snack bars for whenever you have that chocolate bar craving. I prefer at home not buying chocolate bars, if you can make them at home with all natural ingredients I think it’s a better way to snack. Without added sugars it’s just a better way of living in my opinion. You can add coconut on top of the cholesterol before freezing if you are a coconut lover. This recipe is simply chocolate but I do recommend the addition of shredded coconut.

Spring Cheese Board

Springtime is a perfect time of the year to enjoy the outdoors, picnics at the park or wine tasting with a delicious cheese board pairings.I want to share this beautiful and delicious cheese boards I prepared a few weeks ago, when we visited one of our favorite wineries in Santa Inez Valley in Buellton, CA.I called ahead of time to get the list of the wine tasting flight to coordinate the cheese pairings and enjoy a beautiful day with the hubby.Here is my easy guide:White Wines are best paired with Soft cheeses. Sauvignon blanc goes well with goat cheese and brie cheese with a sparkling wine or champagne wine. .Light body red wines like Pinot Noirs are paired with more nutty cheese like gruyere.More bolder red wines like Cabernets and Zinfandels, goes well with aged cheddar or one of my favorite is the Toscano cheese. This is a nutty cheese that pairs well with all red wines.

Sundried Tomato Tapenade With Almonds and Mint

This Recipe is unbelievably simple and yet delicious. Using nothing but health supportive raw ingredients, it is an instant boost to the Cauliflower Soup or anything else you could think to put it on. The flavorful combination of Mint, Lemon, Garlic and Sun Dried Tomatoes with the satisfying crunch of raw Almonds; you can’t go wrong. This Tapenade takes 4 minutes to put together, using a food processor. If you don’t have a food processor then no worries! You can chop everything by hand. This will take you a bit more time… but not much! When I was in college, I would make this all of the time and hand chop. If you need to hand chop these ingredients, simply use slivered almonds to save time and effort. If you have to use whole almonds, place them in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a mallet or the bottom of a heavy sauce pot! I can’t wait to hear how you like this recipe! Please tell me what you would eat this Tapenade with yourself! Happy cooking!
