Crisp Potatoes and Squash

This was a great meat-less dinner. I will make this again soon. The photo does not do this dish justice.

- Fully cook several (3-5) potatoes either in oven or microwave. I used red potatoes.
Set potatoes to cool for about 15-20 minutes, then cut them about 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil in skillet on medium-high heat. Move pan around to get oil distributed around bottom of skillet.
- Sprinkle an even layer of Italian bread crumbs, Italian seasonings and garlic salt on the oil.
- Lay potatoes flat on oil and seasonings. Cook with lid off for about 3-5 minutes or until bread crumbs are sticking to the potatoes and are browning. Flip the potatoes to get browned on opposite side.
- Add sliced yellow squash and spinach leaves and any additional seasonings that are needed. Put the lid on the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until squash is tender.
I served this dish with garden rotini pasta with melted Smart Balance Butter and Italian seasonings.

    This looks delicious! We also make a cheeseless pizza, but add squash. I grate some yellow crookneck and steam it a little (just put it in a frying pan with a little water) and then put that on the pizza. My dairy eaters like it that way, too. Hardly ever have cheese around anymore. Only if we are having guests.

White Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls - Bread Machine Dough cycle

I always have assumed that the best white rolls have dairy ingredients, but I tried this recipe for Easter ( I made them into resurrection rolls with a marshmallow in the center) and they turned out delicious. My husband and I both agreed that they would make great cinnamon rolls, so I tried it today and was not disappointed.  My favorite part is that the dough is made in the bread machine. That way, the prep time/active time is cut down, which is a winner for my life. Here are my two new recipes for White Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls. White Dinner Rolls (bread machine – dough cycle) Place ingredients into bread machine pan: 1 cup water 2 Tbsp margarine 1 egg 3 ¼ cups unbleached all purpose flour ¼ cup white sugar 1 tsp salt 3 tsp active dry yeast After dough is done (1.5 hours), pour out of the bread pan and onto clean surface. Divide into rolls and place into greased (coconut oil) pan. Brush tops of rolls with coconut oil (optional).  Let rise in ...

Quinoa, Butternut Squash, Chicken, Bean Soup

About a month back, I tried a recipe using butternut squash, which isn't a common vegetable in my kitchen. It was on sale and I thought I'd give it another chance.  Find the original  RECIPE HERE  and be amazed at the long list of hearty ingredients that I stashed into my rendition of this soup (see below). I couldn't resist a recipe from a fellow cook named "Chelsea", and as a bonus, the soup turned out delicious, although I can't brag that it was a family favorite. It wasn't my kids' favorite. Sometimes healthful and full of new flavors isn't as satisfying to them as boring mac'n'cheese from a box. I can say that I was successful at hiding the leftovers of this "soup" (which had thickened significantly in the fridge) as the filling for enchiladas using  THIS  favorite enchilada sauce recipe and with fluffy white tortillas. Ingredients in my soup: chicken broth, chicken breasts kidney beans garbanzo beans ...

Layered Enchiladas a Little Different

I made these delicious enchiladas using this  recipe for the sauce. I made a lot of the enchilada sauce mix and it's so easy to throw it together for a meal that way (Scroll down for the sauce mix recipe and instruction).  Enchilada topped with fresh Pico de Gallo. I added an unusual ingredient to these enchiladas, green cabbage, chopped small. It gave them added moisture (since the cheese is lacking and can't accomplish that) and nutrition and honestly, none of us could taste it in there, even though I put like half a head. In the bowl of chopped ingredients: grilled chicken, cut bite-sized Cabbage cut small Black and Pinto Beans Finely chopped red bell pepper. Coarsely chopped cilantro Garlic Salt Boiling Enchilada Sauce Coating tortillas and layering ingredients. You can make the sauce each time you make enchiladas using THIS RECIPE , or you can make some dry sauce mix in advance to help dinner preparation be more speedy. ...
