I’ve never been really into eggs, but ever since I had the girls I’ve been making them a lot more often. They are super easy to make, a great source of protein, and an excellent way to add in other nutritious and delicious foods like vegetables and cheese. Although eggs are typically thought of as a breakfast food, when I…
Disclosure: By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by The Soyfoods Council and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. Tofu is one of those foods that people tend to be skeptical about. I don’t make tofu that often, but when I do and my husband asks what’s…
Iced Orange-Cranberry Biscotti are a delicious dairy-free dessert that’s easy to make and elegant to serve. A great homemade gift to bring to a friend’s house for brunch or to wrap as a holiday gift. Biscotti, or as I grew up calling it and it’s known in the Jewish tradition, mandel bread, looks so fancy, but is shockingly easy to make….
It’s a scorcher out there! On days like this, who wants to be in her kitchen cooking a hot meal?! There’s a saying “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen!” It’s no fun standing over hot flames when it’s hot outside, but dinner still needs to be put on the table. A few weeks ago I…
Spring is here, and that means flowers are in bloom as are “the first shoots of spring.” That was the theme for April’s Recipe ReDux challenge. Unfortunately I didn’t get my act together to whip something up in time for the challenge, but I happened to make a Nutritioulicious recipe that fit the bill a few days later. There was…
Have you ever cooked “en papillote”? If you aren’t sure what that means, let me share with you this great cooking technique! En papillote is French for “in parchment,” and it’s a nutritious and delicious — or as I like to say, Nutritioulicious! — way of cooking. Food cooked in parchment paper is steamed, which results in perfectly cooked, moist…
By Megan Kian This past January I spent a few days with some close friends in Arizona. As we trekked through the beautiful “red rocks” that comprise Sedona, we scrounged up energy for a three-hour hike from the jerky we had bought in a town nearby. Beef jerky is easy to make, a great source of protein, and low in…
With fall ending and the cold winter months approaching, I was wondering how I could use those few apple stragglers left from apple picking season. Instead of making an apple pie, I decided to make one of my favorite snacks — fruit leather! Fruit leather is a quick, easy snack and no matter what fruit you use it packs a…
It’s that time of year again – lots of cucumbers available fresh from the farm. A couple of summers ago I shared a recipe for a new twist on traditional cucumber salad. With the plethora of CSA cucumbers that have piled up I decided to try another new recipe showcasing this nutritioulicious vegetable. My cucumber soup recipe was inspired by the one from Eating Well, with just a few modifications. It was really easy to make, and quick too! … read more »
As you may know from summer’s past, I love farm-fresh tomatoes. What I love even more is the simple yet nutritious and delicious combination of tomatoes and basil. Lucky for me I have both from my CSA this week, which makes me so happy! This afternoon as I was looking in my fridge and pantry for an afternoon snack, I…
A couple of weeks ago was Cinco de Mayo, a day when people were out having tequila shots, chips and salsa, and all sorts of Mexican food. Unfortuantely I didn’t get to celebrate that day, but reading blog posts about the day definitely put me in the mood for some Mexican food of my own. So the next night I whipped up some fish tacos for a fun, interactive dinner. The next time you’re in the mood for Mexican, make some at home and try this recipe! … read more »
