Red Lentil Burgers Please!

I mentioned before in one of my posts, that I went to the farmer’s market and picked up all tips of veggies, beans and peas.  Red lentils was one of them.  I also received a VIP bag at the Philadelphia Magazines Philly Cooks event which came with a big bag of red lentils. I decided…

Spinach Smoothie

Since the last smoothie was so good.  I wanted to try to make another one and this is my ALL time favorite smoothie.  I seriously wanted to lick the glass haha.  I never thought that a spinach smoothie could be so refreshing and so deliciuos.  I think alot of people probably feel the same way.  When you think…

Healthy Smoothie

I really love having smoothies. Nothing beats making them at home.  You know what you’re putting in them and how well your fruits and veggies are washed, you also know where they are purchased; whether Organic, from the Supermarket or from a Farmers Market.  I wanted something not too filling but with lots of flavor, and packed…

Lentil Soup with Poached Egg

This week I have been on a veggie kick, and who doesn’t love some kind of veggie soup.  I went to the Farmer’s Market over the weekend and picked up packs of different beans etc.  I wanted to make a classic Lentil soup but with a twist, Instead of typical celery I added a red…

Black Beans, Hummus and Spinach Wrap

  I wanted to share with you all something super easy and fast. I really think this is great for lunch and even dinner.  I took a Multi Grain wrap with flaxseed, added some spicy hummus, spinach and some black beans (In my black beans I like to add some chopped onions, garlic powder and cayenne pepper). …

Brussels & Butternut Squash

One of the things I love to do is to incorporate veggies into my dishes or at least try to most of the time.  I had a couple of things just sitting in the refrigerator and this is what I came up with.  Making dinner every night for the family always keeps my mind moving…

Martha Washington’s Candy

Happy President’s Day!  I figured in honor of today I would bring something in tribute to Mr. George Washington’s wife.  Some of you may not know but I had the pleasure of looking through Martha’s Cookbook what an honor and how interesting it was to see all these recipes first hand.  Here is a delicious recipe that was…

Las Rocas Spanish Red Blend 2009

I really enjoy going out wine tasting or to wine bars, but there is nothing like being in the comfort of your own home and wearing what you like.  All this while enjoying the music you like with a nice glass of wine.  Last night I enjoyed a red robust wine.  It was called Las Rocas…

Valentine’s Mini Cheesecake

Happy Valentine’s day! But just remember everyday should be love day.  If you are single, love yourself like no other.  I wanted to make something special for all of you.  I made little mini cheesecakes. I made them pink with a couple drops of organic red food coloring (there is no flavor in food dye).  These…

Homemade Wheat Bread

Being a Baker’s daughter I figured it was about time I made some Homemade bread.  I do not have a bread machine or maker.  I use my hands, which are the best equipment in my grandmother’s eyes.  Anyway making bread at home does require patience and time, but it does payoff.  It’s affordable, healthy and makes your house…

Zucchini Quiche

Yes I said Quiche! I love making Quiche.  It’s one of those things that you can put any kind of filling in and it just works.  Since today is Monday I figured I would keep it meatless.  I know alot of Quiches are made with a pastry crust but I figured I could cut that out and make…

Chinese Leftovers

Ever wonder what to do with leftover chinese food; especially the rice?  Usually Fridays at or house we either eat out or order in.  Last night we had chinese food and we had plenty of leftovers.  Today I was about to prepare a leftover plate when I thought of making something different.  I came up…
