I've loved to cook ever since I was little, and this is a place I can share some of my favorite recipes with you! I have spent years collecting recipes from magazines, friends, family and the world wide web. As I try them out, I will share them here.
This is a recipe I found in 2011 from Real Simple and thought sounded fantastic. I finally got around to making it and it was incredibly easy and tasted wonderful too.
Acorn squash is so easy to prepare and is a great side dish, especially if you are looking to cut calories. If you are not looking to cut calories, you can add brown sugar, butter and cinnamon to the squash before baking.
This is a quick recipe to make any night of the week. It also freezes well if you want to double the batch and make enough for a second meal. Pictured with corn bread.
Homemade breads are at the heart of Moroccan cuisine and culture: Used as serving utensils to scoop up food at meals, they're also a symbol of hospitality since bread is shared with guests. Carry on the Mediterranean tradition by welcoming diners to your table with Moroccan Flatbreads, substantial enough for an entrée or as a partner for soup or salad. Add cheese or herbs to vary the filling. Follow these steps for working with the dough and shaping the breads.
This recipe was originally published in the April 2007 issue of Cooking Light. Old-fashioned Caesar salad dressing recipes typically call for raw egg yolks, but the yolks in this version are cooked. They're heated with the other dressing ingredients so there's less risk of the yolks scrambling. I used white wine vinegar and anchovy paste (because that is what I had on hand).
