This was my BIG WIN in an otherwise relatively boring food week. I love this stuff. I’ve made the bean spread twice already, once for a guest. I’m working on another batch along with another focaccia. I can’t possibly convey how much I love this stuff. Seriously. I’ve eaten quite a lot of hummus in […]
It’s tough for me to come up with interesting ingredients for calzones. The last attempt was tasty enough but bland by my standards. The mushrooms and spinach just weren’t the best buddies for a calzone. I like something a little more flavorful. This attempt with olives and spinach was sooooooo good. It will be repeated […]
This is the regular hummus with the addition of about a 1/2 cup of kalamata olives thrown in with the garlic at the beginning. I’ve been in a wrap mood lately, so I went with it. This one is made with a sprouted grain tortilla, shredded carrots, spinach, and the olive hummus that was heated […]
Oh yum. Cherries are delicious right now. Add that to the fact that I just picked up the best gadget ever… a cherry pitter. More cherries please. This was a simple romaine salad topped with croutons made from fresh baked whole gain bread, and halved cherries. The dressing was a pre-made version, but I added […]
We took a break at a pub on a recent road trip, and the little guy fell in love with artichokes on his pizza. This is my version using the puttanesca dough topped with tomatoes, olives, artichokes, and spinach. (sans cheese)
I had an amazing hummus sandwich at a bakery this week. The only problem was the bread quickly got really soggy. Other than that the mix of flavors was amazing. This is my exact replica with one exception. We made a dense whole grain dough and made that into little naan/pita sized individual servings. Instead […]
The mini sous chef isn’t a fan of sandwiches and such quite yet. He likes his food separate and whole. I can respect that. Today he had our lunch, only deconstructed. Pita, basil hummus, avocado, tomatoes, kalamata olives, basil
During a recent road trip the little guy fell in love with these whole wheat pitas from Whole Foods. This lunch was simply one of those along with a dollop of peanut butter, red pepper, and olives.
It’s been a little while (very short time) since we made spinach dough, so it was about time. This one included kalamata olives and sun dried tomatoes. I made this into french bread loaves, but it could easily be bread sticks or pizza dough. We had chunks of this with a super simple and […]
Whole wheat pasta, tomatoes, olives, almonds (and the 2yo wanted a pickle in the bowl too :))
