A ‘Keeper” Marinade for Grilled Flank Steak
Nothing makes me happier than having a go-to recipe in my pocket that I know works.
A tried and true staple that I can make for company and just as easily make for a family dinner knowing that everyone will leave the table with a smile on their face.
This is one of those recipes.
And really it’s all about the marinade…
Raw Kale and Walnut Pesto
Putting a simple spin on classic pesto is an easy way to give your pesto a seasonal feel. By subbing kale in for traditionally used basil, you end up with earthier, heartier flavors that we tend to lean towards as the cooler weather rolls in.
This my friends, is what I like to call, “Power Food Pesto”!
Kitchen Basics: Home-Made Veggie Stock
If you’ve never attempted to make your own veggie broth I hope to use this as an opportunity to convince you to give it a try.
Once you make (and taste) your own stock, you will wonder how you could have ever settled for it’s store bought counter part. Especially once you see how it EASY it is!
Now don’t get me wrong…
Simply Grilled Ginger-Soy Chicken
Okay, SO having a new born baby (that refuses to breast feed, therefore forcing her mommy to not only feed baby when hungry, but also be tied to a pump like a milk-maid every three hours around the the clock AND yes that includes the night time!) can be a bit time-consuming. Certainly more time consuming than I could have ever anticipated.
With that being said, I’m head over heels in love and truly enjoying my new Mommy role, I just haven’t figured out how to do anything else in the course of a day that is not associated with this new role (ie. blogging, showering, washing the dishes;)).
Classic Pesto (just a little lighter!)
This is an updated version of my Pesto recipe. I had a ton of basil in the fridge and wanted to see if I could lighten up my recipe just a little bit more.
By cutting back just a kiss on the oil, cheese, and nuts I was able to make my original recipe even lighter without sacrificing any flavor!
