Cauliflower Steaks with Red Pepper Romesco Sauce & Crispy Breadcrumbs
My wife and I hosted her parents this past weekend, and I was jonesing to make a new recipe while they were here. I had recently received the book The Vegetable Butcher from some friends for Christmas, and was eager to dive in and make some of the recipes. So after a bit of perusing through the book, I landed on this recipe for Cauliflower Steaks, and decided it was a winner for first recipe to make from the book. I had previously seen recipes for cauliflower steaks, but had never actually made them yet, so this was a perfect chance to do so. The end result was nothing short of phenemonal — a recipe I’m sure to make again.
Healthier Baked Pasta & Cheese
The other day, my wife and I were jonesing for something cheesy for dinner, and so I took to looking for a healthy “mac and cheese” recipe to satisfy our taste for all things cheesy, while keeping it nutritious. I found a recipe for Broccoli Mac and Cheese in my Good Housekeeping 400 Calorie Meals cookbook, and gave it a whirl. Admittedly, I altered the recipe a bit to suit the types of cheese I had on hand (and to use a different pasta noodle other than macaroni). But after all was said, done, and baked, the end result was nothing short of delicious. If you’re in the mood for some homemade “mac and cheese”, give this recipe a shot — it’s sure to satisfy your craving for all things cheesy!
Cauliflower Pasta and Cheese al Forno
The other night I wanted to try a new recipe, and was jonesing for some cauliflower. My cousin shared a Cauliflower Mac n Cheese recipe from the My Fitness Pal blog. With a few minor modifications to the original recipe, I ended up with a delicious and healthy result that I highly suggest you make. If you love “mac and cheese”, I see no reason why you won’t love this even more!
Healthier Three-Cheese Shells and Cheese
For tonight’s dinner, I decided to do another new recipe for my 50 in 15 Challenge, and tackle a healthified version of “Mac and Cheese”. After scouring around for various recipes, I landed on a recipe for Three-Cheese Macaroni at the Food Network website. I made a couple slight modifications to the recipe, and the end result was a rich and creamy dish, perfect for a chilly winter evening.
Crispy Mashed Potato Cakes
Today I had just enough beef tenderloin on hand to make one more dinner with it. I also had some potatoes on hand, and decided to get creative and try a new way to prepare the potatoes as a side to the tenderloin. (This also gave me a good excuse to tackle my 3rd new recipe for my 50 in 15 Challenge.) I searched a handful of sites for different ways to make mashed potato “cakes”, most of which were same general recipe. So I pared them down to the most basic recipe and gave it a go.
