This recipe is inspired by a low-carb Keto meal plan. Fall is the main harvest season for the cabbages which means they are fresh and sold fairly inexpensive in the grocery stores. All good reasons to cook with cabbage.

I made this beautiful sauce the other day. I used it to make lasagna. It was great because I made the dish last night (boiled the noodles and assembled the dish) the covered it and put it in the refrigerator for dinner the next night. Tuesdays are one of our most crazy days though Wednesday is gaining ground on it but I had dinner ready to put in the oven. Add a salad, a baguette and dinner was ready!

 

Verdict:

I was surprised at how much I loved the lasagna. I am not a huge vegetable eater but this had so much flavor that I didn’t even notice all the vegetables individually.

If you have non-vegetable eaters you can puree this sauce into a smooth tomato sauce. But, it was delicious with the chunks of vegetables and spices. The sauce recipe can be found here (click for link to…

This is one of our go to dishes on busy nights or for an easy side dish. It is super simple to make and the entire family loves it. You can make it with as much garlic as your family likes and as much cheese too! My family goes for more garlic and more cheese every time! A bit of freshly ground black pepper over the top of the noodles takes these to a delicious height.

Verdict:

This is a favorite of ours. We usually have this about 2-3 times a month either for dinner with a green veggie or as a side with pork chops or chicken.

I recommended these egg noodles with the Roasted Turkey Soup and I do again. They are heartier than the commercial egg noodles and take your dish to the next level. Check your specialty pasta section for somethings similar to raise your dishes…

It is coming to that time of year when colds and flu are going to be everywhere. I love having a big batch of soup on hand in the freezer to pull out on those days when my family is starting to feel a little yucky. This soup freezes well, tastes and smells amazing when they may not want to eat something too heavy.

Verdict:

I always pick up extra turkeys around Thanksgiving when they are super cheap to cook during the year.  This soup was from a 23 lb. turkey. We roasted the turkey on a Sunday afternoon for dinner then picked the carcass clean to roast the bones for soup. I usually don’t roast the bones but it definitely adds to the depth of flavor of the soup.

I used packaged egg noodles but you can easily make your own. I found a great Amish style egg noodle…

This is a very good, dessert-like chocolate cake. It is very easy to make and doesn’t involve any creaming of butter etc.  I had some frozen apricot halves in the freezer from the tree on our allotment, which I placed cut side down on the bottom of the tin. The strength of their flavour and acidity stood up well to the chocolate and were delicious, but it would also be great without them.

Ingredients:

50g cocoa powder

1/2 cup of boiling water

125g plain flour

50g ground almonds

a rounded 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder

3 eggs

300g sugar

100g butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

60g dark chocolate 60-70%, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons of toasted flaked almonds

(optional : frozen apricots, or dried ones soaked in boiling water to plump up)

How to make:

Pre-heat oven to 180C. Grease a round deep cake tin of 9-10 inches, ideally with a…

Here it is one of those warming recipes that are simply perfect to prepare during those cold evenings 🙂

It’s very simple and it was a recipe of the rural society, through all southern Italy there are several variants, especially in Calabria, in Cilento and in Lucania, but fundamentally they are all very similar. The main difference maybe is the fact that someone prefer it more soupy while others prefer it with less liquid. But they are all great 🙂

Of course, to make this simple dish really great you have to work a little bit and prepare the “lagane” fresh at home.

INGREDIENTS (3-4 people):

For the lagane:

• 250 g durum semolina
• 130 ml water

For the sauce:

• 200-250 dried chickpeas
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 5-6 cherry tomatoes (or some tomato paste)
• 1 fresh bay leaf
• fresh rosemary
• extra virgin olive oil
• freshly ground black pepper
• salt

I think I already wrote in other posts how much I love the skirt steak, with its very beefy flavor and also good prices 🙂

Normally I prefer to keep my steaks simple, but this time I decided to make a roll with it, since its shape helps for this kind of preparation, and I filled it with grilled peppers and a delicious Ragusano DOP cheese…and the result was delicious!

Let’s see how to make it.

INGREDIENTS (2 people):

• 1 skirt steak of 500-600 g
• 2 bell peppers
• Ragusano DOP cheese (or some other caciocavallo types), about 100 g, I didn’t measure it
• fresh parsley
• 1 clove of garlic
• extra virgin olive oil

1. First of all you have to previously grill the bell peppers (I did it on a grill pan), then cut into slices.  Prepare also a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, chopped parsley and minced garlic.
2. Take…

Today’s Menu; Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries

For Breakfast this morning I prepared some Simply Potatoes Hash Browns along with 2 Johnsonville Fresh Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links. Also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Sort of cool out this morning, 40 degrees. Had a high of 80 degrees and partly cloudy. Did some yard work today. Raked leaves again. Took a ride on the cart. For Dinner tonight one of my favorite Sandwiches. I prepared a Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries.

I picked up a loaf the Goldminer California Sourdough Bread while at Meijer yesterday for my Grilled Ham and Swiss. I love this Bread especially grilled! But don’t have too often because of the calories and carbs. To prepare the Sandwich I’ll need; Boar’s Head Sweet Slice Ham, Sargento Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese, French’s…
