I assembled this Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Salad before we left for the Thanksgiving break, in an attempt to use up what we had in the refrigerator.

Although the salad we ended up with and ate for dinner may not have followed the measurements in the recipe exactly, it was still a wonderful, tasty combination of ingredients.

ASPARAGUS AND SMOKED SALMON SALAD – FAYETTEVILLE PILATES AND BARRE

salmon and asparagus salad1 pound of fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces

1/2 cup pecan pieces

2 heads red leaf lettuce, rinsed and torn (I had arugula in the refrigerator, so thats what I used)

1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed

1/4 pound smoked salmon, cut into 1 inch chunks

1/4 cup olive oil (I added less)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

a couple of anchovies

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place asparagus in the pot, and cook for 5 minutes, just until tender. Drain and set aside.

Place the pecans in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted.

In a large bowl, toss together the asparagus, pecans, lettuce or arugula, peas and salmon.

In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper and anchovies. Toss with the salad or serve on the side.

Enjoy!

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GOLDEN RAISINS and GINGER HONEY CARROTS and STUFFED MINI BELL PEPPERS and SAUTEED PARSNIPS WITH DATES AND SPICED YOGURT and RED CABBAGE WITH ASIAN FLAVORS and BROCCOLINI WITH PEAS AND SEARED LEMONS

A recent conversation with a friend was focussed on meals for the kids when the adults are going out to eat.
I don’t want to cook a full dinner before I go out to dine –  I usually don’t have the time and chances are I will snack (extensively) on what I am making, so I have tended to choose the quick, easy and often more expensive option of picking up fast food.
However, my friend and I discussed some healthy, reasonable (time and money) options – putting a pre-seasoned pork loin in the crock pot, freezing extra portions from previous dinners to have on hand for busy nights, my husband just last week, picked up a fully cooked rotisserie chicken for the kids when I was out with a friend one night, and what I tend to do when I really don’t want to make a trip for fast food – prepare a vegetable side dish to accompany a quick and easy protein – pan fried chicken breast, or ham steak, the aforementioned pork loin, even a poached egg, deli turkey or grilled cheese sandwich.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GOLDEN RAISINS

1 head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons golden raisins
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Heat oven to 375F.
Spread the cauliflower on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and toss well. Roast for about 40 minutes, until tender, adding the raisins in the last 5 to 6 minutes of cooking.
Transfer cauliflower and raisins to a bowl, sprinkle with the cheese and the parsley before serving.
Enjoy!

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
freshly ground black pepper

In a small bowl, whisk 1 cup water with honey, rice vinegar and salt until well combined, set aside.
Add butter to medium saucepan and heat over medium high. Add carrots and saute for 5 minutes or until just slightly tender. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds more. Add honey mixture to saucepan and bring to a boil. Then cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes or until carrots are tender. Remove lid, increase heat to medium high, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost gone. Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!

SAUTEED PARSNIPS WITH DATES AND SPICED YOGURT

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds parsnips, peeled and sliced on the diagonal 1/2 inch thick
6 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 1/2 cups sliced pitted Medjool dates
5 rosemary sprigs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground sumac

Heat oven to 350F.
In a large skillet, heat 3/4 cup olive oil. Add half the parsnips to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until golden and barely tender, about 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the parsnips to a roasting pan. Repeat with the remaining parsnips, adding the garlic.
Scrape the parsnips and any oil into the roasting pan. Add the dates and rosemary sprigs, season with salt and pepper and roast for about 8 to 10 minutes, just until the parsnips are tender and the dates are slightly caramelized. Transfer the parsnips and dates to a platter.
In a bowl, whisk the yogurt with the lemon juice, sumac and the remaining 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt. Serve the roasted parsnips and dates, passing the spiced yogurt at the table.
Enjoy!

BEEF AND BACON CASSEROLE

I remember the first time I made this Beef and Bacon Casserole – a friend and I had young children and we decided to unite and cook a meal for our families. It seemed like a brilliant idea – we would get to socialize, our kids would have a play date, and it would all result in dinner.
However,  I’m not sure it was all that successful, we never did prepare a meal together again. We are both proficient, individual cooks, and I always find it challenging and laborious to cook in a kitchen that’s not my own.

BEEF AND BACON CASSEROLE

1 pound of ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
6 ounces of fresh mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces of pasta, cooked and drained
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8 ounces of frozen peas
1/4 cup milk
salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded, divided use

Heat oven to 325F.
In a large skillet, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain the fat. Add onions and mushrooms and cook until onions are wilted.
Add noodles, soup, peas and 1/4 cup of milk. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and cook on medium low 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often. Add bacon and 1 cup cheese, stir to combine.
Pour mixture into a casserole dish. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs with butter, add remaining 1 cup of cheese and blend gently. Sprinkle on top of mixture in casserole dish. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes more or until breadcrumbs are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Enjoy!

A friend recently had surgery, and I offered to bring her and her family dinner. She requested meatloaf, and I baked brownies to finish off the meal.

GLAZED MEATLOAF

750 grams of ground beef
1 1/2 cups of fresh breadcrumbs (I didn’t add these the second time I made this dish, and I liked it better without)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
GLAZE
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce

Heat oven to 375F.
Grease a loaf pan.
Combine all meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl, mix well.
Press herbed ground beef mixture evenly into prepared pan.
Bake for 50 minutes to an hour, or until firm.
Drain away any fat, stand meatloaf in pan for 10 minutes, turn onto an oven tray. Combine all glaze ingredients in a bowl, mix well. Brush glaze over meatloaf, bake for about 10 minutes, or until well browned.
Allow meatloaf to stand 5 minutes before slicing.
Enjoy!

chicken, dinner, lunch, parmesan, peas, tortellini

I always feel like I need to be organizing my cupboards, but especially before we expect company.  While cleaning out the pantry recently, in anticipation of Mum coming to stay, I found a package of mushroom tortellini – one of the random items my husband tends to pick up when he does the grocery shopping. The misfit packet of pasta became the basis of this fresh, tasty dinner, and my shelves were a little less cluttered.

CHICKEN AND TORTELLINI SALAD

1 package of tortellini
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cup frozen sweet peas, thawed
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Prepare tortellini according to package directions.
Process olive oil, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic and worcestershire sauce. Toss olive oil mixture with tortellini, chicken, peas, green onions and parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!
