Veggie and Feta Bulgur Salad

Jan28

Decided to make a bulgur salad, as that’s the grain we have in the house. I was looking for something different, then the usual Tabbouleh it’s used in. I looked around the interwebs, and in the end saw one that caught my eye. I just took the idea, of the recipe, and made it my own though. I started with cooked course bulgur, added grape tomatoes, carrots, feta cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, black pepper and garlic pepper. I mixed it all together and voila 🙂 It turned out really yummy, so I’ll definitely make it again!!

Slow Cooker Mediterranean Stew

Jan17

I found this recipe last week, on AllRecipes.com, while searching for a vegetarian slow cooker dish. I think it’s more, Mediterranean inspired, because of the spice combination. It turned out pretty good and VERY spicy (which we like), but that’s due to the amount of red pepper flakes I put in it. If you follow the recipe to a ‘T’, I don’t believe it’ll be too spicy. We’re not huge okra fans, so I used red kidney beans instead. It definitely thickened up the stew, more so, then the original recipe probably gets. But we don’t mind it 🙂 Next time I think I’ll add chickpeas instead though, and possibly a bit more liquid. Oh!! I would definitely suggest, you either cut up the eggplant larger then suggested, or check on the stew to maybe lessen the cooking time? Because by the time we had gotten to it, after 10 hours on low, the eggplant had completely disintegrated into the stew!! To me…the photo of the stew I took, makes it look more like, the Jamaican Red Bean Stew I make (minus the coconut milk) LOL If you’re interested in making this recipe, I’ve included the recipe link below…

Egg Nog Cookies

Jan2

We made these for Christmas a few year’s back, and loved them then, but hadn’t made them since. I’ve been trying out new recipes since then, but decided to make these again today. They’re super easy, and taste just like egg nog!! The holidays are nothing without egg nog right?! So why not in a cookie!! If you like egg nog, then definitely give this cookie a try, I’m sure you’ll like it as much as we do 🙂 I can’t find the exact recipe I have, but this one is the closest I found online…

Peppermint Coconut Cocoa Balls

Jan1

We made these last Christmas, and we loved them!! Last year, we made them right around Christmas, but this year, we didn’t get to making them until this past Monday. The original recipe calls for rum, but we’re not a fan, so I tried peppermint and they’re so yummy!! This recipe is on our list of holiday recipes, and if you give it a try, it may just get onto yours too 🙂

Easy Pierogi Casserole

Dec9

I came across this recipe, on Facebook, when a friend had posted it. I thought we’d give it a try, because it sounded really good, and simple enough to make. I will say it was comforting, but I guess for us, it was lacking some flavour to it. It honestly tasted more like, the Potato Skins appie you’ve had at a restaurant/bar, so if you love those…I would think you’ll like this too. Not sure I’ll make it every again, but if you’re a potato fan, you may enjoy this recipe.

Kraft Chocolate Peanut Butter

Dec9

So, I’ve always loved Nutella…I mean…chocolate and hazelnut…enough said right? WRONG. Chocolate and peanut butter…of course!! Funny thing is I LOVE the choco-peanut combo, so I’m not sure why it took me so long, to actually get around to trying this PB. I’ll tell you…I won’t be going back to Nutella ever again, because Kraft’s Chocolate PB hits every craving spot. If you haven’t tried it yet, I would definitely recommend you do, you may not go back to Nutella either LOL

Spiked Oreo Strawberry Santas

Dec9

Wow…I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I last posted!! I hadn’t realized it had been that long LOL Time sure does fly doesn’t it?! Hope all my U.S. readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving, a couple of weeks back, and that you got to enjoy good food and good company 🙂 But now the holidays are in full swing, so to apologize for the lapse in posting, here’s some adorable Oreo Strawberry Santas!! Of course, they can be made without booze, for the little ones 🙂 But apparently, these are AMAZING with, and easy to whip up to boot. So, give them a try for an upcoming, Christmas party or potluck.
