Savory Cheese and Chive Bread - FFwD

I was excited to find out that in French Fridays with Dorie, we were making this savory bread, a cheese bread.  I love bread with "pieces" in it and this bread has its share.  While the cheese melts in, the roasted pepper, scallion (instead of chives) and nuts are distinctive.  Like, the soup, I made tonight, I enjoy the bite in soups and breads.  We like toppings with a crunch also.


When I cut the first piece for my husband, I had not idea, what to expect.  What I got was complete enthusiasm.  He old me that it was spicy.  Since, I even left out the white pepper, it must have been the Monterey Jack, I added to the Cheddar.  I know he eats that although, I am sure, he thinks that is as hot as can be.  You got it, he likes bland.  OK, this was not bland and he really enjoyed it.

While, waiting for it to bake, I read some of Dorie's stories and as usual, I enjoy sitting down with that book and getting carried away.  Dorrie really proven herself AGAIN.

    I added ham, and thought that color was beautiful, but roasted red peppers would have been very vibrant. We also loved the bread. Another keeper!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
