Bizzy the Explorer


I remember when I taught Explorers to my class.  This has always been an exciting unit because the material on the explorers found, was new to my class.  They became explorers along with Magellan, Da Gama, and Hudson with the open minds of youth.  They were entranced with Ponce de Leon and his Fountain of Youth.   We traveled over oceans, trekked through jungles, climbed mountains, hacking down trees, along the way. It was a magical time for the students as they explored new territory.

Bizzy is as much an explorer as Christopher Columbus.  Bizzy seeks new destinations and a more thorough trip through familiar lands.  Each week, Bizzy is filled with admiration for the bloggers and blogs, she comes across on her journeys.    Marco Polo discovered spices and silks.  Bizzy discovers recipes, methods, chefs and hints and wants to share them with you.

If you know a blog, a food site, a chef who deserves to be visited, please let me know and Bizzy will visit them and explore their particular brand of Foodieism. Spell Check is not going to like my last word.

I am going to start with a blog and recipe that beckons to me.  This is not a new blog, nor is it a blog that needs to be pointed out.  In fact, it is well established and beloved.  It is our own Mother Rimmy's Cooking Light Done Right.  Each time, I visit there, I find buried treasure.  I rarely leave without a new recipe.

"What Will You Find Here?  Your resource for hundreds of healthy meal ideas. Every recipe includes nutrition information and Weight Watchers points, so you can feel good about the food you eat. "

What is left out of Mother Rimmy's description is that her recipes are filled with flavor and often unique.  I would like to spotlight, one that I am waiting to make, using ripe avocados.


   

  

Avocado Soup -   Many of us love avocados but how many of us thought of making soup with those leftover mushy avocados?  What a fabulous idea, one of many, you will find at Mother Rimmy's.

    I love exploring new blogs too. I have some that I revisit but there are so many out there. I always read my daughter's and my daughter in laws....of course. My son and d in law live in Italy....so she blogs of their adventures there. My daughter blogs craft projects and decorating....and an occasional recipe.

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

Image
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 ...
