Friday Favorite Finds

Finding Joy in My Kitchen has a Friday linky, titled Friday Favorite Finds where we get the opportunity to share some of those wonderful recipes, we see during the week. Maybe, they are recipes, we want to make or perhaps they are recipes that just strike us as being fantastic but not for us. Since we eat gluten-free, you can imagine how many recipes, I come across that I won't be making. To be honest, if one is gluten-free, one can still manage to make most dishes but that doesn't mean that I always want to do that.

These are the recipes, I look for, those that strike me and say, "this is you," or, "admire me."  Something about them touch a chord in my heart or perhaps, my tummy.

This week, I discovered and loved the following:
First, I want to share this amaretto pie. Isn't this a beauty. I found this on Deelicious sweets. Great, spell-check is giving me a hard time on delicious/deelicious.


I started with dessert so let's go to a soup from that's some good cooking, Lasagna Soup

I found matzah ball soup (kneidlach) at Tasty Trials. I love these balls of deliciousness. Of course, sitting in soup gives it the delicious flavor from the soup with all the veggies.

Honestly, I did not mean to pick another dessert. The devil made me do it. No, this photography really got to me so I am sharing it, with you.
Triple Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie....from Sweet Pea's Kitchen

I am looking forward to doing this again, next week. Please join me.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
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 ...
