Free Form Ratatouille Tart - Donna Hay


This week, Margaret. chose a free-form ratatouille tart for the Donna Hay group to make.  I  was excited about this choice.  I stay away from making gluten-free pie shells because I am not comfortable with the dough.  This is one area, I have not had real success.

 I didn't make my own dough  but used  one from Katz's Kosher Gluten Free Baked Goods.  These are kept frozen and after 24 hours defrosting in the refrigerator, it was still frozen.  Leaving it out for an hour did the trick and I had pliable dough.

 When rolling it, pieces on the outside broke off but I was able to reattach them.  It was great to have the ready made dough and made the recipe easy to make.

 It was a delight to fill this with onions, eggplant, tomato, red peppers,and zucchini.  They were delicious with little seasoning.  The whole thing with the already roasted vegetables were baked and I think it was a winner.

 I am sorry, I did not add the mushrooms, sitting on the counter but I wanted to be faithful to the recipe.  Next time, I  would like to try other vegetables, as well.

    The great thing about this little tart was that the vegetable choice was excellent, but you can also change it around a bit. All so simple to do. Looks great. Interesting to hear about your crust choice...another way you can adapt so many of her recipes to fit your needs.

    Looks terrific Chaya. I accidentally left out the fetta but it was still good.

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.

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

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
