Red Pepper Veggies



It wasn't that long ago that I discovered sweet red pepper dip.  It was so good that I did not even try to recreate it.  I usually buy a container every two weeks and add it to a variety of dishes.  This particular dish was supposed to be spinach stuffed zucchini until I saw that two of the zucchini did not look good enough to use whole.

 We were going to my daughter's later in the day and I was bringing a side dish.  Fortunately, they are healthy eaters and vegetables were the way to go.  I made stuffed zucchini not that long ago and it was a great success so I decided to take that path. When I disapproved of the zucchini, I had to come up with a different recipes using both zucchini and spinach. This is what I ended up doing.

 Red Pepper Veggies

 Ingredients:

 1 pound spinach
2 zucchini, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup red pepper dip

 Method:

 Heat oil in large skillet.

 Add chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes.

 Add the yellow pepper and zucchini and cook for another 5 minutes.

 Add the red pepper dip and mix together.

Add the spinach and mix in well until heated.

Eat and  enjoy.

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 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 ...
