Swiss Chard & Kasha Muffins - You can believe it!


I had some Swiss Chard left from my Power Food veggie of the week and I was puzzled what to do with it. I also had leftover kasha .  What does a foodie do?  Combine these, throw in some other ingredients and make MUFFINS.  I didn't know what was going to come from this and was happy when I had these delightful looking muffins that tasted even better than they looked.

 I took notes, as I went along and I am hoping, I have this correct.  It is something, I want to make again.

Swiss Chard and Kasha Muffins

 Ingredients:

 2 cups cooked  kasha
4 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 - 6 Swiss chard stems, chopped
2 tablespoons Tamari
1 cup crumbs from chips (potato or taco or tortilla)  You can use bread crumbs.
1/2 cup store-bought spinach dip (or make your own)
6 eggs

Method:

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

 Grease 12 muffin tins.

 Heat olive oil in medium skillet.

 Fry scallions and Swiss chard stems for 5 minutes.

 While these are cooking, in a mixing bowl, combine kasha, Tamari, crumbs, spinach dip and eggs.  Mix well.

 Add cooked scallions and Swiss chard to mixture and combine.

 Pour the batter into the muffin tins.

 Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.  I did make sure a knife came out dry but I had to guess at the time.  They were slightly browned on top.

 They came right out of the tins.  I served these as a side dish and they make a delicious snack.

 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 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
