0 Comments

 
My non-traditional version is faster and has less fat.
 
Frozen hash browns
Olive oil
Blue corn taco shells
Shredded cheese (I used a mix of TJ’s Swiss/gruyere and cheddar)
Romaine, chopped
Cilantro, chopped
Tomato, chopped
Salsa verde
Pickled jalapeno
 
Place hash browns on a baking sheet. Drizzle on some olive oil. Bake in the oven. They don’t have to be super crisp, just cooked through. Take them out and fill blue corn taco shells with potato. Add shredded cheese. Pop them back in the oven and cook until taco shells are crisp, and filling is hot. Serve with chopped romaine, chopped cilantro, chopped tomato, sala verde and pickled jalapeno. I loved them! So did G.

Moroccan Spices Inspired Sandwich

0 Comments

 
Bag of shredded carrots
Lemon juice
Cumin
Paprika
Cinnamon
Chili flakes
Olive oil
Capers, rinsed
Parsley, chopped
Bread of choice (sourdough is good), sliced
Goat cheese, small roll of plain and small roll of herbed
Tomato, sliced

Leave goat cheese out for 30 minutes or so to soften. Place carrots in a bowl, add lemon and spices to taste (I ordered then ingredient list from most to least amounts). Add some olive oil and stir. It's good to let it sit out for at least 30 minutes.

Place the goat cheese rolls in a bowl and smash them together with a fork. You can add some Greek yogurt if it's a bit too stiff to spread.

Assemble sandwich: Spread goat cheese on one side of bread. Sprinkle some capers and parsley on. Add a good amount of the spiced carrots. Add a slice or two of tomato. Top with other side of bread and you are ready to go!

Spring Time Quesadillas

4/23/2023

0 Comments

 
Baby spinach (I used a box of Olivia's)
Tortillas (used 24)
Ricotta cheese, part skim
Shredded parmesan
Lemon zest from one lemon
Lemon juice
Hot pepper flakes
Black pepper

Quick steam the spinach in the microwave. Add spinach to a bowl, sprinkle on a little bit of water and cover bowl with cling wrap. It only takes 30 seconds or so. Let cool. To the bowl with the spinach add ricotta, about 2 cups worth. Add about a 1/4 cup shredded parmesan. Add the lemon zest, juice, hot pepper flakes and pepper. Mix together and taste. I ended up adding some more lemon juice.

Lay out 12 tortillas. Spread the mixture on the tortillas. Top with the other 12 tortillas. Bake (350 degrees) or grill. Be sure to turn them over a few times as they cook. When done, take them out of the oven (or off the grill), cool for a bit and then cut each into 4 triangles. I made enough there were leftovers for lunch.

    Hi, I'm Kathleen

    I started dabbling in cooking as a teenager. I've learned a lot over the years. Just ask my family about the "cheese ball" aka supposed to be fondue incident. At this point, cooking is relaxing to me. I also enjoy coming up with mashup recipes.
