ROASTED GARLIC SPINACH WHITE PIZZA

by Rebecca June 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

Total time: 1-hr | Servings: 2 pizzas, 16 slices

It was love at first bite! I was hesitant to try this roasted garlic spinach, white pizza at first because of my picky eaters. Little do I know that this pizza would be the next big thing! If you want a fun, delicious twist on your pizza, this is a must! I guarantee you that even your fussiest eaters will love every bite!

INGREDIENTS

4 teaspoons olive oil

4-5 heads of garlic

2 whole-wheat pizza dough

16-22 ounces ricotta cheese

32 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese

Pepper flakes, optional

20 ounces Cascadian Farm frozen spinach, thawed and liquid squeezed

HOW TO MAKE ROASTED GARLIC SPINACH WHITE PIZZA

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F. Peel away all the loose layers around the head of the garlic using your fingers. From the top of the head, cut off around 1/4-inch to expose the cloves.

Step 2: Over the exposed surface of each garlic head, drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil. In aluminium foil, wrap the garlic and roast for about 30 to 40 minutes until the center of the clove is entirely soft.

Step 3: Allow the garlic to cool a little before pushing the entire clove out of its paper. In a bowl, place the garlic and mash using the back of a fork. Add the ricotta cheese and mix well. Set aside.

Step 4: Sprinkle some whole wheat flour on a flat surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the pizza dough. Onto a pizza stone, place the pizza dough, ensuring the edges are reached. For this, you can also use a cookie sheet or a pizza baking sheet. Do the same with the second pizza dough.

Step 5: Over each pizza dough, spread half of the ricotta cheese and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and spinach. Place in the oven and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes at 425 degrees.

Step 6: Remove from the oven when done and sprinkle with pepper flakes (optional). Serve right away. Enjoy!

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

by Rebecca June 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

This is a dreamy cake perfect for every occasion! A decadent dessert with layers of cheesecake covered in caramel sauce and topped with more chocolate chips and sea salt.

Ingredients

Sauce:

1/2 c. heavy cream

1 c. granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons salted butter, cut into 6 pieces

Cake:

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 c. Oreo cookies, finely crushed

3 (8 ounces) packages of cream cheese, softened

3 large eggs, room temp

1 (14 ounces) can sweetened, condensed milk

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

sea salt (optional for topping)

1 c. mini chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

How to make Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Step 1: In a small saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat. To stir, use a heat-resistant spatula. Stir the sugar constantly until completely melted. Then, add the butter while stirring for about 2 to 3 minutes until fully melted. While stirring, gradually drizzle the cream. Let the sauce boil for just a minute, then take the pan off the heat. Quickly stir in the salt. Allow the sauce to cool before serving. For ease of use, store the sauce in a glass jar and place it in the fridge.

Step 2: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 300 degrees. Ready a 9-inch springform pan. Generously grease and set aside.

Step 3: Whisk the Oreos and butter in a mixing bowl. Into the prepared pan, evenly press the mixture.

Step 4: In a stand mixer or mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese for about 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy. Add the condensed milk and mix. Then, add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well every after each addition until blended. Next, stir in the vanilla. To the bowl, add the chocolate chips and gently fold using a spatula. Into the pan, pour the filling, and top with a handful of mini chocolate chips.

Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 15 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and slightly jiggles in the center. Around the edge of the cheesecake, run a thin knife. Place the pan on the cooling rack to let the cheesecake cool before placing it in the fridge to chill.

Step 6: In the microwave, heat the caramel sauce for 10 to 15 seconds. Then, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. On top of the cheesecake, pour enough caramel sauce to cover it. Sprinkle with extra chocolate chips and sea salt (optional). Slice and serve. Enjoy!

by Rebecca June 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

Yield: 4 – 6 servings

This slow cooker Pot Roast is another amazing dish with flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth chuck roast with veggies in a delightful gravy-like sauce. You can also any leftovers in a hot beef sandwich for a grab-and-go lunch.

Ingredients

olive oil

1 chuck roast (I used 3 lbs)

1 lb. carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks

1 onion, peeled and cut into large chunks

1 c. beef broth

2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks

1 tbsp corn starch

2 stalks of celery, cut into large chunks (optional)

SEASONING MIX:

1 tbsp dried rosemary

2 tbsp steak seasoning (I used store-bought with a blend of peppercorns, garlic, paprika, parsley, and salt)

1 tbsp dried thyme

1 tbsp kosher salt

How to make Slow Cooker “Melt in Your Mouth” Pot Roast

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk the seasoning mix ingredients and set aside.

Step 2: Sprinkle both sides of the meat with olive oil and coat well. On each side of the meat, sprinkle a third of the seasoning mix.

Step 3: In a large skillet, sear both sides of the meat over medium-high heat. To a slow cooker, transfer the roasted meat.

Step 4: In a large bowl, place the vegetables. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and coat the vegetables. Then, sprinkle the rest of the seasoning mix. To the same skillet where you used to sear the meat, add the vegetables. Saute for approximately 5 minutes, stirring often.

Step 5: On top of the roast in the slow cooker, transfer the vegetables. Then, add the beef broth. Put the lid on. Set to cook for 9 hours on low or 6 hours on high.

Step 6: Recover most of the cooking juices from the slow cooker using a turkey baster. To a small saucepan, transfer the juices. Bring everything to a simmer on medium heat. In the meantime, stir the cornstarch with a bit of water. Add this into the pan juices while stirring. Let it simmer until thickened. As needed, adjust the seasoning.

Step 7: To a larger platter, transfer the roast and vegetables. Serve the Pot Roast right away. Enjoy!

Mexican Fried Rice

by Rebecca June 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Total time: 20 mins | Servings: 6

Whip up a unique Mexican Fried Rice with this simple recipe. Perfect for Taco Tuesday and or any day of the year! If you are looking for a fun, delicious twist on your traditional Mexican Rice, then you have to give this recipe a try soon! Like my other favorite fried rice, this too is insanely easy and quick to throw together. And the secret to making the best-fried rice is using cooked, cold rice. To prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan, make sure to stir the rice almost constantly. For a few crunchy bits of rice, allow the rice to sit a while longer without stirring once all the spices and seasonings are well blended into the rice.

Ingredients

4 tbsp olive oil, divided

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 c. cooked white rice

1 small onion, finely diced

1 c. frozen corn, thawed

½ c. chopped tomatoes

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

1 4-oz. can of green chiles, drained

2 green onions, sliced

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

How to make Mexican Fried Rice

Step 1: To a large skillet, drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion to the skillet once the oil is hot and saute for about 3 to 4 minutes or until tender.

Step 2: Then, add the tomatoes to the skillet along with the corn and green chiles. Continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the liquid is cooked out.

Step 3: Next, add the seasoning and garlic. Cook further or until the garlic starts to brown. This takes an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 4: Adjust the heat to medium before adding the rest of the oil and cooked rice to the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes more, stirring often, until the rice and seasoning have blended.

Step 5: Add the green onions and stir well. Take the pan off the heat. Serve the Mexican Fried Rice garnished with the rest of the green onions. Enjoy!

This trout recipe is incredibly easy to whip up. A delicious, healthy, and gluten-free dish with flaky fish in a delightful garlic lemon butter herb sauce that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and lean protein. Enjoy a low-carb dinner with this trout recipe any time.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil more, if needed

1.5 lbs trout or salmon, or arctic char – 2 large fish fillets with skin on the bottom

3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed

1 tbsp Italian seasoning (dried thyme, oregano, parsley, combined)

4 garlic cloves, diced

2 tbsp white wine

2 tbsp parsley, chopped

2 tbsp butter, softened

¼ tsp salt to taste

How to make Trout with Garlic Lemon Butter Herb Sauce

Step 1: Sprinkle the Italian herb seasoning and salt on top of the fish fillets. There is no need to season the skins on the bottom.

Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets to the skillet, flesh-side down. Sear for approximately 3 to 5 minutes until lightly browned, ensuring the oil does not smoke. Flip the fillets and continue to cook the other side for an additional 2 to 4 minutes. If needed, add more oil to the skillet.

Step 5: To the same pan, add the diced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine. Cook for about 1 minute over medium-low heat until the garlic has slightly softened. Then, take the pan off the heat and add 1 tbsp chopped parsley and 2 tbsp butter. While the heat is off, stir until the butter has melted and you have a creamy mixture.

Step 6: Return the fish to the pan and spoon the sauce on top. Garnish with 1 tbsp parsley. Enjoy!

I love the flavor and texture of this potato cake with onions. It is perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. These buttery potato slices are excellently baked. Do not forget the sweet addition of the onion is irresistible! I have been making this recipe for years and shared this with one of my friends. It is a customizable recipe. If desired, you can some mushrooms and feta to this already amazing dish. For best results, I suggest using Yukon potatoes. You can also swap the dried Italian herbs with fresh thyme, rosemary, and oregano. I do not recommend skipping the herbs, but you can if desired.

Parmigiana di Melanazane

by Rebecca June 3, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 1 hr | Cook Time: 55 mins | Total Time: 1 hr 55 mins | Servings: 6 people

This Parmigiana di Melanazane is always the star of the show. It’s very delightful and never fails to impress everyone. Fried aubergines/eggplant baked with tomato sauce, basil, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. It’s comfort food at its finest!

Ingredients

½ tbsp olive oil

1 white onion

1.5 pounds of pureed tomatoes (passata) with chunky texture (700 grams)

2 large aubergines/eggplant around (700 grams/ 1.5 pounds)

Small bunch of basil

¾ c. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (70 grams)

8.8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes (250 grams)

sunflower oil for frying (around ½ c./125ml)

salt and pepper to season

flour for dusting

How to make Parmigiana di Melanazane

Step 1: Place the thinly sliced eggplant/aubergines in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Keep them aside for about an hour.

Step 2: For the tomato sauce, start by finely chopping 1 onion. In a pan with olive oil, saute the onion until translucent and tender but not browned. Next, add the pureed tomatoes (tomato passata), basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and gently simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3: Under cold water, rinse the slices of eggplant. Using kitchen towels, pat the eggplant slices dry. Then, dust them with flour. Shake any excess off and fry in sunflower oil for a couple of seconds on each side. To remove any excess oil, transfer the eggplant slices to kitchen paper.

Step 4: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F or gas mark 4. For this recipe, I used an 11 x 18-inch oval dish. Although, you can use a rectangle or square dish around the same size.

Step 5: Into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spoon and spread a small amount of tomato sauce. On top, layer the eggplant and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cubes, and season with pepper. Over the layers, add a few spoons of tomato sauce (reserve about 1/3 of the sauce for the final layer). Repeat until there is one top layer left. Finally, spoon the rest of the tomato sauce and top with Parmesan and mozzarella. Loosely tent with foil and place in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake for 20 minutes more or until golden, and the top is bubbling.

Step 6: Remove from the oven when done and allow the Parmigiana di Melanazane to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
