Fillers are so versatile. Made up in minutes, they can be kept in the fridge and used to make so many quick and tasty meals. Not just great for sandwiches, wraps and salads try them on top of a hot jacket potato or stirred through some pasta for a speedy pasta salad, perfect for packed lunches. Time and money saving tip: look out for canned tuna that comes in oil rather than brine as it provides a great dressing for your filler

As it is, this filler is very healthy, but for a little treat, add a dollop of mayonnaise instead of the balsamic vinegar

Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Honey and Balsamic Vinegar

Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Honey and Balsamic Vinegar

by Pam on October 16, 2012

Can you believe that I have never had a parsnip before?  I found a nice recipe on Epicurious[1]  that I adapted and decided to finally try them last night and thought they were tasty.  I roasted them with carrots then drizzled a little butter, honey, and balsamic vinegar sauce on top right before serving.  My daughter liked the carrots but didn’t like the parsnips and my son didn’t like either… he likes raw carrots but not cooked and he didn’t like the flavor of the parsnips.  My husband and I both thought it was a nice side dish that went well with the Garlic Roasted Chicken[2] and the Smashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Chives[3] (we loved these potatoes so much last week that I made them again and they were perfect with this chicken!).

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

Peel and slice the carrots and parsnips into spears.  Place them into the baking dish and drizzle the olive oil over them and season with season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.  Place them into the oven and roast them for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender.

Place the butter, honey, and balsamic vinegar into a small sauce pan and cook over low heat until melted and well combined.  Drizzle the sauce over the roasted parsnips and carrots then toss to coat evenly.  Serve immediately.  Enjoy.

Italian Meatloaf

Italian Meatloaf

by Pam on October 8, 2012

I was craving meatloaf so I decided to try a new recipe from Michael Chiarello[1] instead of my usual meatloaf[2] recipe.  I found this recipe for an Italian meatloaf that looked and sounded terrific.  It was very easy to put together, it smelled amazing while it baked, and it turned out really moist and tender.  We all liked the meatloaf and it paired well with potatoes & greens I served with it (recipes to post soon).

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Coat a loaf man with cooking spray.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Add the onions, peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet.  Cook, stirring often, until tender; about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.  Remove from the heat and let them cool.

Combine the ground beef with the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, basil, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and balsamic vinegar along with the onion mixture.  Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; combine gently with your fingers until evenly mixed – be sure not to over mix.  Pack the mixture into the loaf pan.  Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top of the loaf.

Place into the oven and bake for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 160 degrees.  Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
