Green Beans with Caramelized Shallots

by Pam on December 11, 2013

Sometimes simple recipes are the best. I have made all sorts of fancy recipes using green beans but I have to say, this might be my favorite. I caramelized shallots until tender and golden brown then did a quick boil of the green beans combining the two. I simply seasoned these green beans with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper and that’s it. Simple. Easy. Fast. Delicious. I love recipes like that!

Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium low heat. Add the sliced shallots and cook, stirring often, for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Side Note: If the shallots start getting dry add a little water or more olive oil to the pan to keep them moist and to stop them from burning.

Add the green beans to a pot of boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Immediately plunge the green beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and to preserve the bright green color; remove from water and set on paper towels to dry. Once the shallots are done add the green beans to the sauté pan and mix with the shallots. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, then toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Veggie Mini Frittata with Asparagus, Tomatoes, Spinach, and Extra Sharp Cheddar

by Pam on December 5, 2013

I wanted something light and simple for lunch today so I decided to make a veggie mini frittata. I grabbed some eggs, asparagus, spinach, and extra sharp cheddar from the refrigerator and found some grape tomatoes on the counter. This frittata was light, fluffy, and so delicious. Mini frittatas are one of my favorite meals because they are simple, healthy, and a terrific way to use up extra ingredients you have on hand.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a mini baking dish with cooking spray.

Mix the eggs with the milk until well combined. Place a few pieces of asparagus, spinach, tomato slices, and extra sharp cheddar into the mini baking dish then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish then place the remaining asparagus, spinach, tomato slices, and extra sharp cheddar. Re-season the top with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, if desired.

Place into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.

Roasted Pepper, Spinach, and Sharp Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breast

by Pam on June 17, 2013

I craving chicken for dinner and was inspired by a recipe I found on Skinnytaste.com^[1] that looked great. I adapted the recipe to use what I had on hand. I found some roasted red bell pepper, fresh baby spinach, and sharp cheddar in the fridge. I grabbed some Italian panko from the refrigerator along with some olive oil and a lemon. The chicken was easy to make, smelled great while it baked, and was a big hit with all my husband and I and our kids thought it was tasty except for the roasted bell pepper.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray. (Side Note: I used the convection bake setting on my oven but regular will work however you may need to broil the chicken for a few seconds at the end of baking to get a golden color on your breading – watch carefully).

Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise. Place all four pieces of chicken on a cutting board then cover with wax paper. Pound the chicken with a meat mallet until 1/4 inch thick. Season the pieces of chicken with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste. Place some shredded cheese down the center followed by roasted bell pepper, and two spinach leaves on each piece. Carefully roll each piece of chicken as tightly as possible and place seam side down.

Place the breadcrumbs on a plate. Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste in a small bowl; mix until well combined.

Dip the chicken in the lemon oil mixture followed by the breadcrumbs to coat evenly then place in the baking dish seam side down. Coat each chicken roll with cooking spray.

Place into the oven and bake 25-30 minutes. Let the meat rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy.
