You gotta try it!

I enjoyed my dinner too much not too share!
Cut a whole wheat pita in half and layer with southwestern-style chicken, scallions, and part-skim mozzarella!
Stick it in the toaster oven until the cheese melts and top with fresh salsa... stick the other half of the pita on top and dig in!

The Tortilla Pizza Face-Off Part I

Image
I'm totally on a Mexican Food Kick these past couple months... Mexican Noodles, Mexican Pizza, Mexican Dip... but hey, I will always take advantage of an opportunity to use taco seasoning and tons of fresh vegetables! So when my work today brought me to the CDC recipe database -  http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnparecipe/recipesearch.aspx  - I obviously chose the tortilla pizza to go in the cookbooks we are sending home with students next week after they visit the University Farmer's Market.  And isn't it only fair that I try out some of these recipes first?   And just to make this a little more interesting, I'm going to have a little nutrition face-off with a fellow blogger's Tortilla Pizza recipe - someone who "watches her weight" and tells us how her recipe is full of protein, fiber, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin C. We will see about that!  Skip below for recipes - I'm warning you, I might ramble a bit! Honey What's Cooking Mexican

Recipe Re-do: Morning Glory Muffins

 I have a busy week ahead with early start times and lots of demands at work. I have been stressing for days about what breakfast food I can grab and run out the door to make my 7 am start time. Today, I decided to re-make these delicious morning glory muffins, with a few adaptations. I love that these recipes has so many fruits and vegetables, but how many servings does each one have really? Let me break it down... 1 apple - 1 serving 1/2 cup applesauce - .5 serving 3/4 cup raisins - 3.8 servings 6 carrots - 12 servings 8 oz pineapple - 1.4 servings / 18.7 servings per recipe, .6 servings per muffin So, if I have two muffins for breakfast, I'm getting > 1 servings of my fruits and vegetables for the day. It's not great, not terrible. As I said before, I do want to figure out how to add more protein to this - maybe next time I can add some flax seeds or something. Ingredients 1/2 cup spelt flour 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour ½ cups sprouted wheat flour ¾ cup almond flour 1

End of Season CSA haul

Image
 I had every intention of doing monthly CSA check in's this year, but ultimately it got away from me... again! However, I do have time today to talk about our end of season haul, and how I stretch our farm goodies for as long as possible. First, I took 6 white onions and 5 red onions and hung them in a dark closet tied up in an old pair of panty hose. I throw in a knot between each onion to keep them separate and dry.  Then, I did the pickling. I have been saving tomato sauce and salsa jars for pickles all year. I thinly sliced watermelon radishes, daikon radishes, carrots, and hot peppers that have accumulated over the past 2-3 weeks. I also made a mix of matchstick carrots and daikon to sprinkle on sandwiches. I sprinkled in mustard seeds, black peppercorns, garlic cloves and crushed red peppers, and then covered them in boiling hot water & vinegar, mixed with salt. I used a 1/2 gallon of vinegar, and I made 3-4 tall jars and at least 3 small jars. This was also a great way t
