In the picturesque small town of Lititz is a café called the Tomato Pie Café. I have never been there but my daughter has been. Before that, I had never heard of a tomato pie. That dish intrigued me and I had to try to create one. Here is my version of a tomato pie that is light on fat.
Crepes, anyone? This French delicacy is so easy to make with sourdough starter. Best of all you can fill them with anything from puddings, yogurt, fruit or meats!
Lentils are a delicious way to get more legumes into your diet. This curry is a hearty, meat-less dish but still provides you with plenty of protein. The combination of sweet potatoes, chickpeas, lentils, and spices are just perfect!
Friday night pizza part…why, yes! Pizza made with Easy No-Carb Bread Mix from Trim Healthy Mama will satisfy your pizza cravings. Best of all, it can be assembled in 15 minutes.
Fall brings with it a harvest of winter squash and pumpkins. One of our favorite winter squash is the humble butternut squash. We love these roasted and eaten with butter and salt like a potato and if you have any leftover they can be made into this delicious bisque. This bisque is the perfect bend of sweet and spice for cool fall weather.
Have you ever wanted breakfast eggs with a different twist? Try Shaksuka eggs. They are an absolutely delicious Israeli style egg dish with cumin and smoked paprika. I love it for something different.
Low Country Boil is a quick and easy one-dish to prepare. This simple dish can also called Frogmore Stew. What could be better than potatoes, corn, and onions from your garden added to this boil. Have your children husk the corn, scrub the potatoes, and dinner will be served in a jiffy. Better yet, lay newspaper on a picnic table, boil the stew outside over a campfire, drain, pour the boil down the center of the table, and you have an easy cleanup!
Summer is winding to a close but my zucchini plants are still thriving and producing well. I am trying to hang on to summer and the bountiful garden harvest. This Zucchini Lasagna is delicious using tomato sauce I preserved and zucchini from my garden.
Mid-summer brings with it luscious ears of sweet corn picked from gardens. Our favorite kinds of sweet corn are bi-colored or yellow since they are sweeter in taste. Sausage Corn Pie is a Pennsylvania Dutch treat I make a few times a year when the sweet corn is ready. It is a hearty one-dish meal that my family thoroughly enjoys. I use a sourdough pie crust for the double crust which has become our favorite.
From a little child and up, I always loved Ramen Noodles. This Homemade Ramen Noodle Bowl has become a favorite of mine. It is chock full of lean protein, veggies, and low-carb noodles. What is not to like about that!!
