Top 7 Delish Zucchini Recipes

July 28, 2020 By Emily Gammon Leave a Comment

Zucchini Recipes – they’ll change your life!  Promise!  Zucchini is one of the most versatile vegetables that you will enjoy. This is great news for everyone who grows zucchini because these plants often produce exceptional amounts of vegetables each year.  (See our post about how to preserve garden vegetables if you just have too much zucchini.) Before you freeze it, consider using it!

Some people may feel that zucchini is a little bland.  Therefore, they are not really interested in using it while cooking. The truth is, the mild flavor of zucchini makes it an exceptional ingredient for almost any dish because you can season it to taste. [Read more…]

Vegetable and Beef Chili

April 5, 2020 By Christina Leave a Comment

This vegetable and beef chili recipe came from the Beyond Diet 7 Day Rescue plan and is one of my favorites. I can have this ready in 15 minutes and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. And of course, I make a lot every time and fill the freezer and have a quick go-to lunch idea. For lunch, I add some rice in. For dinner, I just eat it plain or use it as my pizza sauce on homemade pizzas. As a snack, I put it on top of tortilla chips with some cheese. Can I just say these are amazing nachos without a lot of the added effort and one of our faves!Vegetable and beef chili [Read more…]

Zesty Vegetable and Beef Meatloaf Recipe

March 28, 2020 By Christina Leave a Comment

This zesty beef meatloaf recipe is one of my favorites. The best part about it is that touch of spicy that most meatloaf recipes don’t have. AND the added nutrients from the vegetables is a bonus. When we make this meatloaf we make a bunch of them and throw them in the freezer for a quick and easy meal. During these times, being able to plan ahead matters. If you haven’t caught our post Stretching Supplies During the Coronavirus, it might be of interest to you. Keeping to yourself is pretty important these days and if you can limit how often you venture into public you’ll limit your risk to exposure.beef meatloaf recipe slices [Read more…]

Crockpot Breakfast Ideas: Heaven in the Slow Cooker

March 25, 2020 By Emily Gammon Leave a Comment

Crockpot breakfast is a woman’s way to sanity!  Getting up and moving in the morning can be tough for people. Heck!  It’s hard for most people.  We’re certainly not a family of joyful early risers. And pre-coffee trying to make a healthy breakfast seems way too difficult. But reaching for a stale pastry or stopping for something that pretends to be healthy from a fast food joint aren’t great options either. That’s why we love a good crockpot breakfast.Crockpot Monkey Bread recipe [Read more…]

Zucchini Turkey Burgers

March 22, 2020 By Christina Leave a Comment

Hands down my favorite “healthy burger” recipe is this Zucchini Turkey Burger recipe I got from Beyond Diet. The first time I tried them I was a skeptic. Afterall, they have zucchini in them and they are made from turkey not beef. But I feel in love. My whole family did. We like them so much that we don’t make just a couple at a time. We make 5 pounds and freeze them.Zucchini Turkey Burgers cooking [Read more…]

Healthy Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

August 30, 2019 By Christina Gammon Leave a Comment

I found this recipe on Pinterest.  It’s wonderful.  It’s easy.  Therefore, I couldn’t wait to try it! Pinch of Yum has this amazing vegetable alfredo sauce that MAKES this meal.  Additionally, it makes it HEALTHY. Yes. Healthy. The secret? Cauliflower! Cauliflower alfredo sauce is creamy and delicious. The best part is you don’t know you’re missing the calories!Vegetarian Lasagna made with cauliflower

Vegetable Lasagna Ingredients:

For the cauliflower alfredo sauce
5 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoons butter
5 cups cauliflower florets
6-7 cups vegetable broth or water
1 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
½ teaspoon pepper (more to taste)
½ cup milk (more to taste)
Parmesan cheese to taste

For the lasagna
10 lasagna noodles
4 cups cauliflower Alfredo sauce
5 cups veggies (I used chopped fresh greens, grated carrots, fresh and canned tomatoes)
3 cups mixed shredded cheese like Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, etc.
salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable Lasagna Instructions:

For the cauliflower sauce:
Saute the garlic with butter in a large nonstick skillet over low heat until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
Bring the cauliflower in the water or broth for 7-10 minutes or until cauliflower is fork tender.
Do not drain.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower pieces to a blender or food processor.
Add 1 cup vegetable broth or cooking liquid, sauteed garlic/butter, salt, pepper, and milk.
Blend or puree for several minutes or until very smooth.

For the lasagna:
Preheat oven to 375°.
Boil the lasagna noodles for a few minutes until they are just starting to soften but still stiff and cool enough to handle.
Spread a spoonful of cauliflower sauce on the bottom of a 9-inch square glass baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Layer lasagna noodles, ½ cup sauce, one-fourth of the veggies, a good sprinkle of salt, ½ cup cheese, and ¼ cup sauce (I put the sauce in each layer twice – once under the veggies and once on top).
Repeat layers 4 times, ending with noodles.
Cover the top noodle layer with ½ cup sauce and the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
Cover with greased foil and bake for 25 minutes.
The liquid should be bubbling along the sides of the dish.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 10-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown to your liking.
Cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes:
I used a combination of fresh diced tomatoes and canned diced tomatoes. If you do use tomatoes, be sure to drain the excess liquid out before adding them to the lasagna, otherwise, it will be too watery. I also found that sprinkling salt over each of the veggie layers helped it to be more flavorful, especially as leftovers.

Our Favorite Summer Salads

We love salad recipes any time of year, but we especially love salads in the summer when we can include fresh fruits and veggies from our garden.  There’s nothing quite like home grown produce that you’ve picked yourself.

Either way, these delicious summer salad recipes will quickly become a favorite in your home.  [Read more…]

Easy Campfire Food Your Family Will Love

August 14, 2018 By Emily Gammon 3 Comments

We love campfire food and camping out during the summer! Check out our Camping Prep List if you are new to camping. It’s great bonding time with the family and there’s really nothing like sleeping under the stars and making memories around the campfire. Fellow campers know that one of the more enjoyable parts of camping (once you’ve set up your tent, of course) is cooking over the campfire. It’s lots of fun, but so often winds up with burnt food or hot dogs lost to the flames. Ugh! Instead of that huge bummer, give these easy campfire food ideas a try!  [Read more…]
